Spring 2019 Colloquia
Art, a Matter of Mind
Speaker: MC Flux
Tuesday, April 30, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
Abstract:听In our modern world of smartphone cameras and Instagram, our connection with art is often distilled down to a single digital picture smaller than our fist. But what do we lose by collapsing our multidimensional world into a tiny, flickering, 2D image? Even when we encounter individual works of art in a museum or gallery, the average time Americans spend looking at a work is between six and ten seconds. How, in our culture of increasing distraction, might we truly connect with the beauty around us? What drives our connection to art? What neural processes underlie our ability to slow down and reflect?听 How does this intricate interplay of mind and experience inform our aesthetic response?

Embracing the Unknown
Speaker: Martha Russo
Tuesday, April 23, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
Abstract:听All of my work is purposefully obscure. It is just out of the grasp of language and thus brings us back to our rudimentary way of collecting information, namely, through the senses and the body. Although my work is steeped in the ceramics鈥 process, it side steps the traditions of the earth-bound, fragile, and precious material. Rather, the installations embrace the precarious. They extend into space, hover in mid-air, barely hold on, pile up, and are sometimes on the verge of disappearing into dust. The chameleon-like properties of clay and, specifically, its tenuous nature speak to the immediacy and transient nature and fragility of life. Coupled with this quietness, the massive installations have a certain energy and force that further connect us to our roots and our origins. I want my works to get into your bones and guts, to touch on the raw, the visceral, the nerves; to murmur up through the body to make a time and place for contemplation and reflection about our basic biological humanness.

Laura and Mikhaila CHI Talks preview: HCI amusement and Software for Smart Textile
Tuesday, April 16, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
From HCI to HCI Amusement: Strategies for Engaging what New Technology Makes Old
Speakers: Laura Devendorf (presenting), Kristina Anderson, Daniela Rosner, Ron Wakkary, James Pierce
Abstract: Notions of what counts as a contribution to HCI continue to be contested as our field expands to accommodate perspectives from the arts and humanities. This paper aims to advance the position of the arts and further contribute to these debates by actively exploring what a "non-contribution" would look like in HCI. We do this by taking inspiration from Fluxus, a collective of artists in the 1950鈥檚 and 1960鈥檚 who actively challenged and reworked practices of fine arts institutions by producing radically accessible, ephemeral, and modest works of "art-amusement." We use Fluxus to develop three analogous forms of "HCI-amusements," each of which shed light on dominant practices and values within HCI by resisting to fit into its logics.

AdaCAD: Crafting Software for Smart Textiles Design
Speakers: Mikhaila Friske (presenting), Shanel Wu, Laura Devendorf
Abstract: Woven smart textiles are useful in creating flexible electronics because they integrate circuitry into the structure of the fabric itself. However, there do not yet exist tools that support the specific needs of smart textiles weavers. This paper describes the process and development of AdaCAD, an application for composing smart textile weave drafts. By augmenting traditional weaving drafts, AdaCAD allows weavers to design woven structures and circuitry in tandem and offers specific support for common smart textiles techniques. We describe these techniques, how our tool supports them alongside feedback from smart textiles weavers. We conclude with a reflection on smart textiles practice more broadly and suggest that the metaphor of coproduction can be fruitful in creating effective tools and envisioning future applications in this space.

How Do We Baby Proof "Smart" Homes?
Speaker: Tom Yeh
Tuesday, April 9, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
Abstract:听AI systems are now in millions of American families. Our children live and interact with them, sometimes spending hours at a time a day. Meanwhile,听 US colleges are projected to produce more than 400,000 computer science graduates by 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As they learn to design and develop AI, will they also learn to think about our children to make sure children are protected, supported, nurtured, respected, and treated fairly by the AI systems? Unlikely. How about children with different abilities, such as children who are blind or visually impaired (BVI)? Will their needs be considered? Even more unlikely. If nothing is changed, many future AI engineers will pursue only speed and accuracy and pay little or no attention to AI鈥檚 potential impacts on children. Already, alarming cases have been recently reported in press and literature where AI systems purposefully or inadvertently manipulate, belittle, mislead, endanger, or discriminate children . The societal cost of inaction can be enormous. How should we respond by involving researchers in AI, human-computer interaction (HCI), and child development (CD)? During the seminar, I would like to invite the audience to discuss the three interdisciplinary questions: (1) [AI+CD] How do interactions with AI affect the psychological development of young children?, (2) [HCI+CD] What design factors of an interactive AI system may mediate these effects?, and (3) [AI+HCI] How can AI incorporate these design factors at the algorithm and model levels?

Vigor of movement and economic utility: is movement a window to the mind?
Speaker: Alaa Ahmed
Tuesday, April 2, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
Abstract:听To understand subjective evaluation of an option, various disciplines have quantified the interaction between reward and effort during decision making, producing an estimate of economic utility, namely the subject 鈥榞oodness鈥 of an option. However, those same variables that affect the utility of an option also influence the vigor (speed) of movements towards that option. To better understand this, we have developed a mathematical framework demonstrating how utility can influence not only the choice of what to do, but also the speed of the movement follows. I will present results demonstrating that expectation of reward increases speed of saccadic eye and reaching movements, whereas expectation of effort expenditure decreases this speed. These results and others imply that vigor may serve as a new, real-time metric with which to quantify subjective utility, and that the control of movements may be an implicit reflection of the brain鈥檚 economic evaluation of the expected outcome.
Bio: Dr.听Ahmed's research focuses on understanding how the brain controls movement. She uses a neuroeconomic approach that combines techniques from neuroscience, economics, psychology and engineering to investigate the costs and constraints underlying human sensorimotor decision-making, learning, and control.

ShapeBots and Roomshift
Speaker: Ryo Suzuki
Tuesday, March 19, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
ShapeBots: Shape-changing Swarm Robots for Collective and Individual Shape Transformation
Abstract: Swarm user interfaces have attracted much attention in HCI due to its unique capability of distributed and ubiquitous shape transformation. However, its homogeneous form factor of each swarm limits the range of interactions, expressions, and affordances of swarm UIs. To address this, we propose Shape-changing Swarm Robots, a new approach to distributed shape-changing interfaces that can change their shapes both collectively and individually 鈥 each swarm can individually transform its shape, while having a capability to move and collectively make a shape with many swarms. In this paper, we first explore the design space of self- and collective- shape transformation enabled by line-based shape changing swarm robots, and then demonstrate this idea by introducing ShapeBots, a proof-of-concept prototype of shape-changing swarm robots with a novel miniature reel-based linear actuator. Our actuator only has 1 cm thickness while it can extend to 20 cm, which enables a swarm of miniature robots to transform into large shapes. We demonstrate a set of application scenarios enabled by ShapeBots, including line-based swarm drawing and distributed 2.5D shape displays.
RoomShift: Reconfigurable Spatial Environments through Room-scale Dynamic Swarm Construction
Abstract: This paper introduces RoomShift, a room-scale shape-changing interface through dynamic swarm construction. Traditional shape-changing interfaces mostly focus on interactions at the scale of human hands, leaving larger-scale shape changing underexamined. In this work, we propose dynamic swarm construction, a class of systems which leverages a wheel-based robot to reconfigure itself or construct adaptive environments. We used 10 wheel-based robots (e.g., Roomba) that can dynamically move, transform, and construct spatial elements, such as walls, stairs, furniture, floor, and pillar. These robots can support two reconfigurations: 1) actuating existing objects e.g., chair and table and rearrange them, 2) transform its shape to dynamic and temporal building elements e.g., walls, pillars. Due to its distributed, scalable, and ubiquitous shape-changing capability, we demonstrate this configuration can provide a variety of spatial user interactions. We explore three possible application scenarios, including room-scale haptic interfaces for VR/AR, prototyping spatial layouts for architects, and adaptive dynamic furniture. We evaluate these applications through user evaluation. Finally, we outline a design space of dynamic swarm construction and discuss interaction possibility towards Human-Architecture Interaction.

Supporting Spatial Thinking Skills in Novice 3D Modelers through 3D Modeling and Augmented Reality
Speaker: Srinjita Bhaduri
Tuesday, March 12, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
Abstract: Learning 3-Dimensional (3D) solid modeling using Computer Aided Design (CAD) softwares can be a challenge, requiring the user to have a good spatial understanding of 3D space and have the ability to adapt to a new environment where their existing skills and knowledge might not apply. This makes both teaching and learning 3D modeling difficult. Moreover, learning 3D modeling can help enhance spatial thinking skills, which plays a critical role in achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Spatial thinking skills can be enhanced by training, life experience, and practice. However, 3D modeling alone is not sufficient as a platform for rich 3D experience since 3D models are totally isolated from the actual 3D physical world. To address this challenge, I propose the idea of making 3D modeling approachable for users with varying levels of expertise by introducing different methods of 3D modeling. In my talk, I will provide initial results of using Augmented Reality as a scaffold for learning 3D modeling and as a 3D model debugger that can be used by novice users mostly focusing on middle and high school students.
Bio: I am a third year Ph.D. student in听and听Cognitive Science at听. I am advised by听Dr. Tamara Sumner听who leads the Sumner Lab (earlier known as听Digital Learning Sciences).

Digital Sketching: Computer-aided Conceptual Design
Speaker: John Baccus
Tuesday, February 26, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
Abstract: The practice of conceptual design in architecture and industrial design has received relatively less attention from the rising tide of computer-aided design (CAD) technology than those of documentation and simulation. And yet, every design project must pass through a conceptual design phase before it can advance into more detailed stages to follow. Questions like 鈥...what should we build?鈥 and 鈥...for whom are we building?鈥 are quickly passed over in a desire to more efficiently reach the detailed phases that follow. It is undoubtedly the case that traditional computing technology is well suited to handling detailed design and automating it with increasing degrees of fidelity. But humans are still better at doing conceptual design than machines are, and it doesn鈥檛 take much observation to reveal this. Most architects who care about design are still drawing by hand, on paper, at the beginning of their projects. And most car bodies are still styled by hand in clay. Let's talk about why this is the case and what sort of computational tools might help designers bridge into trusted systems for "computer-aided conceptual design."

Why can't programming be like sketching?
Speaker: Clayton Lewis
Tuesday, February 12, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
Abstract:听At a joint meeting of the Psychology of Programming Interest Group and the Art Workers Guild (London, September 5-7, 2018),听 Charlie Gere asked, why can鈥檛 programming be like sketching? The ambiance of the meeting included testimonies from Guild members that cast computing, and programming, as repellent, in the literal sense, an activity that people would like to avoid, even it if it is useful. 鈥淪ketching鈥 in the question stands for another kind of activity, lacking these repellent qualities, and having the attractive qualities of enjoyable expression. Can programming be like that?听

Earable Computers : Ear-worn Systems for Healthcare, HCI, BCI, and Brain Stimulations
Speaker: Tam Vu
Tuesday, January 29, 11:30am - 12:30pm MT
Abstract:听This talk introduces the concept of "Earable computers", small computing and actuating devices that are worn inside, behind, around, or on user's ears. Earable sensing and actuation are motivated from the fact that human ears are relatively close to the sources of many important physiological signals such as the brain, eyes, facial muscles, heart, core body temperature, and more. Therefore, placing the sensors and stimulators inside the ear canals or behind the ears could enable a wide range of applications from human computer interaction, health care, attention/focus monitoring, and opioid use reduction, just to name a few. Drawing the analogy from the evolutions of mobile systems and wearable systems, in this talk, I will discuss the opportunities that earable system could bring. I will share our experience and lessons learnt through realizing such earable systems in the context of human computer interaction, brain computer interaction, and healthcare.听 I will also elaborate the software, hardware, and practical challenges of earable systems.
