Conferència Aaron Quigley (Universitat de St. Andrews): "Ubiquitous User Interfaces"

En el marc de l'assignatura User Centered Design  de 3r curs del Grau en Enginyeria Informàtica de l’EPS i emmarcat com a conferència del centre de recerca INSPIRES, s’ha organizat una xerrada internacional amb el professor Aaron Quigley de la Universitat de St. Andrews (Escòcia) el proper el dijous 17 de maig  a les 9:00h a la Sala de Graus de l'EPS:

Ubiquitous User Interfaces 

Abstract: 

Displays are all around us, on and around our body, fixed and mobile, bleeding into the very fabric of our day to day lives. Displays come in many forms such as smart watches, head-mounted displays or tablets and fixed, mobile, ambient and public displays. However, we know more about the displays connected to our devices than they know about us. Displays and the devices they are connected to are largely ignorant of the context in which they sit including knowing physiological, environmental and computational state. They don’t know about the physiological differences between people, the environments they are being used in, if they are being used by one or more persons.

In this talk we review a number of aspects of displays in terms of how we can model, measure, predict and adapt how people can use displays in a myriad of settings. With modeling we seek to represent the physiological differences between people and use the models to adapt and personalize designs, user interfaces. With measurement and prediction we seek to employ various computer vision and depth sensing techniques to better understand how displays are used. And with adaptation we aim to explore subtle techniques and means to support diverging input and output fidelities of display devices. This talk draws on a number of studies from work published in UIST, CHI, MobileHCI, IUI, AVI and UMAP.
