#WWDC24 Apple's #MathNotes is great. They finally caught up 20+ years of HCI research in interactive sketching (like MathPad2). For the next step, they can probably update their Preview or Safari apps to further integrate this. Look forward to seeing it in the future. #WWDC

Visited Aarhus University 🇩🇰 What a beautiful city. Thanks for having me Germán Leiva

#DIS2024 I will present RealityEffects, an authoring tool to augment 3D volumetric videos with object-centric annotation and dynamic visual effects Led by @imjliao, Kevin Van, Zhijie CS at U Calgary dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

I'm excited to announce that after an amazing four years at UCalgary, I’m joining the University of Colorado Boulder as an Assistant Professor at the ATLAS Institute and the Department of Computer Science! CU Boulder 🦬 CU Boulder Engineering 🦬 ATLAS Institute 🦬 colorado.edu/atlas/

🚨 #UIST2024 Paper: SHAPE-IT🪄 SHAPE-IT enables users to freely 'tell' the shape display to transform by only giving text instructions using LLMs. It offers an experience like that Sci-Fi Clay that can shape-shift whatever you say it to be✨🪄 AxLab - Actuated Experience Lab The University of Chicago →🧵

#UIST2024 Very excited to present the future of #LLM x #ShapeDisplay for programmable dynamic shape-changing interfaces based on natural languages. Collaboration with The University of Chicago (Ken Nakagaki's AxLab - Actuated Experience Lab lab) and ATLAS Institute 🦬 CU Boulder 🦬

What if you could make physics diagrams come alive? At #UIST2024, we will be presenting our paper, Augmented Physics, an ML-Integrated Authoring Tool for Creating Interactive Physics Simulations from Static Diagrams Co-authors: Yi Wen Nandi Zhang Jarin Rubaiat Habib Ryo Suzuki

#UIST2024 Programmable Reality Lab at UIST Hye-Young Jo Aditya Gunturu Nandi Zhang Mehrad Faridan Jarin Thundathil from CU Boulder 🦬 ATLAS Institute 🦬 and U Calgary Thank you for coming to the Augmented Physics demo. Please also come to the talk at the last session of tomorrow 10/16 Wed.

Michael Qian + Jesse Gao gave a transformative talk, especially with a LIVE DEMO to remotely control the shape display in our lab in UChicago using their system! Thanks to Chi for running the hardware at AxLab - Actuated Experience Lab !

#UIST2024 Huge congrats Aditya Gunturu Yi Wen Nandi Zhang Jarin Thundathil Rubaiat Habib for the Best Paper Award 🎉 It's honored to work with such amazing master's and undergraduate students.

Everyone at UIST is just too cool!! Love it. Thank Ryo Suzuki for sending me to conferences that I don’t have presentations in 🥺🥺❤️ Wish to meet all of you in Yokohama next year!

To prospective PhD students, there is a PhD information session hosted by CU Boulder ATLAS Institute on 10/29 (Tue) 8AM MT. In particular, if you're working on #Tangible, #AR, and #Robotics areas, please contact me too. You can learn more here: colorado.edu/atlas/academic…

#CHI2025 We had a great #AR x #AI workshop on Everyday AR through AI-in-the-Loop today. Thank you for joining the workshop. xr-and-ai.github.io

#CHI2025 We will present "From Following to Understanding: Investigating the Role of Reflective Prompts in AR-Guided Tasks to Promote User Understanding" led by Nandi Zhang @ CHI 25 and Yukang Yan PDF: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/37… Video: youtu.be/QH7lpkRQcs0 Talk: 4/29 (Tue) 11:10-12:40

Thanks to my wonderful advisors Yukang Yan and Ryo Suzuki! I enjoyed every phase of this project and grew through it with a more mature perspective as an HCI researcher.

#CHI2025 Great talk by Nandi Zhang about reflective prompts for AR task guidance. (And thank you Parastoo Abtahi for chairing the session)

#CHI2025 Current and past group photos with me, my students, and my advisor. See you all again in Barcelona for #CHI2026 Hye-Young Jo Keiichi Ihara Nandi Zhang Xiaoan Mehrad Faridan Jarin Thundathil Hiroki Kaimoto Ran Zhou | 周然 Daniel Leithinger
