>From June to August, our lab meeting will be online over Google Hangout.
Yasaman proposed another Google product (Duo?).
Time: Wednesday 11 am Toronto time
First meeting: June 12, 2019
Can I request Hazem to set up meeting link and share that with the group
one day prior to the meeting, please?

Hi Hazem,
No, I don't. I have not gotten any email approval request today. If you are
around the lab, try talking to John. I have heard people had similar issues
before.
Thanks,
Rifat

Dear all,
Otmar Hilliges, Associate Professor of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, is
visiting us on this Friday, May 31. Please find his talk title, bio below.
We would like to host some demos for him. This is a great opportunity to
build connections and increase the exposure of your work. Please let me know
by Tuesday night what time works for you in this google sheet. If you would
like to meet with him, please also indicate your availability in the sheet.

Title:
Quo Vadis Augmented Reality?
Abstract:
Virtual and Mixed Reality (XR) holds the promise to significantly change the
ways we interact with digital information. Despite much progress from both
research and industry there are still many challenges to be mastered before
XR can become a mainstream interaction paradigm. In this talk I will review
where we are as a field, outline some of the challenges ahead and talk about
some of the recent research from our lab in this space. In particular, I
will discuss new ways to capture rich user input, including full-body pose
and detailed hand pose configurations without the need for environment
mounted cameras or other tracking systems, enabling rich sensing of human
activities in on-the-go scenarios. In the second half of the talk I will
discuss novel light-weight approaches to haptic feedback for XR and adaptive
UIs that control what information to display where, depending on the user's
internal state.
Bio:
Otmar Hilliges is currently an Associate Professor of computer science at
ETH Zurich, where he leads the AIT lab. His research is at the intersection
of machine learning, computer vision and human computer interaction (HCI).
The main mission is to develop new ways for humans to interact with complex
interactive systems (computers, wearables, robots), powered by advanced
algorithms and technologies in machine perception, planning and data driven
user modelling. Prior to joining ETH he was a Researcher at Microsoft
Research Cambridge (2010-2013). His Diplom (equiv. MSc) in Computer Science
is from Technische Universität München, Germany (2004) and his PhD in
Computer Science from LMU München, Germany (2009). He spent two years as a
postdoc at Microsoft Research Cambridge (2010-2012). He has published more
than 70 peer-reviewed papers in the major venues on computer vision, HCI and
computer graphics and received an ERC starting grant in 2017 for
computational approaches to sensing based human-computer interfaces.
Finally, 20+ patents have been filed in his name on a variety of subjects
from surface reconstruction to AR/VR.
Hi all,
Priyank, our new post-doc at Thirdspace needs help in his house search. He
is looking at a place that has an open house on Thursday this week. Does
anyone of you have some time to go visit the place? The address is 268
Berkeley St, Toronto, ON M5A 2X5, Canada.
Thanks,
Rifat

Hello all,
Because of the presenter's schedule, we will move the HCI meeting tomorrow (May 28th) to the next week (June 4th). Further information will be provided. Let me know if the time does not work for you.
Thanks,
Jiannan
Hello all,
If you would like to present anything at the HCI meeting tomorrow, or have any suggestions about the plan for the meeting, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jiannan
I can do Wednesday 5-6:30 pm. Will that work for rest of you?
Regards,
Ishtiaque
