Long associated with gaming\ , these sensors are making their way into our everyday ‘utility’ devices . For example\, think about the average smart phone: it likely contains a proximity sensor\, an accelerometer/orientation sensor\, an ambient li ght sensor\, a gyroscopic sensor\, and a moisture sensor. Cameras can re cognize head motion and facial gestures\; they can track body movements and compare them to motion models. \;\n \;\nAs these sensors beco me part of everyday interactive devices\, we are ushering in new forms o f gestural interaction\, which is changing how we interact with digital experiences and data\, and changing the nature of our computer-mediated communications. In this talk\, Elizabeth will offer some observations an d speculations on how the world of physical computing\, broadly construe d\, is changing the way in which we interact with our devices\, each oth er\, and interactive digital experiences. \;\n \;\nAbout the Spea ker \;\n \;\nDr. Elizabeth Churchill is a Principal Research Scie ntist and manager of the Internet Experiences group at Yahoo! Research. Originally a psychologist by training\, Elizabeth has focused throughout her career on understanding the ways in which people interact—whether t heir interactions are primarily face-to-face or are technologically medi ated. She has published within the areas of theoretical and applied psyc hology\, cognitive science\, human-computer interaction\, and computer-s upported cooperative work. Elizabeth has a BSc in Experimental Psycholog y and a MSc in Knowledge Based Systems\, both from the University of Sus sex\, and a PhD in Cognitive Science from the University of Cambridge. S he regularly teaches at the University of California\, Berkeley’s School of Information. In 2010\, she was recognized as a Distinguished Scienti st by the Association for Computing Machinery. She is the current Vice P resident of the Association of Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Inter est Group on Computer Human Interaction (SigCHI). \;\n\n\nTags: ux\, tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250461889 URL:http://www.chifoo.org SUMMARY:CHIFOO Presents: Missing the Point: The Expanding World of Gestur al Interaction $5 LOCATION:ISITE Design : 2030 NW Pettygrove Street\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
