What a week at #CHI2025 in Yokohama! Loved reconnecting with friends and making new ones along the way! Also very grateful for the chance to present a paper based on my work at @niantic-labs.bsky.social, which received a Best Paper Honorable Mention 🌟

I got an email yesterday afternoon that my NSF SPRF Postdoctoral Fellowship was terminated. My grant focused on testing interventions to address online misinformation and I was 8 months into a two year appointment.

Super proud of our collaboration with academia on advancing inputs for XR receiving a recognition by @acm-sigchi.bsky.social. 🙌 @ejgonz.bsky.social, @kenpfeuffer.bsky.social, @hansgellersen.bsky.social, Hasti, Karan, Max, Andrea

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Ryo, Misha, David and myself are organizing a workshop at #CHI2025 on *Everyday AR through AI-in-the-Loop*. If you are interested in topics such as adaptive AR, AR+AI Agents, or task guidance, consider submitting. We are looking for 1-2 pagers! Deadline is Feb 15th. xr-and-ai.github.io/

I’m happy to share that I've joined the BIRD (Blended Interaction Research & Devices) lab at Google for a research internship! I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with such a remarkable team and to be mentored by Mar Gonzalez-Franco, Eric Gonzalez, and Harish Kulkarni! 🦜

Help with CHI Late Breaking Work program! We are looking for associate chairs (ACs). Not only is the LBW an excellent track for our community to show new work at CHI, but it is also an important step to train new ACs in our community: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #hci #CHI2025

As this platform grows, I thought I'd share a starter pack of #XR + #HCI researchers I've come across! This includes individuals exploring augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and related areas. Let me know if you would like to be added or have any recommendations! #VR #AR #MR

A brief intro to start populating my feed here. I'm Nels, a PhD candidate at UCL. I study collaboration in mixed reality and am currently particularly fascinated by the meaning and representation of spaces. I'm excited to see the #HCI community grow on this upcoming platform! More info: nels.dev
