Vis sketching workshop - next HCI meeting (June 5, 11:45-1PM)
by Nicole Sultanum 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hello folks, This upcoming Tuesday (June 5, 12-1PM, lunch at 11:45AM) Eris, Fanny and I are going to conduct a structured brainstorming/focus group session to help generate ideas for our Borrow-from-image Vis styling project. We will provide two images, a dataset, and ask you to create data visualizations borrowing elements from these images. Given our limited timeframe, we will start at 12 sharp. In the interest of sprouting early ideas and making the exercise even more effective, below follow links to the images and the dataset we are going to use on Tuesday. Think about them when you are in the shower, during your commute, or before sleeping — often referred to as some of the most creative moments in a person’s day :-D Images <https://www.dropbox.com/s/nir315kthgmaybt/images.pdf?dl=0> Data <https://www.dropbox.com/s/wa5gusw9wfwjljq/data-star-wars.pdf?dl=0> Also, we plan on taking pictures on the day, and will ask you to put your name on the designs so we can follow up later. And no, we do not have ethics (yet)… so let us know if you have any issues with that. Looking forward to your creative solutions, Nicole

HCI Reading Group "Yours is Better" 3PM Friday June 1 @ Crimson Teas
by Jacob Ritchie 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hello all, We continue our bi-weekly reading group this Friday, June 1st, at 3PM. (Note: an hour later than our usual time) We will be reading "Yours is better!": participant response bias in HCI by Nicola Dell et. al, which was presented at CHI 2012. >From the paper abstract: "We find that respondents are about 2.5x more likely to prefer a technological artifact they believe to be developed by the interviewer, even when the alternative is identical. When the interviewer is a foreign researcher requiring a translator, the bias towards the interviewer's artifact increases to 5x." PAPER: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2208589 Seongkook will "champion" the paper this week by reading the paper thoroughly and leading the discussion, highlighting why he thinks the work is important. The meeting will take place at Crimson Teas (415 Spadina Ave), which is a 5 min walk from Bahen. Daniel has generously offered to fund drinks and snacks for the meeting. Crimson Teas has delicious tea and the owner is very nice, so consider your perishing physical thirst in addition to your thirst for knowledge. Best, Jacob --- Jacob Ritchie M.Sc. Student, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto
