Looking forward to presenting my first paper at ACM CHI Conference in just seven days time! Sceptical, speculative, or apathetic — wherever you stand on the machine #consciousness controversy, come see how many non-experts agree (or disagree!) with you... programs.sigchi.org/chi/2023/progr…

I had a fantastic week in Bremen visiting Digital Media Lab and @HCIBremen! Thank you all for being so welcoming and making this such a great visit! Now on my way to Hamburg with many fresh ideas and food for thought. Looking forward to another huge „dose of inspiration“ at #CHI2023!

Fantastic talk by Ava getting us to think about the implications of humans perceiving machines to be conscious. ACM CHI Conference #CHI2023 Do you mind? Should we mind as researchers, designers, and engineers in the field of HCI? Yes, we have to - for #LLMs, #GenAI and beyond.

The three „great dames“ of HCI launched the 6th(!) edition of their Interaction Design Book today with a bang - at the riverfront of the Elbe in Hamburg ACM CHI Conference #CHI2023! So many of you came - that we ran out of books in no time!

Great and „enlightening“ talk on dark patterns in social networking sites by @thmsmldnr at #CHI2023! The paper provides an important contribution to the field both regarding its methodology as well as its empirical findings.

If you have such a cool prototype you just have to continue demoing it I guess! 🚀 Thanks for showing it to us - it was really interesting to hear how it works! And thank you both Romain Nith and Pedro Lopes for taking part in the Interaction Design Book interviews! 🙏🏻

Personal development in VR: SelVReflect has been created by researchers to provide a space to reflect deeply on past challenges. Proof of concept and initial evaluation data from NadineWagener Leon Reicherts et al. #vr #research #vrforall #positivevr (doi.org/10.1145/354454…)

It was great to see Sam Altman, CEO OpenAI, in conversation with my PhD supervisor Yvonne Rogers, Margaret McCabe, and David Barber on the present and future challenges of #AI & #AGI. Yvonne sketched out how #HCI can help to design (Gen)AI tools that further augment human capabilities.

⏰ Less than two weeks until we kick-off our three-day summer school on #HCI for #wellbeing taking place @UniBremen 🚀 🔭 We are looking forward to an engaging and inspiring exchange of knowledge and ideas 💡 ☀️ wellbeing.hci.rocks ☀️

We are hosting the "From C-3PO to HAL: Opening The Discourse About The Dark Side of Multi-Modal Social Agents" workshop at #cui2023, which is looking at malicious design strategies, present and future design features and the design of social agents. digital-media-lab.uni-bremen.de/multimodaldark…

Had a great time at the Spaces+Interfaces Summer School last week! The talks and fellow participants were very inspiring. Something I really liked was that 1/4 of the participants were postdocs/faculty and were actively participating in the sessions. Thank you @HCIBremen ACM SIGCHI

3 days 44 participants 13 countries 3 keynotes 12 sessions 25 pots of coffee …that was our Spaces + Interfaces Summer School!🤩 Thank you to all participants who made this an incredible experience and most of all to my co-organisers NadineWagener Leon Reicherts Ava

Thanks alot for organising! You did a fantastic job 👏 It was great having you all here and discussing research with you! Looking forward to the second edition 😉!

new preprint from Ava: Lab studies show that metacognition guides cognitive offloading, e.g. reminder-setting. But does this also apply in real life? We did a diary study looking at people’s real-world plans psyarxiv.com/y46mq/

What do you think are the biggest challenges for #HCI?🔭 Where is the field going? 🧭 Want to hear what other members of the community think? Take a look at the videos we recorded this year at ACM CHI Conference for the 6th edition of the #interactiondesign book: id-book.com/sound-bites 💡

Wrote a blog with Leon Reicherts and Evropi Stefanidi for interactions. We formed some of our closest academic friendships at this writing retreat, and this blog is a tribute to it!! 💕🧑‍💻🍻 interactions.acm.org/blog/view/doin…

My final morning in Melbourne. Our paper at MobileHCI 2025 received an honourable mention! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. If you’re interested in how people can re-imagine and change both technologies and themselves, give it a read dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

Join us at CHI 2025 to explore how AI systems can be used as Tools for Thought as we reimage AI’s role in human thinking. Learn about new research, prototypes, and a workshop on designing AI that supports critical thinking, decision-making, and creativity: msft.it/6016qhMFs

Curious to learn more about some of the research we have been doing in the Tools for Thought team? 🧠💭🛠️ Then check out our latest blog post for a brief overview of our contributions at CHI 2025 💡✨👇 #CHI2025 #ToolsForThought #CognitiveAugmentation #HumanAIInteraction #HCI #AI
