My PhD thesis is online! It investigated how intelligent computer systems can become better collaborative partners by giving them the ability to infer the intentions of human partners through their eye gaze. https://t.co/Q2cOzOlGnA

@qiushi__zhou Congratulations Prof Zhou!

[Kasper Hornbæk @khornbaek]

I am seeking 1-2 PhD students and 1-2 postdocs to work on theory in HCI, say, how the field uses theory, how to make theories more impactful in HCI, and how to develop better technology w theory. DL is June 9th, see https://t.co/gu3rYOS8nZ and https://t.co/VsptVbJGzX. 🙏 🇩🇰🎓😃

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

Your h-index isn’t your legacy. Your students are.

Every late-night revision was worth this moment.

My grad students just owned the CHI stage. Badass.
I’m just here clapping in the background.

Folks, you rocked it!

Mentorship isn’t about shaping papers.
It’s about shaping people.

We built Purpose Mode when I interned @brave. The tool reduces users’ distraction on social media websites by suppressing dark patterns like infinite scroll.

Try Purpose Mode: https://t.co/GAwOcL82yI

Stay tuned for the upcoming TOCHI paper!

@StevenHouben Congrats @StevenHouben!

I will present our paper on scanpath prediction on user interfaces at #UIST2024.
Our model has the unique capability of producing personalized predictions when given a few user scanpath samples.

See the paper, video, and code:

At #UIST2024, I'm presenting two projects: 🎶〰️SonoHaptics and 🔊Auptimize!
We tackle perceptual challenges in XR interactions (gaze-based object selection & audio localization) through multisensory feedback - without relying on visual displays. 🧵

Despite development in mobile capabilities, most apps remain oblivious to user abilities. Check out our #MobileHCI2024 work, the Ability-Based Design Mobile Toolkit (ABD-MT), that enables developers to create apps that respond to users' situated abilities: https://t.co/e40E95ZzeO
