Our Lab Demo has received the People’s Choice Best Demo Award at CHI 2023. We would like to thank everyone who stopped by to see our research and for the great conversations we had at CHI.

We will present our lab at CHI’23 in Hamburg with a Lab Demo in the Interactivity Session. Find more information here and here.

Members of our group are authors of 8 accepted CHI’23 main track papers (see on our Publications page). We are also happy to announce that our Lab Demo has been accepted for presentation at CHI’23 Interactivity.

Jürgen Steimle will be chairing the technical program of UIST’23 together with Nathalie Henry Riche from Microsoft Research. The deadlines for submission of main track papers are on March 30 (abstracts due), April 5 (papers due) and April 7 (videos due).
