Hello All, We are conducting a study to evaluate different ways to tell travel stories. We have created a short survey which involves viewing and rating set of short audio and video clips. We would greatly appreciate your participation. The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete. You can find the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/crosscast Please open this link on a desktop (or laptop) computer. All clips have audio, so make sure you turn on the sound. Thank you for your help! Haijun

Hi everyone, here's actually the Google Doc to take a look at: tiny.cc/dgpontrack - Students OnTrack Research GoTo (External) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vEv37GH4Juzo1QC9PRiPfI9St2TRJMXNSflqXA3… Thanks!

Hello everyone! We are having our HCI meeting tomorrow on Tuesday, Apr 2nd. The meeting starts at 12:30 PM. In this week, Weiwen will first practice his CHI talk: "How Do One's Peers on a Leaderboard Affect Oneself?". Here is the paper link: http://bit.ly/movieleaderboards Next, Joseph, Hammad, and Winter will present a set of experimental interventions (and where available, results) aimed at keeping students in an introductory computer science course on track with the course content. Here is the feedback on some end of course survey questions, currently available at this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OgGzJeTpWYO4ZIQ91YBi5GWzf8RZN7yPjhtLvWf… Please join and participate in the meeting. Lunch will be provided. Hope to see all of you tomorrow, Franklin

Fwd: [active] [graphics seminar] Maria Yablonina, Today, 12:00 noon

FYI: relevant to HCI. You should attend, if you can :) - fanny > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Alec Jacobson <jacobson(a)cs.toronto.edu> > Subject: [active] [graphics seminar] Maria Yablonina, Today, 12:00 noon > Date: 1 April 2019 at 09:49:03 GMT-4 > To: graphics(a)dgp.toronto.edu, vis-discuss(a)cs.toronto.edu, active-announce(a)dgp.toronto.edu > > 12:00 noon, Monday, 1 April 2019 > Bahen 5166 > **Lunch will be provided** > > The dgp Graphics Seminar prouldy presents > > Maria Yablonina, University of Stuttgart > > Task-Specific Architecture Machines > > Today the discourse of digital fabrication in the context of architectural research is dominated by the image of an industrial robot arm performing complex movements to produce complex geometry. But what happens when we move beyond appropriation of available hardware towards architecture-specific machines and devices? > > Envisioning an entire ecology of machine species designed specifically to manipulate material at an architectural scale opens up a conversation about the role of robotic creatures in architecture beyond construction. A smaller fabrication machine capable of navigating an existing architectural space and safely operating next to a human implies that a fabrication process can be executed on site, and more importantly does not have to be finite, venturing into the topics of adaptive and reconfigurable spaces. > > Bio: > Maria Yablonina is an architect, researcher and artist working in the field of computational design and digital fabrication in architecture. Her practice explores new means of interaction with an architectural space through technology; custom, task-specific fabrication machines; and soft material systems. She works at the intersection of architecture and robotics, producing spaces and architectural objects that can construct themselves and change in real time, potentially becoming interaction devices. > Maria has been commissioned and exhibited by institutions including Milan Design Week, Ars Electronica, Kapelica Gallery (Ljubljana); and The Cooper Union. In her research, she has collaborated internationally with institutions including Autodesk Pier 9 (San Francisco), ETH Zurich, WeWork (New York), and Bartlett School of Architecture (London). > Currently Maria is a doctoral researcher and tutor at the Institute for Computational Design and Construction, Faculty of Architecture, University of Stuttgart. > > To meet with Maria, please email jacobson(a)cs.toronto.edu <mailto:jacobson@cs.toronto.edu> > > dgp graphics seminar google calendar <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=3comf7k8i2n64mvbv8k7susfdo%4…> > dgp-graphics-seminar-ical.ics <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/3comf7k8i2n64mvbv8k7susfdo%40grou…> > Subscribe to graphics@dgp <https://www.dgp.toronto.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/graphics>_______________________________________________ > active-announce mailing list > https://www.dgp.toronto.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/active-announce > Note: active-announce is not a discussion list.
