The rapid digitalization of society, together with the pervasiveness of mobile and wearable devices, is creating unprecedented Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) scenarios. Mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearables have high computing and connectivity capabilities, and they are provided with several sensors that are able to acquire a vast amount of biometric information, for purposes such as security (user recognition systems), health and fitness (activity trackers), user profiling (social media and e-commerce), etc. The availability of such a massive amount of information, and the widespread use of mobile and wearable biometric systems have raised concerns among the technical people as well as the general public regarding aspects such as the performance, reliability, protection of privacy, bias, misuse, regulations, and their impact on society.

In light of the above, it is therefore of paramount importance to design feasible and effective solutions, compliant with new specifications accounting for social good. The workshop will highlight the recent developments in the evolving areas of mobile and wearable biometric systems in relation to such concerns. 

The Workshop on Advances of Mobile and Wearable Biometrics will take place in person (with hybrid participation) on September 26, 2023 at MobileHCI'23, in Athens, Greece.

Submissions are due on June 15 June 24, 2023, AOE. See Call for Participation and Important Dates.
