Come on a tour of our #CHI2025 papers: where you can see me demonstrating our new four devices: a novel sensory substitution for the blind, an adaptive skill-acquisition with muscle stimulation, powering devices when you touch them, and PCB recycling! 1/5.

UIST is an amazing meeting of the minds in #HCI—big conference this year in Korea (record number of submissions I hear!), so I think it will be quite exciting! we all see how big CHI became but growth at #UIST2025 is more palpable—the first UISTs I went to were all single track!.

A reflection about our lab's participation at @acm_chi: It was a really special conference, with new PhD students presenting and some graduating!.P.s.: Yeah, I was a bit behind (we're closer to #CHI2026 deadline than #CHI2025 itself) but never too late?
