26 Jul '16

Hi folks, Our weekly meeting starts today (July 26th) in the DGP seminar room. As always, lunch will be provided. Sidharth will do a brain storming session on discussing the use case scenarios for the userID on touchscreen. In particular, he has the following three questions to brainstorm on: 1. where all userID might be beneficial (considering environment and devices) 2. what types of interactions can be designed for fingers, hands and users 3. what use-case applications can be designed for userID Looking forward to seeing you. Best, Zhicong

FW: Survey on Novel Interaction Techniques
by Ravin Balakrishnan 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

From: Diana Lipcanu [mailto:diana.lipcanu@inria.fr] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2016 8:19 AM To: ravin(a)dgp.toronto.edu Subject: Survey on Novel Interaction Techniques Dear Ravin Balakrishnan, We are two Master students in HCI working with Professors Michel Beaudouin-Lafon and Wendy Mackay at the Université Paris-Saclay and Inria. We are currently working on a project called the Interaction Museum, an online collection of interaction techniques. We are interested in how HCI researchers and designers create, use and distribute novel interaction techniques. Given your work in this area, we would appreciate it if you could take 7-10 minutes to fill out our survey: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2726666/Interaction-Techniques It would also help us if you could forward this message to other people in your lab who have also created or helped design novel interaction techniques. All feedback and questions are welcome! Thank you for your help! Best regards, Diana Lipcanu <http://Public%20Profilehttps:/fr.linkedin.com/in/dianalipcanu> & Isha van Baar

Andres Lucero from the University of Southern Denmark giving a talk tomorrow
by Michelle Annett 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello All, Tomorrow at *11 am* Andres will be giving a talk in the DGP conference room (5187). His abstract and bio are included below. He will also be in the lab beforehand (at around *9:30 am*) for some demos so if you would like to show him or chat with him about your work, please let me know and I will add you to the list. -Michelle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Title:* Social and Spatial Interactions *Abstract:* Mobile phones were originally conceived and have traditionally been utilized for personal use. The improvement in sensor and short-range communication technologies offers possibilities to explore shared use of mobile phones. In this paradigm shift, collocated users engage in collaborative activities using their devices, thus going from personal-individual towards shared-multiuser experiences and interactions. The Social and Spatial Interactions (SSI) platform extends the current individual use of these devices to support shared collocated interactions with mobile phones. The platform supports shared collocated interactions, using the mobile phone as a physical interface and a sensor network built in the phone to track the position of the phones on a flat surface. The question the platform addresses is if people are willing to share their devices and engage in collaborative interactions. In this talk I will discuss the different methods used to create playful and engaging interactions in the context of the SSI project. *Bio:* I am an Associate Professor of interaction design in the Mads Clausen Insitute at the University of Southern Denmark in Kolding. My recent work at Nokia focused on the design and evaluation of novel interaction techniques for mobile phones and other interactive surfaces. My interests lie in the areas of mobile human-computer interaction (HCI), co-design, and design research. I got my Masters degree in Visual Communication Design from Universidad Tecnológica Metropolitana (UTEM), Santiago, Chile. In 2004 I received a Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) degree in User-System Interaction from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands, which included a one-year project in Philips Research. In 2009 I completed my PhD at the TU/e on co-designing mixed reality support tools for industrial designers. As part of my PhD work, I was a visiting researcher at the University of Art and Design Helsinki (TAIK).

[nrg] Weekly HCI meeting at 12:30 on Tuesday

Hi folks, Our weekly meeting starts tomorrow (July 19th) in the DGP seminar room. As always, lunch will be provided. I am going to have a practice talk for HCII 2016, where I will help my friend, Xiaojuan Ma from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, to present her work during the conference. I'd like to get some feedback about how I should present the work to make it more comprehensive. You can find the paper from the following url: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-319-39513-5_2 The abstract of the paper is as follows: Baozou comic, a.k.a. rage comic internationally, has been widely used as a form of visual communication of emotions in social media, advertisement, entertainment, and many other domains in China. In particular, Chinese netizens have converted this type of Internet memes into emoticons and use them extensively in Instant Messaging applications. This paper discusses the potential socio-economic context of the Baozou comic phenomenon in China. Baozou comic is a unique combination of cuteness and parody, and can serve as a vehicle to convey out-of-control, subtle, complicated, or hidden emotions. Its ugly aesthetics reflects the self-perception of a new generation of Chinese Internet users. The grassroots emoticon engineering process, including easy production, replication, and customization, also contributes to the growing popularity of Baozou comic in China. Analysis on miscommunication over Baozou emoticons reveal some related issues such as the need to balance ambiguity and emotional depth in expressions.

Hi all, Our weekly meeting starts today(July 5th) in the DGP seminar room! As always, lunch will be provided. Simon is going to lead a brain storm session. You can find a brief introduction below. Something like "The design of UI's for neurofeedback applications" is what it looks like my presentation is turning into. I'll be talking about some recent work in brain computer interfaces (BCI), what sorts of things they are good at doing, why a particular application of these devices poses an interesting problem for how things are typically done with them, and how this problem highlights bigger issues in BCI design. If you are receiving this message, we assume you are coming and will be ordering food for you. Please ping if you will not be attending. Looking forward to seeing you. Best, Zhicong
