Many thanks to all those interested in our ongoing SMART funding opportunity – we will be able to confirm timings for the next round of applications next week.

From our #virtual reading group: State-of-the-art #LiDAR technology and a new #algorithm enable #3D reconstructions as far as 320m away in real-time! The algorithm can even #reconstruct targets behind semi-opaque surfaces like a #camouflage net. tiny.cc/o4oaqz

Before diving into the excellent BEM/FEM software for acoustic simulations like #BEMpp #Interactlab researchers have been building their own scripts for discovering the capabilities of specially designed #acoustic #metamaterials by outputting numerically determined sound fields.

From our virtual reading group: “super-oscillation” is a concept whereby #wave-packets can temporarily oscillate at frequencies much higher than their largest frequency component and thus resolve & manipulate subwavelength areas of space Nature Communications tinyurl.com/y7cao3x8

Check out the newest publication in Advanced Materials Technologies. We use individually tuned unit cells to show focusing of ultrasonic waves at different points in space as well as generation of sonic hologram images.tinyurl.com/y8x9e6qy

We also strongly encourage proposals that align with SIGCHI's commitment towards addressing racial and other systemic injustices. medium.com/sigchi/a-time-… #BLM

TableHop an interactive tabletop display made from stretchable spandex and actuated using transparent electrodes. Visuals are projected beneath the fabric and the electrodes provide #HapticFeedback to the fingertips of the users @acmsigchi #CHI2016 tinyurl.com/ybxubs88

This coming tuesday, there’ll be an online @sig_chi Smell, Taste, & Temperature symposium (stt20.plopes.org) with a very exciting line-up! It’s entirely free and open to the public 💐🍦❄️ The symposium is brought to you by the HCIntegration Lab at @uchicagocs @uchicago 1/5

In a spooky haunted house attraction, a visitor feels a ghostly hand touch his shoulder. This remote #hapticfeedback is being provided by #Interactlab Phased Array Transducers boards.

Really excited to announce my move to UCLIC with marianna obrist and Diego Martinez Plasencia to form one of the largest HCI research group in the world 😀. uclic.ucl.ac.uk/news-events-se…

Looking forward to a new exciting chapter of multisensory experience and interface research at UCLIC together with Sriram Subramanian and Diego Martinez Plasencia uclic.ucl.ac.uk/news-events-se…

#Schlieren optics can help to visualise invisible air pressure differences, including sound! Here is a neat little project on background oriented schlieren imaging used on a candle: calebkruse.com/10-projects/sc…

From our virtual reading group: #visual distortion is common in museums or events, but what about #auditory distortion? Here, we see how #training users can improve sound localization for error reduction to spot distorted #spatial sound sources. tinyurl.com/yajw52sw

With real time path generation and image projection, our #ParticleBasedDisplays could be used to generate a #hologram of each participant in a conference call, for the next level of #Remote #Interaction

Using #NeuralNetworks and #GeneticAlgorithms, #Interactlab researchers are exploring how to use #AcousticMetamaterials to #cloak an object from an incoming ultrasound wave. See how the “sound shadow” is reduced by the strategically placed blocks in the second image?

The deadline for these positions is August 16th; please share with job seekers in Human-Centered Computing. Thx

Everything ready for showcasing our work in #SoftRobotics #bioinspiration #haptics for bringing people closer and growing together at the #DiscoveryHub - Grow #BloomsburyFestival2023!
