The Space and Culture Blog- worth a visit!
If you are interested in the theme of this blog, "The World is an Interactive Interface", you probably will appreciate the
Space and Culture journal/weblog. Below are links to a few posts:

CALL FOR PAPERS: Educational Interfaces, Software, and Technology, ACM CHI 2012
CALL FOR PAPERS
EDUCATIONAL INTERFACES, SOFTWARE, AND TECHNOLOGY 2012
3rd Workshop on UI Technologies and Educational Pedagogy
May 5-6 2012
in conjunction with ACM-CHI 2012, Austin, Texas
This will be our third annual workshop in conjunction with CHI 2012.
One of the primary goals of teaching is to prepare learners for life in the real world. In this ever changing world of technologies such as mobile interaction, cloud computing, natural user interfaces, and gestural interfaces like the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect, people have a greater selection of tools for the task at hand. Teachers and students can leverage these tools to improve learning outcomes. Educational interfaces and software are needed to ensure that new technologies serve a clear purpose in the classrooms and homes of the future.
Since teachers are always looking for creative ways to engage 21st century learners, there needs to be an academic venue for researchers to discuss novel educational tools and their role in improving learning outcomes. This workshop aims at filling this void: combining the pedagogical expertise of the cooperative learning, and learning sciences communities with the technical creativity of the CHI, UIST and interactive surface communities. The objective of this workshop is to become a conference within two years
Topics of interest include:
- Gestural input, multitouch, large displays
- Mobile Devices, response systems (clickers)
- Tangible, VR, AR & MR, Multimodal interfaces
- Console gaming, 3D input devices
- Co-located interaction, presentations
- Educational Pedagogy, learner-centric, Child Computer Interaction
- Empirical methods, case studies
- Multi-display interaction
- Wearable educational media
