Hi everyone, Is anyone up for sharing advice, info, examples of applications to OGS, or talking about an application? Feel free to email me and Arghavan Modiri <modiri.arghavan(a)gmail.com> if you do, or are willing to have a quick chat. When I apply for grants I find examples extremely helpful, even if in very different areas. We can capture this info in a Gdoc for future people in DGP and DCS: tiny.cc/dcsschol - Information about applying to Scholarships <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QNL6v3TamZPBgPUVAVTlBnWCqKKjL4XXUArU1No…> Joseph Joseph Jay Williams www.josephjaywilliams.com Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto Intelligent Adaptive Interventions (IAI) research group

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

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

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.

[Tux] HCI Poster Showcase Tomorrow
by Tovi Grossman 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Dear TUX Community, Tomorrow there will be another HCI poster showcase (a similar event was held last semester) which I'd like to invite you to. This will be a presentation of posters that the students in the Human-Computer Interaction course I am teaching at U of T have prepared. The course is cross-listed as a fourth-year undergraduate / graduate course. For their final term project, they have been conducting a literature review and proposing new ideas on an HCI topic of choice. Tomorrow they will be presenting their findings in the format of a poster. The poster showcase will be held in the Autodesk space on the ground floor of the MaRS building. You are welcome to come by and see the posters and meet the undergraduate and graduate students that have been studying HCI at U of T this semester. Date: Thursday, March 28 Time: 2pm-4pm Location: Autodesk-MaRS Hope to see you there! Thanks, Tovi Tovi Grossman, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 40 St. George St, Toronto Toronto, Ontario M5S 2E4 Canada <http://www.cs.toronto.edu> www.cs.toronto.edu _______________________________________________ tux-announce mailing list tux-announce(a)dgp.toronto.edu https://www.dgp.toronto.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tux-announce
