 Early registration deadline: September 25, 1998

 Last October, the first Workshop on Perceptual User Interfaces (PUI'97) was
 held in Banff, Canada. This meeting began a dialog which will continue this
 year with the 1998 Workshop on Perceptual User Interfaces (PUI'98), to be
 held at the Mark Hopkins Inter-Continental Hotel in San Francisco,
 California.  The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers
 from academia and industry with common interests in making human-computer
 interaction more natural and compelling by integrating perceptual
 capabilities into the user interface.  

 The two-day workshop will be structured to facilitate a high degree of
 interaction. There will be oral and poster presentations of current
 research, invited talks, focused discussions, and open discussion time. The
 meeting directly follows the ACM UIST'98 conference, to be held at a nearby
 hotel.

 Topics of interest include speech and sound recognition, vision-based
 interfaces, haptics, multimodal interfaces, learning and user modeling,
 cognitive studies, integrating multiple sources of information, and systems
 issues associated with perceptual user interfaces.
