🪄✨ Unveiling the Enchanted Results of Our Magic Wand Competition! ✨🪄

The Intelligent User Interfaces course recently conjured up a spellbinding competition that brought the realms of magic and innovation to life. 🧙‍♀️🔮

Our students created unique magic wands using motion sensors, turning gestures into captivating spells. These enchanted wands also transformed the classic rock-paper-scissors game into thrilling gesture-based duels. 🪄🔮

Now, it's time to reveal the victors of our magical tournament. 🏆🌠

🥈 Second Place: Samuel Hergenröder, Hoang Thi John Nguyen, and Michelle Richter

🥇 First Place: Dennis Dirk Becker, Markus Ströhnisch, and Fabian van Lier

The poster session is about to start at CHI. Max Pascher is presenting his poster about communicating 3D directional cues using vibrotactile feedback.
ACM SIG CHI

👉

In Human-Computer-Interaction, vibrotactile haptic feedback offers the advantage of being independent of any visual perception of the environment. Most importantly, the user's field of view is not obscured by user interface elements, and the visual sense is not unnecessarily strained. This is especi...

Join the CHI talk of Alia Saad this afternoon on foot-based user identification using thermal imaging.
ACM SIG CHI

👉

We propose a novel method for seamlessly identifying users by combining thermal and visible feet features. While it is known that users’ feet have unique characteristics, these have so far been underutilized for biometric identification, as observing those features often requires the removal of sh...

Make sure not to miss the CHI talk of Max Pascher this afternoon on how to communicate robot motion intent.
ACM SIG CHI

👉

Robots are becoming increasingly omnipresent in our daily lives, supporting us and carrying out autonomous tasks. In Human-Robot Interaction, human actors benefit from understanding the robot's motion intent to avoid task failures and foster collaboration. Finding effective ways to communicate this....
