Two of our contributions at ACM CHI 2019 were recognized with Honorable Mention awards: Like a Second Skin: Understanding How Epidermal Devices Affect Human Tactile Perception (Aditya Shekhar Nittala, Klaus Kruttwig, Jaeyeon Lee, Roland Bennewitz, Eduard Arzt and Jürgen Steimle)…

We’ll be presenting four full papers at CHI 2019: “Grasping Microgestures: Eliciting Single-hand Microgestures for Handheld Objects” (by Adwait Sharma, Joan Sol Roo, Jürgen Steimle) “LASEC: Instant Fabrication of Stretchable Circuits Using a Laser Cutter” (by Daniel Groeger and Jürgen…

Our paper “FingerInput: Capturing Expressive Single-Hand Thumb-to-Finger Microgestures” has received the Best Academic Paper Award at the 2018 ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces

We welcome our visiting researcher Konstantin Klamka from TU Dresden. Konstantin will give a talk this week on Friday at 13:00 in Bld E1.7, Room 0.08 entitled “Combining Modalities & Technologies for Creating Novel Interaction Techniques & Experiences”.

We are pleased to announce two invited talks on haptics: Friday, May 25, 2018, 10:15-11:45am, MPI for Informatics (E1.4), Room 019. Karon MacLean (University of British Columbia): Taking Haptic Design from Research to Practice and Christian Holz (Microsoft Research): Rich…

We have new openings with fully-funded positions for a post-doctoral fellow and a PhD researcher. You can find more information here.

Together with Kasper Hornbaek (U Copenhagen), David Kirsh (UC San Diego) and Joe Paradiso (MIT), we co-organize a Dagstuhl seminar “On-Body Interaction: Embodied Cognition Meets Sensor/Actuator Engineering to Design New Interfaces”. You can find more information here.

“Read my mind” is an interactive dress that uses modular paper electronics to create a personal and customisable audio-visual experience. The installation was nominated for the Hager Award and will be curated at the Academy of Fine Arts HBK Saar…

A class project from our Physical Computing lecture won a first prize in the Sensors 2017 Contest of the Instructables platform. The project was led by the students Ahmed Mujtaba Chang and Muhammad Habib. They have developed an interactive jacket…

Our new paper, published at IMWUT/UbiComp, presents a new fabrication technique to augment everyday objects of various materials with very thin sensors and displays. You can find more details here.
