It was an honor to receive the ACM IMWUT Distinguished Paper Award for our work "RetroSphere: Self-Contained Passive 3D Controller Tracking for Augmented Reality" at @ubicomp #Ubicomp2023 last night. This work was done while I interned at @Google with David Kim and @DuRuofei.

"RetroSphere," inspired by @JohnnyChungLee's Wiimote hacks, utilizes low-cost stereo infrared trackers with colocated infrared LEDs to enable 6DoF tracking of a passive retroreflective stylus.

Hi @ubicomp attendees, let's crowdsource editing a Ubicomp notes together! @ACMUIST @acm_chi #Ubicomp2023 #HCI #AR #VR #XR #UIST #CHI https://t.co/Y0rhnCqklz

[Alessandro Montanari @a_montanari]

Join me on Monday, October 9 at the @earcomp workshop during @ubicomp to learn about our OmniBuds: the world's first earables designed to monitor all five vital signs. Workshop details here https://t.co/YSBFjmn4lL

[Ruofei Du @DuRuofei]

Video preview of Rapsai #CHI2023. See https://t.co/Be9l0zsYjT for the full-paper. It is an enormous collaboration of @Google Labs & @TensorFlow #TensorFlowJS teams Na Li, Jing Jin, & @michellercarney. We will be performing onsite demos @acm_chi. Looking forward to seeing you!

Research has found that plants make a noise when water-deprived or injured, which can be heard using microphones and ML. https://t.co/WaN7eMn9KX

@DuRuofei Thanks @DuRuofei!

[Alessandro Montanari @a_montanari]

Exciting news! Our latest paper on using PPG sensors on #earables for cuff-less #BloodPressure monitoring will be presented @ACMHotMobile today! Great work from @AnantaBalaji during his internship @BellLabs! Link: https://t.co/JgZC6soYn9

@ChulhongM @BellLabs Congrats @ChulhongM!

[Ananta Narayanan Balaji @AnantaBalaji]

@a_montanari Congratulations! @a_montanari

[Ananta Narayanan Balaji @AnantaBalaji]

Enjoyed presenting our research on Blood pressure sensing with earables at Bell Labs. Thanks to @a_montanari and @raswak for having me!

[Akhil Mathur @akhilmathurs]

Do you know that blood arrives earlier in the left ear than in the right ear? @AnantaBalaji @NUSingapore empirically validated this key physiological characteristic using in-ear PPGs, and developed a pipeline to accurately estimate blood pressure #hearables

[Ananta Narayanan Balaji @AnantaBalaji]

@a_montanari Thanks, @a_montanari. I too enjoyed every bit of time spent at Bell Labs during my internship.
