Heading to Hawaii early to catch some waves, then I'm excited to present some new VR cross-device computing work at #CHI2024! My schedule is open, let's meet up!

[Johann Wentzel @JohannWentzel]

🎉 New paper, conditionally accepted to #CHI2024!

Techniques that let you quickly peek between XR and desktop can make cross-reality workflows faster, more accurate, and more comfortable than fully switching. (🧵) Summary/preprint here: https://t.co/J2jYvysnsS

PocketView: Viewing information through the fabric of pockets

#UIST2021 research by Antony Albert Raj Irudayaraj, Rishav Agarwal, Nikhita Joshi @nikhitajoshi, Aakar Gupta, Omid Abari and Daniel Vogel is featured in today's ACM TechNews @acmTechNews!

[Waterloo Mathematics @WaterlooMath]

The new technology, which the @UWCheritonCS researchers are calling PocketView, uses LED lights to display basic information. It can function as a stand-alone piece of tech or could be incorporated into existing or next-generation smart devices.

[UWaterloo Exii Lab @ExiiUW]

Presenting at UIST tonight (9PM EST) and Thursday (1PM EST)! Great work everyone!

[Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science @UWCheritonCS]

All the information you need could be in your pocket.

HCI researchers Antony Albert Raj Irudayaraj, @nikhitajoshi, Rishav Agarwal, Aakar Gupta, Omid Abari and Daniel Vogel have created a through-fabric display called PocketView. Presented at @ACMUIST
