Principal Investigators:
- Dr. Wendy Mackay, IN-SITU project-team, Inria Saclay Île-de-France
- Prof. Scott Klemmer, Stanford University
- Prof. Bjoern Hartmann, University of California, Berkeley
Research objectives:
Scientific achievements:
Multi-surface Interaction:
SIRIUS created:
- Hydrascope, which distributes web applications in multi-surface environments;
- Combinatorix, in which students obtain a concrete understanding of combinatorial statistics by manipulating both physical and virtual tokens;
- The CHI Video Preview system for the dynamic display of over 500 30-second videos of technical content; and
- WILDView/Cobi, which used the WILD interactive wall to schedule the four-day CHI’13 conference (16-parallel sessions, 1000 presentations).
Research Methods:
SIRIUS explored novel participatory design techniques, including branching storyboards and peer-critical incident technique, to understand how medical students handle critical events and interact with emergency manuals in the operating room.
The team also explored how “makers“ customize 3D-printed objects in the Thingiverse.
The team wrote a book chapter on “research through design” , which explores the multidisciplinary links between traditional natural scientific and design techniques.
Publications and Awards:
- 1 Book chapter; 3 Posters: CURIS’11, ACM CHI EA’13 (2)
- Software: Hydrascope, Combinatorix, WILDView/ Cobi
- NSF CNIC award on Multi-Surface environments – OISE-1157574.
