A reminder that tomorrow we have a Sanders Series Invited Lecture by Dr. Steven Feiner. We look forward to seeing you there! Ali, Daniel, and Tovi TUX Member Presentation: Dr. Steven Feiner *January 15, 2019. Autodesk-MaRS @ 661 University Ave #200, Toronto, ON. * Lunch reception begins at 12:30 pm. Presentation begins at 1:00 pm. *User Interfaces for Collaborative AR and VR * How can we build 3D user interfaces that help people collaborate more effectively? I will present research by the Columbia University Computer Graphics and User Interfaces Lab that explores the design and implementation of collaborative AR and VR environments. The experimental systems that I will discuss use different kinds of head-tracked eyewear and address a wide range of task domains, from remote maintenance assistance, to urban visualization, to motor rehabilitation. All were developed with our open-source Mercury Messaging toolkit for Unity (https://github.com/ColumbiaCGUI/MercuryMessaging), which supports cross-component communication among scene objects within and between computers. * * *Bio* Steve Feiner is a Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University, where he directs the Computer Graphics and User Interfaces Lab. His lab has been conducting virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and wearable computing research for over 25 years, designing and evaluating novel 3D interaction and visualization techniques, creating the first outdoor mobile AR system using a see-through head-worn display and GPS, and pioneering applications of AR to fields as diverse as tourism, journalism, maintenance, construction, and medicine. Steve received an AB in Music and a PhD in Computer Science, both from Brown University.

COMPASS began as ACM DEV, which was held annually between 2010 and 2016. The COMPASS conference, now in its second year, aims to advance the state-of-the-art in developing sustainable technologies for regions around the world. Researchers at the conference have broad technical expertise, spanning artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, networking, systems, speech and language processing, computer security, data mining, and computer vision. They seek to apply this expertise to diverse problems in sustainable development, spanning health, accessibility, education, agriculture, financial services, and governance. Call for Papers The second annual ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies (COMPASS 2019) invites submissions for the conference. The program <https://acmcompass.org/2018/program> from last year showcases the types of topics typically relevant to the conference. COMPASS broadly includes papers from four general “areas”: Systems, HCI, Data Science/AI, and Deployment Experiences. *Systems: *The Systems area focuses on computational innovations. Relevant topics may include networking; data collection toolkits; *HCI: *The HCI area focuses on socio-technical systems. Relevant topics may include gender equity; social forces influencing wireless network access; the landlord/tenant information economy; *Data Science/AI: *The Data Science/AI area focuses on analysis, collection of large scale data sets as well as models and algorithms for developing and studying AI based systems. AI applications not deployed are also considered in this area. *Deployment Experiences: *The Deployment Experiences area focuses on reporting experiences with field deployments or results from long-term studies that can provide valuable insights into how our tools perform (or fail) in real-world applications. Tracks COMPASS 2019 will have two tracks. To help facilitate global representativeness, COMPASS provides mentoring to support potential authors who need guidance in creating these papers. The* Papers* track will represent archival journal-type submissions, with a length of between 4 to 10 pages plus references. Papers submitted to this track should represent polished, significant contributions. Authors are encouraged to submit a paper of length proportional to its contribution. In addition, COMPASS 2019 will have a *Posters *track for preliminary projects or late-breaking results. Posters will not be archival and are intended to allow presenters to share their latest results or get early feedback on projects. Poster submissions will be limited to 2 pages plus references. There are two poster submission deadlines (March 15 and May 15) to allow for earlier travel planning as well as late-breaking work. Important dates Feb 1, 2019: Requests for mentorship due March 15, 2019: Submission of Papers and Posters (first round) due April 1, 2019: Notification of Posters (first round) acceptances May 1, 2019: Notification of decisions for Papers May 15, 2019: Submission of Posters (second round) due May 30, 2019: Notification of Posters (second round) acceptances June 15, 2019: Camera-ready of Papers due All submission are due 11:59 pm UTC.

HCI Meeting Tomorrow
by Mohammad Rashidujjaman Rifat 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hi All, We have our HCI group meeting tomorrow at 12:30 PM at DGP Seminar room. Dina Sabie will talk about designing technologies for refugees in Canada. In addition, she will be talking about what she has done in her Ph.D. so far and what is her future plan. Lunch will be provided during the meeting. Please drop by and give your feedback. People who are very busy with term-end items (exams, deadlines, etc.): you can still show up, say a hi to Dina and others, have your lunch, and leave early before the presentation starts. But please stay if you can. The presentation will start at 12:55 PM. Thanks, Rifat -- Mohammad Rashidujjaman Rifat Ph.D. Student, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto. http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~rifat/

DGP-HCI Meeting on Tuesday, Nov 27, 2018 @ DGP
by Mohammad Rashidujjaman Rifat 27 Nov '18

27 Nov '18

Hello all, We are hosting Prof. Géry Casiez in our next HCI meeting on Tuesday, November 27, 2018, at 12:30 pm at DGP Seminar room. Details about the talk are below. Lunch will be provided during the meeting. Title: The measure and compensation of latency in touch and mouse-based systems Abstract: Any interactive system exhibits some delay between a user’s action and the corresponding system response, known as the end-to-end latency. Users can perceive touchscreen latency as low as 2 ms and performance degrades above 25 ms. In indirect interaction, it has been shown that latencies above 50 ms affect performance. Yet, the latency of current systems is above these thresholds of perception and performance. How can we simply measure the latency of current touch systems and mouse-based interfaces to know how performance is affected? How can we determine where it comes from to try to reduce it? Can we compensate some of the latency using trajectory prediction without introducing side-effects caused by next-point prediction techniques? Bio: Géry Casiez is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Lille (Science and Technology) and member of Inria Lille. In 2018, he has been appointed junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France for 5 years. His research interests include input devices and interaction techniques, transfer functions, system responsiveness, and hardware fabrication. He is the co-author of more than 30 papers published at CHI and UIST and he regularly serves in the program committees of these conferences. Géry Casiez was president of the Association Franco-phone de l’Interaction Homme-Machine (AFIHM) from 2014 to 2017. He received his Ph.D. degree at the University of Lille in 2004.

23 Nov '18

Hello All, Prof. Géry Casiez (University of Lille (Science and Technology)) and Prof. Dan Vogel (University of Waterloo) will visit our lab on Tuesday, Nov 27, 2018. Casiez conducts fantastic research on input devices and interaction techniques, transfer functions, system responsiveness, and hardware fabrication. Vogel works on fundamental input topics such as pointing, control-display gain, input signal filtering, hand occlusion, and gestural input. They are available after the meeting from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This is an excellent opportunity to show and discuss our work with them and get important feedback. Send me an email if you want to demo your research. Thanks, Rifat -- Mohammad Rashidujjaman Rifat Ph.D. Student, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto. http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~rifat/
