Hello everyone,

This is a reminder for our HCI meeting tomorrow. It is going to be at 12:30pm @DGP seminar room. Haijun and Caleb(Zhicong) will lead a brainstorming. I put brief intros of their brainstorming topics below.

Haijun: In this meeting, I will talk about several projects I am working on, including novel interaction techniques in virtual reality, visualization authoring, and collaborative authoring environment, and so on.

Zhicong: Live streaming services have not only been used for remote event viewing, entertainment or sharing life with friends, but also for knowledge sharing from individuals who have expertise in certain domains, such as college-level mathematics, history, psychology, language, culinary, and culture etc. From the findings of my previous interviews with such streamers, one of the biggest challenges they face is the lack of available channels for getting feedback efficiently and assessing the engagement level of their viewers, which is critical for the efficacy of knowledge sharing. From the brainstorming session, I would like to gain some ideas about how to assist streamers in getting feedback efficiently and assessing viewer's engagement through different information.
