In a world with many “smart” devices, we need better tools to let us be in control of them.

@raynez and team built one such tool that enables, say, parents, to create ✨immersive stories ✨ that leverage smart speakers, lights, thermostats, fans, and other digitally connected devices, in addition to traditional pixels on a screen.

Check out Lei's presentation on the future of storytelling and #augmentedreality at #chi2024 today at 2pm in room 306 (in 30 min!)

@cfiesler the most surprising thing for me is how sticky the product is for so many people who would continue using it no matter what

If you are interested in presenting "work in progress" that intersects computing and society, consider submitting a talk to ACM SIGCAS Works In Progress (WIP). These are online discussions where you can present your work, discuss it with the SIGCAS community, and gain insightful feedback.

To submit a talk, complete the following form: https://forms.gle/N7tuc5e4ELhGLLiSA

We encourage researchers, professionals, and students to participate!

@bkeegan did you just give As to everyone so you are not bothered? 😄

I feel like people who unequivocally hate bagpipes have never listened to Afro Celt Sound System or the Peatbog Faeries.

@ryanstraight thanks for the recs! the peatbog faeries is great!

I was recently accepted to my first graduate symposium! I'm wildly excited to meet up-and-coming scholars from other universities and learn about their work.

@mdb which symposium is that? Congrats!

I hate the term "data analytics." By definition, analytics have to be about data. Otherwise what are you analyzing? Vibes?

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@bwaber ditto “data science.” Although I guess theoretical physics might not need data.

Three of them were led by Master students from our course! 🚀

i'm like 10 years late to this party but just got an apple watch, been having issues with things on phone and watch interfering. e.g., if Siri is on in both then when i say Siri sometimes one responds and the other; also, notifications get messed up between phone and watch, sometimes goes on one, sometimes on both, etc.; not sure what the best mental model is for using this all properly

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@pg the Apple Watch is such a great idea but poor execution. Siri is useless. Notifications are ok but you have to disable most of them otherwise it gets annoying. Find my phone and 2FA are the most useful feature. Also receiving calls when phone is lost. Oh also making the screen all white when you need a light is helpful if you don’t have your phone.

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@chrisamaphone @pg I’m still sticking around with the Apple Watch. When I worked at MSR I learned it’s always best to embrace whatever ecosystem I’m in 🤷. If I had an Android phone I would switch to an Android Watch.

@pg @chrisamaphone haha I did love the aesthetics of windows phone OS. Metro design was perfect on the phone.

@bwaber woah! Every time I return to Boston, I’m surprised at how different Kendall Sq is. My first apartment there was 259 Broadway, and it was such a desolate area.

@natematias @bwaber, what's the most exciting option now? Last time I was there, I tried Tatte, and it was pretty good!

apparently some people in my hometown on facebook are mad about the school having received two electric school buses for free. this is why i'm not on facebook anymore.

hi! i will be presenting this work at next week.

i'm also pleased to share that i will be joining the faculty at
CU Boulder Information Science in 2025, and intend to recruit students soon.

please get in touch if you'd like to chat at the conference. thanks!

Most online communities fail really quickly, never getting more than a few contributors.

What role do community founders have in which communities grow?

In this blog post, I summarize research that @skairam
and I did surveying Reddit founders.

@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@jeremy @skairam that reminds me that i created the r/amtrak subreddit and didn’t pay attention to it for years but when I checked it had grown a lot! I did assign others as mods who did a good job growing it

@julian @davidthewid oh I didn’t know about the game! The few screenshots I found look a bit like winter in the island. But I also saw some abandoned factories, which as far as I know don’t exist. Here are some photos from a hike i took today

Awesome reporting by @julesaroscoe from @404mediaco on Putin forking the Russian @wikipedia into a state-sponsored version cleaned of any inconvenient facts. https://www.404media.co/russia-clones-wikipedia-censors-it-bans-original/

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@bkeegan @julesaroscoe @404mediaco @wikipedia at least it wasn’t the actual Russian language Wikipedia, like it happened with the Croatian one when it was taken over by far right editors

@bkeegan @julesaroscoe @mako @katestarbird yeah I learned about this at mako’s talk in CITP 👌🏽

🚀 Recently, an extension of our GEAR paper was published:

"Gaze-enabled activity recognition for augmented reality feedback"
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cag.2024.103909

In this extended version, we added feedback to the gaze-enabled so that users get helpful assistance after their current activity was recognized.

Our code and the gaze data are available here: https://github.com/Interactions-HSG/GEAR

@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@jannis I haven’t tried others actually! I used the Magic Leap but it didn’t have gaze tracking
