Potential applicants: you do **not** need publications to apply. I know this is becoming the norm, but this is **not** how my lab works. You need to enjoy research. Proof: Many of my PhDs had no papers prior to applying and they are rocking it! All info:

@nytimes @ravenben @tengshanyuan What happens when you activate the jammer and talk to someone while surrounded by microphones? Those microphones capture noise rather than your voice, but you don't hear any jamming (it's ultrasonic). This means you speak freely but speech recognizers will fail to spy on you.

@nytimes @ravenben @tengshanyuan Here's how it works: The engineering behind it allows us to get an awesome jamming coverage by making it #wearable : (1) any small movement decreases the impact of the typical blind spots that ultrasonic jammers have; and, (2) it jams in many directions!

For younger HCI students (like myself) it's a pleasure to hit this wall, with the Rekimoto (& many others too) wall in place, we can do new things. Rather than stopping at our original idea, we can build on prior work and go further. It's more like the Rekimoto trampoline!

in 30min at #SIGGRAPH2021 my student @tengshanyuan is presenting touch & fold: a haptic device that allows you to touch virtual objects, but keep your fingerpads free to also touch real objects! Video: #haptics (w/ @romainnith @UChicagoCS @UChicagoPSD )

#UIST2023 researchers, we all know about demo stress, like chip shortage, soldering last minute, Bluetooth failures and all that, but this is a new one for us: **blackberry shortage** :P spent the morning hunting down blackberries for our Taste Retargeting demo by @jas_x_flowers

Wow. Really appreciated all the feedback we got during the #chi2023 interactivity session, this is why we love bringing demos to @acm_chi we love to hear your thoughts as you feel demos (I mean it's #haptics & that's as important as the paper!) Thanks everyone for your time! 1/2

in anticipation of #UIST2021 we did our @ACMUIST preview party, in which we watch all 30s previews + lightning talks. That was a lot of fun (it's also easier than @sigchi where we 1st need to curate a crowdsourced list!). Some (random & bad) photo moments 1/7 👇
