Abstract: In this talk, I will share highlights from the book and showcase examples of novel tangible and embodied systems developed in my lab that address real-world challenges related to the future of work and learning. These include interfaces designed to enhance creativity and collaboration in remote meetings and mobile environments. Building on this foundation, I will also discuss our more recent investigations into human\u2013AI co-creation<\/strong>, where generative AI is integrated into the tangible and embodied interaction design process to support ideation, reflection, and decision-making. <\/p>\n Finally, I will introduce new research methods we have developed to evaluate the impact of these systems on individuals and teams, including mixed-method studies that combine behavioral and physiological data, semantic analysis, participant reflection, and collaborative outcomes. Together, these threads outline a vision for designing interactive systems that are materially grounded, human-centered and socially aware.<\/p>\n Bio: When: Friday, October 24, 3:00 PM Where: Tyler 055 Abstract: For several decades, tangible and embodied interaction (TEI)\u2014human-computer interaction that engages our bodies and physical environment\u2014has been the topic of intense research.

\nFor several decades, tangible and embodied interaction (TEI)\u2014human-computer interaction that engages our bodies and physical environment\u2014has been the topic of intense research. My recent book Weaving Fire into Form: Aspirations for Tangible and Embodied Interaction<\/em> (Spring 2022, ACM Books), co-authored with Brygg Ullmer, Caroline Hummels, and Ali Mazalek, aims to provide a resource for teaching and research in this field. It investigates the conceptual foundations of TEI and sets aspirations for its future.<\/p>\n
