Happy to announce 2 #CHI2024 papers from UWaterloo Exii Lab, Waterloo HCI, & Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science! First, Daniel Vogel & I show that a text highlight constraint limiting how many words can be highlighted in a document reader can improve reading comprehension. ⭐️📃 Details here: nikhitajoshi.ca/constrained-hi…

Videos are fun to watch, but editing them ourselves can be challenging! Next week at ACM IUI 2026 '24, I will be presenting #LAVE, a video editing tool that integrates an LLM agent to collaborate with users, exploring the future of agent-assisted content editing.

Fantastic talk by Carolina Parada Carolina Parada from Google Deepmind on using LLMs to control and teach robots. LLMs seem to be the hammer we’ve been looking for in personal robotics. The HRI Conference

Our HCI@Bath group at University of Bath (ranked 🇬🇧 top 5) is searching for a rockstar Lecturer/Assistant Professor with interests in AR/VR, fabrication, interaction techniques, wearables, BCI, AI/ML🎉 ⏰Deadline: April 5th 💼Apply here: bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.a… #HCI #CHI2024 #UIST2024

Through a weeklong, immersive program at U of T Department of Computer Science’s Dynamic Graphics Project lab, high school students got to know more about graduate school and what it’s like to be a computer science researcher. uoft.me/al-

How do we get robots to efficiently explore diverse scenes and answer realistic questions? e.g., is the dishwasher in the kitchen open❓ 👇Explore until Confident — know where to explore (with VLMs) and when to stop exploring (with guarantees) explore-eqa.github.io

✨ Introducing Keypoint Action Tokens. 🤖 We translate visual observations and robot actions into a "language" that off-the-shelf LLMs can ingest and output. This transforms LLMs into *in-context, low-level imitation learning machines*. 🚀 Let me explain. 👇🧵

📢📢📢 A pulse of light takes ~3ns to pass through a Coke bottle—100 million times less than it takes you to blink. Our work lets you fly around this 3D scene at the speed of light, revealing propagating wavefronts of light that are invisible to the naked eye—from any viewpoint!

What’s the future of #HCI + #AI innovation? I believe it’s bright! Had some fun writing this article on drawing parallels with the world of mixed martial arts 💪👊 x.com/ToviGrossman/s…

💼 I'm on the job market for tenure-track faculty positions or industry research scientist roles, focusing on HCI, Human-AI interaction, Creativity Support, and Educational Technology. Please reach out if hiring or aware of relevant opportunities! RT appreciated! 🧵 (1/n)

I'm on the job market👀seeking TT-faculty and post-doc positions starting Fall 2025 to continue my research in family-centered design of socially interactive systems👀 I wrote a "blog" announcing this & my reflections on our latest RO-MAN'24 publication: linkedin.com/posts/bengisuc…

Collect robot demos from anywhere through AR! Excited to introduce 🎯DART, Dexterous AR Teleoperation interface enabling anyone to teleoperate robots in cloud-hosted simulation. With DART, anyone can collect robot demos anywhere, anytime, for multiple robots and tasks in one

Congrats to Karthik Mahadevan (and amazing co-authors!) on the Best Paper Award at #HRI2025 for "ImageInThat: Manipulating Images to Convey User Instructions to Robots." The paper proposes direct manipulation of images as a new paradigm to instruct robots. 🔗 karthikmahadevan.ca/files/hri25-11…
