I enjoyed chairing this panel discussion last week. We had lots of interesting questions from the audience and great insights from our fabulous panelists, Telstra's Dayle Stevens OAM, Rahil Garnavi from IBM, & Sarita Rosenstock from Computing & Information Systems UniMelb

🚨 Our school Computing & Information Systems UniMelb is hiring 2 academics in #Graphics/#Visualisation jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/913713/… #academicjobs ACM SIGGRAPH ACM SIGCHI IEEE VIS IEEE Virtual Reality IEEE VGTC

Excited to announce a project led by Prof Felicity Baker in @unimelb Faculty of Fine Arts and Music with colleagues in Computing & Information Systems UniMelb and @engunimelb has recieved support from #GoogleOrg to fund development of an AI music adaptive system for dementia care. musicattunedcare.com


Great to be part of this project, led by Prof Evonne Miller at QUT - building a body of evidence showing that organisational support and staff time are crucial for ensuring that VR provides value when used in aged care




Great to see Computing & Information Systems UniMelb PhD student Joe Brailsford present his work at #chi2024 today. Very interesting research on AI ethics.
