Challenges of Interaction Design for
Clothes Fitting Room Technologies.
This paper uncovers issues in the design of camera-based technologies
to support retail shopping in a physical store, specifically clothes shopping.
An emerging class of technology is targeting the enhancement of retail shopping,
including the trying on of clothing. Designing such systems requires careful
considerations of physical and electronic design, as well as concerns about
user privacy. We explore the entire design cycle using a technology concept
called the Responsive Mirror through its conception, prototyping and evaluation.
The Responsive Mirror is an implicitly controlled video technology for
clothes fitting rooms that allows a shopper to directly compare a currently worn
garment with images from the previously worn garment. The orientation of images
from past trials is matched to the shopper’s pose as he moves. To explore
the tension between privacy and publicity, the system also allows comparison to
clothes that other people in the shoppers’ social network are wearing. A user
study elicited a number of design tradeoffs regarding privacy, adoption, benefits
to shoppers and merchants and user behaviors in fitting rooms.
On the Anonymity of Home/Work Location Pairsbo begole
Many applications benet from user location data, but lo-
cation data raises privacy concerns. Anonymization can protect privacy,
but identities can sometimes be inferred from supposedly anonymous
data. This paper studies a new attack on the anonymity of location data.
We show that if the approximate locations of an individual's home and
workplace can both be deduced from a location trace, then the median
size of the individual's anonymity set in the U.S. working population is
1, 21 and 34,980, for locations known at the granularity of a census block,
census track and county respectively. The location data of people who
live and work in dierent regions can be re-identied even more easily.
Our results show that the threat of re-identication for location data is
much greater when the individual's home and work locations can both
be deduced from the data. To preserve anonymity, we oer guidance for
obfuscating location traces before they are disclosed.
Activity-Based Serendipitous Recommendations with the Magitti Mobile Leisure ...bo begole
This paper presents a context-aware mobile recommender system, codenamed Magitti. Magitti is unique in that it infers user activity from context and patterns of user behavior and, without its user having to issue a query, automatically generates recommendations for content matching. Extensive field studies of leisure time practices in an urban setting (Tokyo) motivated the idea, shaped the details of its design and provided data describing typical behavior patterns. The paper describes the fieldwork, user interface, system components and functionality, and an evaluation of the Magitti prototype.
Ubiquitous Media Design Workshop, IXDC 2014bo begole
All visions of the future contain images of pervasive screens throughout the lives of users: Days Made of Glass, Minority Report, Blade Runner, even Apple’s Knowledge Navigator of 1987. Research centers are creating technologies for autoscopic 3D, flexible displays, augmented reality, responsive media, immersive googles and domes, inexpensive pervasive displays, and all running at 8K resolution or higher.
How do we separate the hype from the reality of these visions? Which of these innovations will users reject, like 3D TV, which will take off, and how can we decide which innovations to design for? Technology advocates often compare media technology innovations to the change from black-and-white to color TV, but when is that characterization fair and when is it overstatement? In this presentation, I’ll present a case study in the field of responsive media, called Responsive Mirror, and apply lessons learned from that to anticipate the fates of today’s hot topics in visions of tomorrow’s ubiquitous media.
Target Audience:
Innovators of new products and services, particularly using new media technologies such as 3D, Augmented Reality, Responsive Media, and more.
Benefit for Participants:
1. A taxonomy of media technology visions: terminology and categories.
2. Lessons learned from deployment of media-based technologies.
3. A framework for identifying likely adoption of novel media experiences.
In this session, we talk about the mobile and social web, and how it shapes economy, individual behavior and well-being, political events, and society as a whole.

What you think you know about social media is probably wrong. This session will discuss how these tools actually operate, often at odds with promoted functions. Based on data collected and analyzed by panelists and online science publications, we will discuss Digg, reddit, StumbleUpon, Slashdot, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media tools (with background materials for the uninitiated).
Free Chapter Conversation And CommunityAnne Gentle
Writers and content creators are witnesses to a shift from the age of information to the age of interaction. The volume of information available is huge and the ways in which people access that information, communicate, and collaborate are changing constantly. This book addresses strategies for technical communicators to experiment with techniques for working with social media and social networking tools. This chapter specifically talks about communities and collaborative events like Book Sprints, writing a user manual in a week's time.
Nikolas Badminton loves to think about the future. In 2014 people started calling him a futurist. This was probably because he had been talking about the strange future of sex, the Internet of Things in 2020, why software is sexier than advertising, creativity, the collaborative economy, the #thefutureofwork, industrial wearables, surveillance, psychedelics, the connected society, and the quality of life we have with technology

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

5. What do we think networking is? And a definition from the facilitator Expanding one's social network or sphere of influence by initiating mutually advantageous new relationships with people. One’s ability to make contact with others in obtaining research, information, and services about career fields, organizations, or job industries in order to enhance career goals.

17. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality questionnaire designed to identify certain psychological differences according to the typological theories of Carl Gustav Jung as published in his 1921 book Psychological Types… While many academic psychologists have criticized the indicator in research literature, claiming that it "lacks convincing validity data… proponents and sellers of the test cite unblinded anecdotal predictions of individual behavior… In a similar way to left- or right-handedness, the principle is that individuals also find certain ways of thinking and acting easier than others. The MBTI endeavours to sort some of these psychological opposites into four opposite pairs, or dichotomies, with a resulting 16 possible combinations. None of these combinations is 'better' or 'worse',… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator Humans and personalities
