by Laura Chen 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Hi everyone, I would like to conduct a pilot study this week on multi-modal communication in live streaming. The study should take about 35-45 minutes in total. The study will require you to download an Android app that I have implemented. If you have an Android phone/tablet with version 4.1 or above, please come and help out! =) If you don’t have an Android phone but would still like to take part, please let me know! Thanks so much, Laura

Participant recruitment for literature review project -- please send forward!
by Nicole Sultanum 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Hello DGP folks, As some of you may know, Christine and I are working on a project to support the process of conducting literature reviews. We plan on starting evaluations soon, and would like to request your *help to disseminate the recruitment note below*. We are particularly interested in recruiting people *outside *of HCI and Computer Science for the sake of generality, so please forward this to eligible individuals you know who work in other schools/fields. We will also be doing pilot studies over the weekend/early next week, so let us know if you would like to help out :) Thanks so much, Nicole ---------- Recruiting researchers (all fields) for a literature review study at UofT - $30 compensation Anyone who has been in academia for a while has felt the pain of conducting an academic literature review. Be it reviewing and filtering countless papers or establishing connections between concepts, the process as a whole is painful and overwhelming, and has not been thoroughly supported by traditional literature management tools (e.g. Mendeley or EndNote). We are two graduate students in Computer Science who are working on a project to make this process smoother. We have created a proof of concept for a new interactive tool for literature review support, and would like to evaluate it with the help of the research community. For this purpose, we are seeking individuals to participate in an evaluation study. Eligible individuals will be those actively engaged in academic research (i.e. graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and professors) who are comfortable with the exercise of academic literature reviews in their field of research. Ideally, individuals should have conducted at least one in-depth literature review in their career. We are open to all fields of academic knowledge and levels of expertise. The details of the study and requested time commitment are as follows: The study/time commitment: Participants will be asked to interact with our research tool for literature review on a collection of papers related to their research, for about 1.5 to 2h. Participants will be asked to select 3-5 papers on a research topic/question they wish to explore, prior to the session. Schedule: The study will take place between August 23 and September 2. Eligible participants should have reasonable availability within those dates. Eligibility: Individuals working in academic occupations (Masters, PhDs, Post-Docs and Professors) who routinely read and manage academic articles for their research. Location: Sessions will be held at the Bahen Centre for Information Technology (40 St George St). Compensation: Participants will be offered $30 for their time and contribution. Signing up: If you are interested in taking part, sign-up here: http://bit.ly/2vIgHaf. Limited spots!

paid short-term RA position to help run a usability study
by Cosmin Munteanu 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

Hi all, me and Seongkook are planning to run a usability study sometime later this summer (ideally before the CHI deadline :) if the ethics comes through in time). This is a classic controlled experiment, looking at a touch-based interface to help correct recognition errors during voice input (dictation) on mobile devices. If anyone is interested in helping with this please let me know. Given that the study is fairly straightforward, this is a great opportunity to practice running controlled experiments for those of you who have not done a complete such study yet (or those of you who are experienced but have some spare cycles or wouldn't mind the extra pay :) ) The position will be paid as hourly rate, and any publications coming out of this will receive co-authorship rights. The interface is almost complete, and a crude prototype is currently working (prior work was done by a collaborator's PhD student at SFU who can no longer work on this). However this will require a bit of additional coding -- all in Python + Kivy. Please let me know if you're interested in helping out and I'll follow up with more details. Thanks, Cosmin -- Dr. Cosmin Munteanu Assistant Professor Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology, University of Toronto Mississauga Co-Director Technologies for Aging Gracefully Lab, University of Toronto Assistant Professor (Cross-appointed) Faculty of Information, University of Toronto Assistant Professor (Cross-appointed) Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto Email: cosmin(a)taglab.ca Web: http://cosmin.taglab.ca Phone: 905-569-4294 CCT Building Rm. 3067 University of Toronto Mississauga 3359 Mississauga Road Mississauga, ON L5L 1C6

by Nicole Sultanum 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Hi all, Below follows details for demo submissions to ISS'17 (previously "ITS", previously "Tabletops")... it seemed pretty interesting, and it's a good fit to some of you, so forwarding FYI. Nicole ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Also just a quick promo email for the demonstrations at Interactive Surfaces and Spaces conference (ISS 2017) will be in Brighton (UK) from 17th to 20th of October 2017 … This year the ISS interactivity night will be collocated with the Spatial User Interaction (SUI 2017) interactivity session to double the fun! We have also invited media to cover the event and hope this will be a great opportunity for you to publicize your exciting research even more. Additionally, all demos will be entered into a competition and the best demo in each theme (on-body, virtual, physical and public space) will win a free registration to the conference. We are looking for exciting demos even though they may have been presented somewhere else in the past, i.e. a short 2 pages abstract with few modifications will be accepted as long as the demo is original and exciting! Note that we will be able to provide *Demo Honorarium for up to 10 students who are travelling more than 500 miles* to bring their demos to the demo reception on the 17th October. The total value of the honorarium will be about $400 per student (this may include discounted prices for hotel bookings). In addition to this, we will augment the honorarium with a 50% discount on conference early-bird registration cost for the selected students. Let us know if you have any questions, deadline is the 19 of July! We look forward to seeing you in Brighton! Anne, Abe, Simon and Kazuki https://iss2017.acm.org/authors/demos/
