We welcome our visitor Prof. Masahiko Inami from the University of Tokyo. He will give an invited talk on Dec 9, 15:00 on “Virtual Cyborg: Beyond Human Limits” in Bld E1.7, Room 001.

Our paper on Prototyping of Soft Devices with Interactive Bioplastics has been selected to receive a Best Paper Award at UIST 2022.

Adwait Sharma has successfully defended his dissertation today. Congratulations to Adwait for his strong work on Design and Recognition of Microgestures for Always-Available Input! The dissertation is available here.

We are co-organizing the 6th Summer School on Computational Interaction. It will take place next week in Saarbrücken! You can find more information on the summer school’s web page.

Our research on Skin Computing is presented in an article in the Communications of the ACM (April 2022 issue). You can find the article here: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3511668

At CHI’22 we will present two full papers: Print-a-sketch: a handheld printer for physical sketching of circuits and sensors on everyday surfaces (Narjes Pourjafarian, Marion Koelle, Fjolla Mjaku, Paul Strohmeier, Jürgen Steimle) Next steps in epidermal computing: opportunities and challenges for soft on-skin devices (Aditya Shekhar Nittala, Jürgen Steimle)

The TOCHI Special Issue on Digital Touch, guest-edited by Jürgen Steimle together with his colleagues Sara Price, Nadia Bianchi-Berthouze and Carey Jewitt, is now available online at the ACM Digital Library.

We welcome our three new postdoctoral team members: Alice Haynes is joining us from U Bristol, Ata Otaran from Queen Mary University of London and Martin Schmitz from TU Darmstadt.

We are very happy that our seminar Touch and Haptic Interfaces has received the “Best Beaver” Teaching Award in the category Best Seminar.

Aditya Nittala has successfully defended his dissertation. Congratulations! The full dissertation entitled “From Wearable Towards Epidermal Computing: Soft Wearable Devices for Rich Interaction on the Skin” will be made available online soon.
