Good morning #UIST2025! Right after the keynote, head to “Sydney” to see a new set of GUI widgets designed by/for creative professionals. No AI, but/and I’d promise it’s very good. Program: https://t.co/64j06u4ryi Paper: https://t.co/ZQIt4aLGaD Code/demo: https://t.co/u57B0lvWZv
Super excited that our paper, co-authored with @junkato, on parameter-tuning widgets for creative software has been accepted to #UIST2025. It’s my first academic paper ever, which makes it way more special. #tweeqjs

@_baku89 Published a project introduction page. I started my part-time employment at an anime company in 2018 and began publishing academic work in the anime field in 2021. Now, we have this five-year project. https://t.co/T8NFVmDIUR

As the name suggests, the project involves close collaboration with the anime industry, while also aiming to establish a theoretical foundation for malleable tools in content creation and to highlight the value of creator–developer co-creation.

Academic peer review has many problems, but when it works, it's so freaking cool. The best people in the world spending hours deeply critiquing your work! For free! A level of engagement very hard to find elsewhere.

It’s half intentional and half coincidence that my last first-authored paper was titled “with … Professionals” [ACM CHI ‘24], and now this one is “by/for Creative Professionals.” In-the-wild systems research is truly exciting. With professionals:
