The Interdisciplinary Workshop on Human-Drone Interaction (iHDI 2020) – part of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '20) – is a gathering for scholars of human-drone interaction (HDI) and related subjects.
Human-drone interaction (HDI) is becoming an ubiquitous topic in daily life, and a rising research topic within CHI. Knowledge from many disciplines – design, engineering, social sciences, humanities... – can inform the design and study of HDI, making interdisciplinary communication essential. iHDI 2020 aims to bring together diverse perspectives, advancing HDI and its scholarship through discussions and activities involving an assortment of research and design approaches. The workshop intends to serve as a platform for an enduring community, towards results that take off.

Call for Papers
Drones are becoming ubiquitous. Current applications include logistics, construction, security, emergencies, and photography. Emerging applications like exercise, companionship, and tangible user interfaces are active research topics within the CHI community.
Knowledge from a wealth of disciplines can inform new drone applications; and communication between different disciplines (design, engineering, social sciences, humanities...) is essential. To this end, the Interdisciplinary Workshop on Human-Drone Interaction (iHDI 2020) aims to intertwine diverse perspectives, as a platform for researchers and practitioners who learn from each other.
We seek high quality contributions exploring HDI from a plethora of perspectives, including but not limited to: empirical research, engineering, design, theory, art, and opinions.
Examples for topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel HDI experiences
- Theoretical and philosophical arguments on concepts and contexts
- Transferring learnings between HDI and other HCI or extracurricular topics
- Policy and regulatory issues
- Accessible HDI
- Prototyping and development tools
- Ethnographic fieldwork with users, developers, and bystanders
The submission deadline is 11 February 2020. Authors are invited to submit position papers, up to 6 pages (including references) in the CHI Extended Abstracts Format, at: easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ihdi2020
The proceedings will be stored on the open archive HAL CEUR Workshop Proceedings, indexed by Google Scholar. A paper on workshop outcomes will be submitted to a relevant venue. Selected contributions will be considered for publication in a special issue of the THRI journal.
At least one author must attend. Attendees must register for the workshop and at least one day of CHI 2020.

Post-Workshop Plans
Workshop papers will be stored on the open archive HAL CEUR Workshop Proceedings (indexed by Google Scholar). Papers will also be listed here on the workshop website, with links to the reposiory. A brief report on workshop activities, as well as selected photos and descriptions of outputs from the hands-on session (subject to creators’ permissions) will be published here on the workshop website. We also aim to explore other online platforms for continuous knowledge sharing, based on the preferences of the community.
A variety of post-workshop academic publications will beconsidered based on the content of the accepted submissions and the outputs of workshop sessions. These include but are not limited to: a report to be submitted to a venue that is relevant to the CHI community (e.g. ACM Interactions), full paper submissions to relevant SIGCHI conferences based on synergies between research efforts presented at the workshop, and scoping a special issue of ajournal based on research agendas articulated at the workshop. (The editors-in-chief of ACM THRI have been contacted regarding a HDI special issue.)
