~90% of AI projects fail because a copy/paste of yesterday's innovation methods don't cut it today. Update your AI innovation tools & perspectives with us:
✨“New Techniques for Designing for AI”
💻Virtual workshop
📅Fri., Sept. 12
🕚11am-6pm EDT

[CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute @cmuhcii]

You’ll learn the reasons why most AI project fail. You'll leave with new tools (like the matchmaking technique to connect user needs with AI capabilities), new perspectives, and a clearer path to creating trustworthy AI that actually works - for users, teams, and for the world.

HCI PhD student @mollyn_paan & advisor @hciprof trained cameras in a standard AR/VR headset to recognize touches mimicking touchscreen gestures on skin areas like the arm and hand. The duo is also exploring opportunities with other applications & surfaces. #UIST2024 @SCSatCMU

[Carnegie Mellon University @CarnegieMellon]

Researchers in @cmuhcii are revolutionizing AR/VR interfaces at the tip of a finger – literally. ☝️

EgoTouch uses AI to turn your skin into a touch-sensitive control surface, making virtual reality more intuitive and immersive.
