#CHI2025 Current and past group photos with me, my students, and my advisor. See you all again in Barcelona for #CHI2026 @heyyoungsoul @keiichi_ihara01 @nandizhang_ @_seanliu @MehradFaridan @JarinThundathil @open_origin @ranzhoubot @dleithinger

Among many reasons, missing @nandizhang_ 's talk is a big one why I feel sad not attending CHI. We ask an interesting question: life seems much easier with AI instructions (especially in-situ in AR), are they actually making us smarter or dumber, how to encourage people to learn?

I’m presenting it on Tuesday 11:58 am-12:10 pm in the XR Experience session. Let’s chat about overreliance on AI and what kind of digital reality we want to build for humans!

Thanks to my wonderful advisors @YukangYan and @ryosuzk! I enjoyed every phase of this project and grew through it with a more mature perspective as an HCI researcher.

🤔AR can understand our environment and guide us through novel tasks—but is the convenience worth becoming the passive executor of AI instructions? In our #CHI2025 paper, we investigate how reflective prompts can deepen task understanding. doi: https://t.co/AAdWYkJcC0

New work: Protecting Human Cognition in the Age of AI, with @singhanj13 @krntneja @KlaraGuan We claim that overreliance on GenAI models disrupt traditional learning pathways. We suggest best practices for better teaching, testing, and learning tools to restore these paths:

I am on the job market, seeking tenure-track or industry research positions starting in 2025. My research combines human-computer interaction and robotics—please visit https://t.co/POmSPUd2H9 for updated publications and CV. Feel free to reach out if interested. RT appreciated!

The sense of touch is innately private, but what if it could be shared across individuals? We @StanfordVR studied shared body sensations in VR and found it increases body illusion and empathy toward others and influences social behavior. #ISMAR2024 🔗 https://t.co/NfPdqOuIB5

Thrilled to receive the People’s Choice Honorable Mention for TorqueCapsules demo! We’ve exhibited it at museums, science festivals, art exhibits—and people loved it! So proud of the love and excitement we’ve gotten, and grateful the UIST community values it too! #UIST2024

Everyone at UIST is just too cool!! Love it. Thank @ryosuzk for sending me to conferences that I don’t have presentations in 🥺🥺❤️ Wish to meet all of you in Yokohama next year!

Thank you so much to the #UIST2024 community for recognizing our $1 gesture recognizer work from 2007 with the Lasting Impact Award! Very honored and flattered… Andy Wilson, @yangli169 @uwdub @uw_ischool @uwcse

Can a smartwatch move your fingers? In our #UIST2024 paper with 🎖️honorable mention award, we engineered the smartwatch that can actuate your fingers & render force via electrical muscle stimulation. See full video: https://t.co/spAzDF5CQg I hope you could catch Aki's

What if paper abstracts weren’t just static summaries? In our #UIST2024 paper, we present Qlarify, a mixed-initiative system built on a lightweight interaction technique that expands abstracts with details from the full text—empowering scholars to dive deeper, faster.

📢 Join us today, Wednesday, Oct 16, for the ACM UIST 2024 Closing Keynote: Test of Time Award! 🎉 Hear from Wobbrock, Wilson, and Li as they discuss “Gestures without Libraries, Toolkits or Training: A $1 Recognizer for User Interface Prototypes” from the 2007 symposium.

Imagine a world where earbuds don’t need charging — this is the vision of our research, Power-over-Skin

Proud advisor time! @XiaohangTang just gave his first #uist presentation on the topic of supporting instructors to manage/interpret in-class students collaborative coding exercises. #UIST2024

Excited to present our paper at #UIST2024 tomorrow in the "AI as Copilot" session (4:10 PM) I'll be discussing how breaking down data analysis tasks into *editable*, *progressively revealed* steps can enhance control over AI and improve verification. 📜 https://t.co/eik9H1hkMK

2 papers accepted at #UIST2024!🎉 The 1st paper, XR-Oʙᴊᴇᴄᴛs w/@GoogleARVR, introduces 🪄Augmented Object Intelligence, an interaction paradigm blurring the lines between digital & physical by equipping real-world objects with the ability to interact as if they were digital:

#UIST2024 How to effectively manage peer instruction sessions for coding exercises in large classrooms? 🤔 One way is recommending smart trackers and notifications that alert instructors to critical students' behaviors. VizGroup, led by @XiaohangTang, along with @samwong627
