Published today in IJHCS: we find that multi fractal patterns in keystroke timings can serve as a marker of fatigue. This points to opportunities for unobtrusive, cheap, privacy conserving monitoring of fatigue, and the timing of effective interventions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A blog post from my PhD student Tegan Roberts Morgan about her recent work on how understanding sensory metaphors can help us design technologies to support positive interactions between young and old. blogs.ed.ac.uk/smartsense/c...

Accepted at IJHCS today Multifractality in Typing as a Marker of Fatigue Multifractal variation carries information about behavioural coordination, while fatigue is known to undermine coordination. We investigated whether multifractal patterns in typing correlate with fatigue osf.io/preprints/ps...

Also on the agenda yesterday was a talk and practical tutorial on 3D computer aided design, presented by @oliverchild.bsky.social of @bristolhci.bsky.social and John Vidler of @lancasteruni.bsky.social #pro2summerschool2025 #CAD

Also from @bristolhci.bsky.social, @jackjburnett.bsky.social spoke about his work on designing accessible video game controllers for people with disabilities. #pro2summerschool2025 #assistivetech

#AI for #health like a "crowbar out of our collective hands." Fab BIG TALK yesterday by Kevin Doherty. Postnatal mental health, primary care & serious mental health & looking to the future of AI for health were almost as thought provoking as the quote from the Black Eyed Peas!

Thermal experiences can be surprisingly rich, complex, and connected to emotions. How to introduce thermal cues into your projects? How can we design for this using multisensory technologies? In our new #TEI2025 Pictorial we explain how Chinese Ci poetry has some answers! 🧵 osf.io/62pqa

Now that everyone has found their way over here, I'm going to resurrect this paper by @blackcorvid.bsky.social from earlier in the year. What can Chinese Classical Poetry tell us about design for tangibles, XR, VR? Loads, it turns out.

Lovely to have Ding "back" in Bristol for a bit, and what an interesting talk!

Fascinating talk from the ‘factory floor’ of #dataannotation. Ding Wang from Google AI revealed the human labour behind the curtain of #AI, advocating for annotator as partner/expert - annotation is social! Qual folks in attendance particularly liked the slip replacing “qualitative” with “quality”!

Today! Still room for sign-ups
