Hello (from the other side),
Our bi-weekly meeting starts tommorrow Tuesday(April 12th) in the DGP seminar room! As always, lunch will be provided.
We have once again two brainstorming sessions planned for this week. Mingming Fan will be presenting first, his abstract is as follows:
Sensing techniques have been gaining a lot of attention in ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) and HCI community for a variety of applications. Based on whether a signal (e.g., audio) has been generated and outputted actively from the computing unit (e.g., sensor, phone), sensing techniques can be categorized into passive sensing and active sensing. By analyzing how that output signal is affected by a system (e.g., space, object), rich information can be learnt about that system. In this presentation, I will present a few example applications of using active probing methods drawn from both my own work and others. I hope to use these examples to provoke a thorough discussion about the following three questions and beyond: 1) What extensions can be done toward these applications? 2) What other interesting applications can the active probing method also be used for? 3) How to demonstrate the applications are actually useful and practical?
Rachel Franz and Caleb will be next. Their abstract is as follows:
We would like to lead a session to brainstorm potential concepts or design spaces for CHI's art exhibition. Our goal is to create an experiential and conceptual installation that engages the diverse CHI audience from designers to scientists
Hope to see you there,
Candice Lin
