The future will be fine! a day at #mobileHCI2025 with young researchers boosted my optimism. Presentations and intense discussions on science, research, and life at the doctoral colloquium re-ensured me that the next generation is amazing and will bring us forward. @mobilehci.bsky.social

Deadline extension for our workshop on the Societal Effects of AI in Mobile Social Media, taking place at @mobilehci.bsky.social ! Submit your ideas or preliminary research by the 6th of July, and come to design with us the future of AI in social media platforms. www.hcilab.org/aiandsociety...

Kicking off IS-EUD in Munich with Lebkuchen and a lot of food for thought. 🙌🤓 #ISEUD2025 @is-eud-conf.bsky.social @mimuc.bsky.social

@bidt.bsky.social Kick-off at BIDT for a new set of projects on Human-ai co-creation. In our project we look into democratization of software development by co-creation of spezifications as intermediate representations for software. Thomas Weber, @svenmayer.bsky.social @mimuc.bsky.social

Matthias Schmidmaier presented his work on Empathic AI and how to support users. With his PETS scale (perceived-empathy-of-technology-scale.com) he now investigates how to improve the empathy of LLM-based conversational agents by understanding and proactively reacting to the user states.

After becoming a Doctor of Computer Science recently, @florianbe.bsky.social is off to new endeavors in research. Connecting communication science and human-computer interaction to foster social impact in a world where trust in general information, news, and journalism might be at its lowest.

We had an interesting discussion today in the Online Multimedia lecture, that I give together with Florian Alt at @mimuc.bsky.social . Are we as web developers, and the course that we teach, becoming superfluous with the rise of LLM tools?

Henrike Weingärtner is discussing her idea of how to shape the topic „digital legacies after death“ for her thesis. There are so many interesting questions and challenges! The focus is on what a „will“ constitutes in a digital space. @mimuc.bsky.social

Florian Lang shares research on accessibility for people with visual impairment for VR and AR. Not obvious and pretty difficult to give a broad range of people access to XR even with limited vision. @mimuc.bsky.social

Bettina Eska is working on supporting motor learning and reflection on motor activity. The focus is on learning and improving sports and anchored in motor learning theories (and hopefully applicable beyond sports). @mimuc.bsky.social

Francesco Chiossi is presenting ideas for a new take on the Midas Touch problem in XR. Looking at different aspects of the EEG signal there is hope to get the anticipation of an action. @mimuc.bsky.social

Julian Rasch in the final stretch of his PhD on communication, collaboration and intentions in XR. @mimuc.bsky.social

We live in a hybrid world - the digital and physical are intertwined. How can we create a positive user experiences in a hybrid world, how to design technologies for this? Sophia Sakel put more questions in this space forward and shared answers from her research. @mimuc.bsky.social

Visual impairment is very common - and with an aging society challenges are increase and there is still very little research. Jesse Grootjen summarizes his PhD research (which he currently writes up:) on how to detect and mitigate some of these issues. @mimuc.bsky.social

The LMU media informatics doctoral colloquium comes to an end with lots of inspirations and new ideas to go forward! Thanks to DFKI for hosting us. Discussing in depth with our researchers always makes me optimistic about the future - with regard to science and society :) @mimuc.bsky.social

Die LMU Medieninformatik lädt zu ihrem Tag der offenen Tür ein! Am 3. Februar von 18:00 bis 21:30 können Interessierte aus Forschung und Industrie, Studierende und Studieninteressierte, sowie Familie und Freunde bei uns vorbeikommen.

Start 2025 with MobileHCI 2025 submission deadlines in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt (Sept 8-11). 📅 First Deadlines (AoE): Full Papers: January 30, 2025 (Abstract) Workshops: March 15, 2025 Tutorials, Demos, LBW, DC, Panels: June 12, 2025 Submit: MobileHCI 2025 CFP Wishing you an innovative 2025! 🎉

#MUM24 in Stockholm was a great success! On Sunday we hosted a Workshop (physiohci.com/mum24ws/), Francesco Chiossi presented our paper (doi.org/10.1145/3701...), and @reganmandryk.bsky.social and @carlheath.se gave great keynotes. @mimuc.bsky.social
