Jogging at CHI’22

“Jogging at CHI” is running hybrid this year: we invite you to our joint remote and local run on Thursday, 7th May, 7am (New Orleans time (CDT)) – 2pm (Central Europe (CEST)) – 10pm (Australia (AET)). You jog (cycle, row, …) wherever you are (if you are in New Orleans, we physically meet at the “start” of the convention center up towards Canal street), we’ll go for about 30-45min, all levels catered for, and we’ll chat together about SportsHCI (all while jogging!) anywhere on earth via Discord: https://discord.gg/qJr7pyjm

Everyone welcome to join!

We are hiring!

We are looking for an HCI/Games/Play lecturer. Lecturers in Australia are ongoing positions, like having tenure in other countries, and are targeted for a career path after a PhD towards becoming a professor. The equivalent in other countries is that of an assistant/associate professor, but we also consider more experienced academics (senior lecturer). Please contact us if you have any questions, a website portfolio of designed systems and publications at CHI, CHI PLAY, etc. really helps. (Monash is 10th place of all institutions worldwide in terms of full papers at CHI’22). Details are here.

Tall Poppy Award

Today, 26 Oct 2021, Floyd receives the Tall Poppy Award: The award was “created in 1998 by the Australian Institute of Policy and Science (AIPS) to recognise and celebrate Australian intellectual and scientific excellence”. “Cutting down the tall poppy” is a cultural term in Australia to describe those who deliberately put down another for their success and achievements, due to one’s own insecurities. To address this, the Tall Poppy Award aims to “encourage younger Australians to follow in the footsteps of our outstanding achievers […] aiming towards building a more publicly engaged scientific leadership in Australia.”

The livestream is on at 6pm, Melbourne time.

Dr Zhuying Li

Zhuying has received her PhD, congratulations!

Her dissertation is called: Understanding the Design of Ingestible Play

Abstract: Digital games that engage people with their bodies can not only facilitate health and wellbeing, but also help players get to know their bodies better. However, how games can engage people with the inside of their body, such as their intestines, is relatively unknown. This thesis introduces ingestible sensors – sensors that can be swallowed – to design “ingestible play” and presents a framework to guide designers when creating games that engage people with their interior body. This work advances human-computer interaction research by including the interior body, contributing to a more playful and humanised technology future.

The PDF is available here and also in a higher-res version in the Monash dissertation repository.

BCI Talk

Nathan collaborated with UK artist Rod Dickinson and will present the result as part of the event “Decoding Humans” “The Quantification of Emotions” on Thursday morning, 2:00am – 3:00am (essentially Wednesday night), Melbourne time. This is part of the Downloadable Brain series, a series of artistic presentations published by Cognitive Sensations exploring the relationship between technology and the brain. 

The work is called “Machine_in_the_middle”, a play on the idea of a “man-in-the-middle” attack, in which the emotions of the victim are extracted via a brain-computer interface (BCI) and animated onto their face through electrical muscle stimulation for all to see.
