My students Dennis Wittchen and Nihar Sabnis both are presenting their papers tomorrow at CHI (Room G316, 9:00). Both papers received honorable mentions (top 5% of all papers). Very proud supervisor moment :-)

This photo is from 1994, when Russia, the US and the UK gave security assurances to Ukraine after they agreed to give up their nuclear weapons.
Nobody was surprised when Russia broke this treaty, but we might soon be reaching a point where the US will do the same.

You avoided the big question. "If Harris loses fairly, now or in 2028, will she try desperately to overthrow the Constitution to keep power and then deny the election result, attacking the foundations of American society & democracy?" No. Trump did. thedispatch.com/article/us-d…

None of this would have happened without the support of Hans-Peter Seidel and Jürgen Steimle, the guidance of amazing mentors: @khornbaek (PhD), Roel Vertegaal (Master's), and Ike Kamphof (Bachelor’s). And the broader support of the HCI community. Thank you all!

1/4 Three Sensorimotor Interaction (sensint.mpi-inf.mpg.de) papers at CHI this year! This year it's three systems contributions, building on last years Haptic Servos work. And Yuran Ding, my first year PhD student got her first Honorable Mention!#CHI2024 @SIC_Saar @sensintgroup
3/4 Next is vARitouch, a wearable tactile AR system that modifies one's perception of the material world. Great work by Gaby Vega @gavyvy_ dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36139…
#CHI2024 @SIC_Saar @sensintgroup
p.s. we need an acronym for tactile AR, any suggestions?
4/4 Finally Shaping Compliance explores how to push this type of illusion further, using epidermal electronics. A collaboration with the HCI Lab at Saarland Uni, lead by Arata Jingu and Jürgen Steimle #CHI2024 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36139……
