It's been an eventful few months for me as I became a parent (Niamh is 3 weeks old now!), but also because after a rather long wait on the reserve list, my @ERC_Research Starting Grant AUGSOC (https://t.co/8KBh55APhC) was selected just before xmas for funding (€1.5 million)!

Want to study human models for AI and interactive systems? We have a postdoc position open👇

[Rod Murray-Smith @MurraySmithRod]

A Ph.D. studentship with @jhnhw & myself @UofGlasgow in the ERC DIFAI project will look at developing “mediating mechanisms” as a way to link machine learning to HCI in tightly-coupled control loops. Deadline 14th Jan. https://t.co/QulSVw4lRU

Want to be trained in, and study, the collision between people and AI? We are now recruiting our second cohort of cross-disciplinary PhD researchers for our UKRI CDT in Citizen-Centred AI.

[Mark McGill @MarkHCI]

Several PhD scholarships available in @GlasgowCS @glasgow_gist around HCI, Animal-Computer Interaction, XR/Immersive and Ubiquitous Technologies, Social AI, starting in September 2025, application deadline of 31 January 2025. See https://t.co/hIwOtlsoHW for more details!

[Michael Nebeling @michinebeling]

I'm also interested in recruiting students interested in the Future of AR with a focus on multimodal perception, and applications to accessibility for AR/VR. I'm also interested coadvising students in technical HCI and would love to collaborate with my colleague @venkypotluri

[Jon Froehlich @jonfroehlich]

HCI systems papers need to tell visual stories. As we near the CHI deadline, here's a set of exemplary figures curated by my lab. Hope it helps inspire! Feel free to contribute some examples. https://t.co/Nyl7f04GOE

Its #CHI2024 week, which means you can catch the presentation by @crisfni of our excellently titled paper ⚡️"Pikachu would electrocute people who are misbehaving"⚡️on child safety in VR this Wed 11AM!

Check out the paper here: https://t.co/GUSlS8sq3n

encourage y'all to vote in #chi2024 elections -- and, consider voting for @aquigley & @burnettmmosu -- they've done so much over decades of service … back when I was advocating for PDF access and captioning, @aquigley was our CHI exec committee advocate

We're hiring 3 PhDs over the next year on my ERC STG / UKRI project #AUGSOC - focusing on the societal implications of mass adoption of everyday #augmentedreality. First round of applications due July 31st. Open to UK and EU citizens! https://t.co/QIDz3MN4uL #HCI #CHI2024

[Shaun Macdonald @ShaunMacdHCI]

Excited to give my talk on the 14th! If you are in or around Glasgow tickets are here: https://t.co/NHFVdpBx1V

[Mark McGill @MarkHCI]

...and all those beyond Glasgow that helped (@jgugenheimer, @leotanczt to name a few); the UK initiatives that helped me to build a track record and collaborative network, including @REPHRAIN1 and @SPRITEPlus; and finally @ERC_Research for continuing to fund such research!

…to enact information disorder, censorship, discrimination and manipulation). Ultimately AUGSOC will inform voluntary guidelines, legislation, and perceptual human rights to ensure society is resilient to, and prepared for, the mass adoption of everyday AR devices.

You can read a bit more about my ERC experience here ( https://t.co/RFZPYEWa9Z ), but in particular I want to thank all my colleagues in @MIG_Glasgow @glasgow_gist @GlasgowCS @UofGSciEng (in particular @SABrewster, the reason I'm still doing HCI research!)...

[Mark McGill @MarkHCI]

AUGSOC aims to understand how this capacity for perceptual mediation will be used both for social good (empowering individuals and communities to control how they are perceived) and social harm (violating user and bystander privacy, and perpetuating and amplifying our capacity…

[Mark McGill @MarkHCI]

We (Joseph O'Hagan, @grahamwhci, @MKhamisHCI) will be exploring the societal impact that mass adoption of everyday #augmentedreality (AR) glasses will have in facilitating the "Augmented Society" - a world where spatial computing and mediated perception become the norm.
