[nrg] HCI meeting at 12:30 tomorrow
by Laura Chen 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi everyone, This is a reminder that our next HCI meeting will be held tomorrow (Nov 1) at 12:30 in the seminar room. We have two brainstorming sessions scheduled. Rachel, Caleb, and Varun would like a brainstorming session for their submission to the CHI Art Program. Seyong would like to get ideas from you about dealing with interactive UI features such as motion, gesture in design process. Here is a little background information: today’s user interaction design considers interactive features of user interface. The interests on motion, timing, animation, and gesture are incredibly increasing. However, with current tools and design system, there are limited ways of presenting those interactive features to users and co-workers. In this brainstorming, we will brainstorm and discuss about interaction techniques that will manipulate and manage those interactive features in the design process. In addition, Caleb and Jiannan would like to videotape the brainstorming sessions to gather some preliminary data for their study on communication and note-taking in the brainstorming process. If you have any concerns, please let them know. Looking forward to see you there! Best, Laura

[Tux] TUX: talk tomorrow (Tuesday)

[cid:image001.png@01D22335.FB93C510] [cid:image002.png@01D22335.FB93C510] [cid:image003.png@01D22335.FB93C510] Hello Tux, and happy Thanksgiving! A reminder, we have our first talk of the year tomorrow (Tuesday, October 11). Academy Award-winner Ken Perlin from NYU will be giving a Sanders Series Invited Lecture. We look forward to seeing you at MaRS for lunch at 12:30, and the talk at 1:00 sharp! This and other talks are detailed on tux-hci.org<http://www.tux-hci.org/>, along with a handy calendar add-in so you won't miss a single event! Ken Perlin: The Coming Age of Computer Graphics [http://www.tux-hci.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/perlin-150x150.jpg] Abstract Sometime in the next five to ten years, millions of people will start wearing light-weight mixed reality glasses. Your hologlasses will be able to display extremely realistic 3D computer graphics, which will appear to exist in the world itself, and will be capable of locating and identifying the objects, people and places around you, wherever you go. This will be the dawn of what might be called the Age of Computer Graphics. Virtual objects will appear to float in the air between us, and young children will simply take for granted that they can draw in the air with their fingers, just as we now take for granted the magic of the telephone and the internet. There will be many consequent changes to our shared public space. Physical signs will gradually be replaced by virtual ones, and navigation aids we currently associate with Google Streetview will simply be part of our visual landscape. But the changes to the next generation will be far more profound. Children who grow up in a world where gesturing in the air produces visible results will start to evolve language itself. They will invent ways to communicate and interact with each other that we cannot yet imagine. In the intervening years, a continuum of experiments and prototyping experiences need to be done, to understand how people will socially engage with each other, and how they will go through their day while wearing their hologlasses. At the NYU Future Reality Lab, we are dedicated to creating those prototype, and to working with domain experts in many areas to understand the implications of the coming Age of Computer Graphics. About Prof. Perlin Ken Perlin<http://mrl.nyu.edu/perlin>, a professor in the Department of Computer Science<http://cs.nyu.edu/> at New York University<http://www.nyu.edu/>, directs the Media Research Lab<http://mrl.nyu.edu/>, and is a participating faculty member at NYU MAGNET<http://magnet.nyu.edu/>.

He serves on the Advisory Board for the Centre for Digital Media at GNWC<http://mdm.gnwc.ca/>, and external examiner for the Interactive Digital Media program at Trinity College<https://www.scss.tcd.ie/postgraduate/mscidm/>.
