Happening tonight!

Presenting at UIST tonight (9PM EST) and Thursday (1PM EST)! Great work everyone!

The new technology, which the Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science researchers are calling PocketView, uses LED lights to display basic information. It can function as a stand-alone piece of tech or could be incorporated into existing or next-generation smart devices. x.com/UWaterlooNews/…

PocketView: Viewing information through the fabric of pockets #UIST2021 research by Antony Albert Raj Irudayaraj, Rishav Agarwal, Nikhita Joshi Nikhita Joshi, Aakar Gupta, Omid Abari and Daniel Vogel is featured in today's ACM TechNews ACM TechNews! technews.acm.org/archives.cfm?f…

I'm so excited to share the work that was started back when I was an undergrad at #UofT with Fanny Chevalier , Haijun Xia, and Daniel Wigdor. Come learn about our VR tool for design space exploration next week at #sui2021! dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…

We’re conducting a survey to understand writer comforts in synchronous shared-editing tools. Spend 15 mins & you’ll be entered into a draw for 1 of 10 Amazon gift cards ($35 CAD) Anyone 18+ w/experience using these tools w/others in English may participate tinyurl.com/yb86znsu

If you’re attending #SUI2021, be sure to check out “Attribute Spaces: Supporting Design Space Exploration in Virtual Reality” presented by UWaterloo Exii Lab student, Cheryl Lao! This Wednesday, November 10th, at 10:25 ET in the “3D User Interfaces and Collaboration” session! SUI2024 🐠

Great UWaterloo News article about @mtiontv startup co-founded by UWaterloo Exii Lab Waterloo HCI student J. J. Hartmann (who just recently defended his PhD, so I guess now my ex-student!) uwaterloo.ca/news/mathemati…

Excited to announce that our paper "Enhanced Videogame Livestreaming by Reconstructing an Interactive 3D Game View for Spectators" has been (conditionally) accepted to #CHI2022 🥳 w/ Daniel Vogel. Looking forward to talking more about this in person in New Orleans!

Congratulations to Cheryl Lao for receiving an Adobe Research Woman-in-Technology scholarship! 👏Read more about Cheryl’s incredible work here! 👇

📃 New paper! The first paper of my PhD and my first in the #a11y space, "Understanding How People with Limited Mobility Use Multi-Modal Input", has been accepted to #CHI2022! 🎉 Quick summary and preprint here: johannwentzel.ca/projects/msr-m… TL;DR explanation 🧵:

CTV Kitchener article and video segment about our Reality Labs at Meta #metaverse grant for Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) research at UWaterloo Exii Lab Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science! Featuring work led by @daekun_baekun with Nikhita Joshi kitchener.ctvnews.ca/blurring-the-l…

I'm presenting my work TODAY at 11:45AM CDT! If you're in-person, my talk is in room 394!

Our brand new ACM CSCW paper on Easter eggs in software (led by my PhD student Matthew Lakier) is already referenced by The Economist! economist.com/business/2022/…

Congratulations to Daekun Kim — this year’s recipient of the Jessie W.H. Zou Memorial Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research — for his work on VR depth perception and on extending mouse interactions from the desktop to the surrounding environment. cs.uwaterloo.ca/news/daekun-ki…

Our very own Daniel Vogel has been named a 2023 ACM Distinguished Member. He is among 52 individuals recognized internationally by ACM for their outstanding scientific contributions to computing. Congrats, Dan! Learn about his research and achievements: cs.uwaterloo.ca/news/daniel-vo…

🎉 New paper, conditionally accepted to #CHI2024! Techniques that let you quickly peek between XR and desktop can make cross-reality workflows faster, more accurate, and more comfortable than fully switching. (🧵) Summary/preprint here: johannwentzel.ca/projects/switc…

Heading to Hawaii early to catch some waves, then I'm excited to present some new VR cross-device computing work at #CHI2024! My schedule is open, let's meet up!

7 #chi2024 papers from my research group @exiiuw in Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science 🇨🇦! With 2 honourable mention awards 🏅 and a best paper too 🏆! With Yen-Ting (Allen) Yeh Antony Albert Raj Damien Masson Johann Wentzel Nikhita Joshi Saralin Zassman Mathew Lakier @cs_kaplan and more!

At #CHI2024 this year? Come to my talk! I'll be presenting in the session "Reality-Virtuality Continuum: Interaction and Collaboration", at 9AM Tuesday morning. x.com/JohannWentzel/…
