DESCRIPTION
-----------
A new research direction is currently emerging in which pervasive  
display technology is used to reveal information about wearers and  
inhabitants, their activities or their surrounding environment. Such  
applications tend to be multidisciplinary in nature, and often focus  
on the "output" side of pervasive computing, as a multimodal  
"feedback" mechanism for the wearer or any other person in their  
vicinity. Pervasive display technology often experiments beyond the  
use of simple LCD or pixel-based displays, instead utilizing a wide  
set of alternative output technologies such as LED arrays, e-textiles,  
electroluminescent wires, thermo-chromatic inks, shape-changing  
materials, inflatables and complex sound generators.

This workshop wants to bring together people from different domains  
interested in the visual or auditory representation of information for  
users in the pervasive realm. We also hope to explore how novel  
visual, auditory and alternative modalities (e.g. tactile, olfactory,  
visceral) materials can function as a communicative layer in the  
design of artifacts, garments and spaces that are truly pervasive.
We invite submissions from researchers, practioners, industry and  
artists. Submissions can include works in progress, research  
contributions, position statement or demonstrations in the form of a 4  
to 6-page position paper.
