Really enjoyed @ken_hinckley’s #UIST2021 Vision Talk: The “Seen but Unnoticed” Vocabulary of Natural Touch. Amazing Q&A with @[email protected] James Eagan. Here are the two #sketchnotes David Ledo and I created during the session (Vision paper PDF here: bit.ly/3DyID0v) Microsoft Research ACM UIST

Yesterday we had Michael Nebeling over and he shared some of his lessons learned over the years with Extended Reality, including his multidisciplinary work, system building, and the future of prototyping/collaboration/education.

Notes from the inspiring podcast conversation of Kevin Scott with author Neal Stephenson: fascinating thoughts about fiction and society, plurality of the metaverse, addressing carbon capture, all the way to building physical things with CNC machines. #sketchnotes

If you are looking for a PhD position in Human-AI interaction, this is a fantastic opportunity — Steven is an amazing supervisor! Can’t wait to see what he and the students in his lab in Eindhoven work on next

Congratulations again to Yvonne Rogers UCLIC for the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award. In her talk, Yvonne showed many examples on how to ‘design tech to empower us’ — below is a @sketchnote of her inspiring talk at #CHI2022

#sketchnote of excellent talk by Hasti Seifi about Haptic Experience Design at the UCLIC HCI Seminar; empowering everyone to access/understand/adapt haptic technology — really enjoyed learning about work on VibViz and Haptipedia (and also LocomotionVault for VR)!

Congratulations to Wendy Mackay for the #CHI2024 Lifetime Research Award — and sharing so many insights in her talk ‘Wendy’s Words of Wisdom’. Here are my #sketchnotes from her wonderful talk

Our #UIST2024 work, BlendScape, explores how to empower end-users to tailor video-conferencing environments to their meeting context by leveraging AI image generation techniques.

Excited to share our work, SpaceBlender, which will be presented at #UIST2024! Given user-provided images, this generative AI pipeline blends users’ physical surroundings into unified 3D environments for VR telepresence, creating context-rich virtual spaces for collaboration.
