CHI 2017 Student Volunteering
by Cosmin Munteanu 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Hi all, if any of you (that is, DGP students) will be attending CHI 2017 -- I have a "nomination ticket" for one student volunteer slot in the early SV lottery. This early lottery is reserved for nominations made by PC members and chairs, and it has a much higher chance of success than the open lottery for SV. If any of you wants the nomination please let me know this week. The nomination closes on Tuesday the 20th. You need to be already registered at http://chisv.org/ Cheers, 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 Phone: 905-569-4294 Web: http://cosmin.taglab.ca CCT Building Rm. 3067 University of Toronto Mississauga 3359 Mississauga Road Mississauga, ON L5L 1C6

Demos - Computer Graphics Club
by rorik＠dgp.toronto.edu 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Hi all, The U of T Computer Graphics Club (undergrad interest group) is going to be coming by the lab Tuesday evening (29th) around 7pm for a tour, a few demos, etc. I know this is last minute, but if you're available and have something that you could demo, if you could please let either Rahul or me know so we can show the students all the cool stuff going on in our lab! This is a great way to spot promising students, generate interest for graphics and HCI, and practice talking about your work. Thanks for your help. Rorik

[Tux] TUX Reminder: Roel Vertegaal Tomorrow @ DGP UofT
by Ali Mazalek 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

cid:image008.png@01D10810.C2D01210 Hello TUX! A reminder that tomorrow we will have a member presentation by Roel Vertegaal. The details of the talk are below. The talk will be in the DGP Lab in the Department of Computer Science at U of T (5th Floor, 40 St. George St.). We look forward to seeing you there! Ali, Daniel, Khai and Tovi Tuesday, November 22 at 12:30pm, Tux Proudly Presents: Roel Vertegaal *DGP Lab, Department of Computer Science at U of T @ 40 St. George St. 5th Floor* Lunch reception begins at 12:30pm. Presentation begins at 1pm. *Towards Real Reality Interfaces: From Interactive Light Fields to Programmable Matter* The current hype cycle of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) fails to recognize the inherent problem with these technologies: That they require alteration of the human perceptive channels in order to achieve the illusion of immersion in a virtual world. This requirement leads not only to bulky head mounted displays, but also to cumbersome tracking technologies to keep these displays in sync with the user's movements. At the Human Media Lab in Kingston, Ontario, we have been working since 2004 on an alternate approach: Modifying the real world, by turning physical materials into programmable software objects. I will begin with our first attempts, which utilized dynamic projection mapping to imbue solid objects, paper and textiles with high resolution interactive displays. Next, I will discuss our use of conforming flexible displays to create digital skins that allow objects of any shape to appear like a display without the need for projection or tracking. I will then discuss our recent progress in developing light field displays that allow glasses-free, head tracking free stereoscopic images with motion parallax on any object. I will conclude with a discussion of our work on programmable matter, via self-levitating physical voxels. *Bio* Dr. Roel Vertegaal is a Professor of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at Queen’s University’s School of Computing in Kingston, Ontario, and director of the Human Media Laboratory. He is also CEO of Xuuk, inc., a startup that develops ubiquitous eye input applications. Roel’s first degree is in electronic music from Utrecht Conservatory in The Netherlands. He did an MSc in computing in Britain, studied design in the hague, and holds a PhD in HCI from Twente University. Roel is one of the world’s experts on eye communication between humans, and between humans and technology. His work on Attentive User Interfaces (AUI) [Google TechTalk] was featured in media across the globe, from Good Morning America to Scientific American. Roel helped create the first north-american conference on eye tracking (ACM ETRA), established alt.chi as the alternative papers venue at the annual ACM CHI conference and advised the National Academy of Sciences. his current interest is in Organic User Interfaces (OUI). “In the near future, a computer will have any shape or form, and flexible computer displays will start appearing on any product of any form. These Organic User Interfaces will be completely embedded in real world interactions.” ** *OUR SPONSORS:* *TUX is made possible by the support of our sponsors, Steven Sanders, Autodesk, * *University of Toronto Department of Computer Science, and MaRS*. */About MaRS:/*/MaRS is the one of the world’s largest urban innovation hubs—a place for collaboration, creativity and entrepreneurship.

This is a really interesting topic that Bill will be talking about. -khai ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Khai N. Truong <khai(a)cs.toronto.edu> Date: Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 9:12 AM Subject: Reminder: DLS speaker TODAY -- Dr. Bill Tomlinson in GB 120 To: dcs-all(a)cs.toronto.edu Dear all, The next DLS talk for this year will take place today in GB 120. Our guest is Dr. Bill Tomlinson. Please find information about the talk below. Please note that we will start on time (at 11AM) in order to clear from the room for a class that takes place there at noon. Also please note that the room holds about 108 people. You are encouraged to come early and try to use the inner seats to create space for the attendees that come later to be able to sit. Thanks, -khai ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Event date: Thursday, November 17, 2016, at 11:00 AM Location: GB 120 Speaker: Dr. Bill Tomlinson Professor of Informatics University of California, Irvine Title: Computing, Sustainability, and Global Disruption Abstract: Humanity is currently facing profound global challenges such as climatic disruption, biodiversity loss, air pollution and ocean acidification. These challenges threaten to disrupt the lives of billions of people, and call into question our species’ ability to live sustainably. Fortunately, modern information systems offers a powerful means of tackling complex problems such as those involved in this suite of issues. In this talk, Professor Tomlinson will present his recent work in bringing computational tools to bear on problems of sustainability and disruption. In particular, he will describe a current research effort that seeks to enable a new approach to sustainable food security. Biography: Bill Tomlinson is a Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, and a researcher in the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology. He research areas include ICT for sustainability, computing withinlimits, human-computer interaction, and computer-supported learning. His book Greening through IT (MIT Press, 2010) examines the ways in which information technology can help people think and act on the broad scales of time, space, and complexity necessary for us to address the world's current environmental issues. In addition, he has authored dozens of papers across a range of journals and conferences in computing, the learning sciences, and the law. His work has been reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the LA Times, Wired.com, Scientific American Frontiers, CNN, and the BBC. In 2007, he received an NSF CAREER award and in 2008 he was selected as a Sloan Research Fellow. He holds an A.B. in Biology from Harvard College, an M.F.A. in Experimental Animation from CalArts, and S.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the MIT Media Lab. -- Khai N.
