Many experts from the learning sciences and educational technologies communities gathered at the University College London (UCL) Institute of Education in London last week for not one but three conferences during the London Festival of Learning.
Less than 48 hours after going online, the tickets were gone.
The tickets -- not for a concert, Broadway show or cross-town rivalry sporting event -- were for our Human-Computer Interaction Institute alumni networking event on Thursday, June 14, 2018, at Facebook, Inc.
Selected from more than one thousand proposals, four faculty members from the Human-Computer Interaction Institute have received 2017 Google Faculty Research Awards. Google hopes these collaborative relationships with world-class computer science faculty researchers will impact how future generations use technology, benefiting both the researchers and Google.
Louise Zhou, who graduated last year with a double major in business administration and human-computer interaction, is one of five Carnegie Mellon University recipients of Fulbright Awards for overseas studies.
Greg Coticchia, the executive director of Carnegie Mellon University’s new Master of Science in Product Management program, recently discussed the joint program between the School of Computer Science and the Tepper School of Business.
Jessica Hammer, assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University, jointly appointed in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) and the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC), has received the 2018 award for Teaching Innovation. All university award winners were recognized at the Celebration of Education awards ceremony and reception on Monday, April 30, 2018.
Searches involving multiple websites can quickly get confusing, particularly when performed on a mobile device with a small screen. A new web browser developed at Carnegie Mellon University now brings order to complex searches in a way not possible with conventional tabbed browsing.
Social Networks Are Sources Of Security Tips
When people get word of an online data breach, men are far more likely to share that news with their colleagues and women are much more likely to share it with family and significant others, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University report.
And people who are relatively well-informed about security and privacy risks are more likely to share the news than are people who are less-informed.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have used an inexpensive 3-D printer to produce flat plastic items that, when heated, fold themselves into predetermined shapes, such as a rose, a boat or even a bunny.
Smart Walls React to Human Touch, Sense Activity in Room
Walls are what they are — big, dull dividers. With a few applications of conductive paint and some electronics, however, walls can become smart infrastructure that sense human touch, and detect things like gestures and when appliances are used.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and Disney Research found that they could transform dumb walls into smart walls at relatively low cost — about $20 per square meter —using simple tools and techniques, such as a paint roller.
