Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Enactive Interfaces

Enactive Interfaces and Systems are a new generation of Human- Computer Interfaces (HCI) that are based on the concept of Enactive knowledge, that is the knowledge acquired by doing. These new interfaces allow to make old applications more intelligent and responsive and to create new kinds of applications. The introduction of the Enaction concept in HCI has created a multidisciplinary research commu- nity capable of integrating theoretical model with interaction paradigms and advanced technologies like visualization systems, haptics and spatialized audio. The Enactive Conference is an important annual meeting occasion for researchers in the field of Enactive Interfaces. This conference series has been started by in 2004 by the European Network of Excellence. On the behalf of the Organization Committee we would like to welcome you to the proceedings of ENACTIVE08, the fifth edition of the International Conference on Enactive Interfaces. ENACTIVE08 is held in Pisa at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna on 19th-21st November 2008. We would like to take this opportunity to thank to all the authors and the reviewers of the papers for their precious contribution and commitment. Furthermore we would like to thank all the people of the Committees for their efforts and the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna for the support
