As an Invited Speaker
- Keynote Speaker (Fully funded): The Eighteenth International Symposium on Spatial Media (ISSM'17-'18) 2018, Aizuwakamatsu, Japan, March 2-4, 2018.
Abstract: With the aim of novel socially mediated interactive communication, this presentation outlines new facilities within social media spaces assisting the community to enhance interaction and communication to share information. Such interactive systems enable seamless user experiences that bear long-lasting value to communities and the issues they confront. The prototypes we developed to enhance knowledge and information sharing and retrieval will also be discussed. These systems have been developed in collaboration with professional designers, digital artists, and scholars from a range of academic disciplines. Equally importantly, the holistic and innovative solutions are informed by a trans-disciplinary approach, which blends conceptual ideas from different disciplines
