Headed to #CHI2025? Don't miss honorable mention paper "The Many Tendrils of the Octopus Map" by Eduardo Puerta & Shani Spivak (co-first-authors) and Michael Correll @Birdbassador - a retrospective analysis of these visual manifestations of conspiratorial thinking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyqyTkog_yY

@ACM @chi #HCI #DataVisualization #Maps #Mapstodon

The "Computing within Limits" (LIMITS'2025) deadline is extended to April 30th, 2025 AOE. Submit those papers and spread the word!

LIMITS'2025 welcomes scholarship from a wide range of perspectives that engages with computing and its pressing ecological and social issues and crises including planetary boundaries. CfP:

I have an odd little side project (one of many ) that can probably be best described as a new type of environmental sensor.

That sort of thing doesn't really fit my usual range of #HCI conferences, though, except maybe if you frame it in the context of "citizen science" or "urban sensing"? Would anyone have an idea where to publish something like this? (Open access venues strongly preferred.)

Unpopular opinion: #HCI as a field is doing way too much unpaid legwork for Big Tech. I feel like at least half of #CHI papers are some variation of "$BIG_TECH_FEATURE considered harmful", and the best-case outcome is that someone at the company in question reads it and says "Oh, interesting point, you're right, have a cookie."

I think we should actually build _new_ things instead that are a) not harmful and b) not built on sand. But of course, this is harder.

New Study: A Lack of Intelligence, Not Training, May Be Why People Struggle With Computers

Training alone cannot bridge the digital divide. The findings suggest a fundamental rethink of interface design is needed, as complex systems inherently disadvantage those with different cognitive capabilities.

"... awkwardly designed interfaces have become a driver for the digital divide," says Oulasvirta.

I'm hiring a PhD student in Copenhagen, Denmark to do #HCI research on #privacy and #interoperability in messaging apps!

This is a fully funded 3-year position in the Copenhagen campus of Aalborg University. The student will join my project "mInt" (for "messaging interoperability" ;)) and will be co-supervised by me and @nielsvanberkel .

More info and application form here: https://www.stillinger.aau.dk/phd-stillinger/vis-stilling/vacancyId/1219575. Deadline is May 18.

Observation for #HCI / #CSCW: Rather than submitting to specific conferences, I should encourage the international students in my lab to submit to #TOCHI (etc.) so that they can *choose* any ACM presentation venue that works, even if it takes much longer to be accepted.

Huzzaah \o/ a topic I care deeply about, designing for, with and by people in sensitive or vulnerable context. I have been allowed to co-organize this workshop at the decennial (thats once every 10 years) #Aarhus2025 conference. its not a big conference but I am probably as close to a son of the Aarhus approach to #design and #HCI as one can be.

New publication alert! Excited to share that our paper, "It’s Not Always the Same Eye That Dominates: Effects of Viewing Angle, Handedness and Eye Movement in 3D," will be presented at CHI 2025!

We show that eye dominance isn’t fixed but varies with task and context—challenging common assumptions in vision science and XR research.
