SUMMARY
I was impressed
when I walk in Professor Celine Latulipe’s office. There are lots of post-it representing
people on the wall. It tells us what she was doing. Prof. Celine Latulipe gave
us a brief introduction about her research. Her research interest is Human
Computer Interaction (HCI) making computer useful for people. In this sense, she
talks about ongoing project with dance department, Dance Draw Project which is
web-based application where people can upload video and left comments to create
interaction techniques and support for the collaborative performing arts
process. It shows us how computer technologies can be important in supporting
and evaluating creative work practices.
And then she
talks about her another research using hands. She has been studied by two
handed interaction for a long time and developed software that creates more
ways for us to interact using both hands at the same time. She explained about
her PhD work in which she designed a photo editing software that supports
multiple pointing devices. Two separate pointers were used to control hue and
saturation and the curve. Usually we use only one hand click on the mouse all
the time. This works explains how using both hands can be very helpful on
computer works.
I think this
project is related to paper yesterday ‘Body-Centric Design Space for
Multi-surface Interaction’. From this research, I’m very interested in how our
body can be used and extend in multi surface interaction techniques. I’ve
thought before when I use computer or Smartphone there’s limited space for
interaction and limits the range of gestures. Understanding bodyscape is
essential to study body centric design space and interaction studies. They
classifies existing techniques and helps generate compound new ones and
illustrate bodyscape like experiment compare two freehand techniques such as on
body touch and mid air pointing. I think, they contribute a body-centric design
space that how our body can be used to create rich interaction possibilities
and suggest about future work.
I thought
traditional computer science is full of technical terms and programming and
encoding which is unfamiliar to me and stuck in to the room without creativity.
But she made me change my mind. Professor Celine Latulipe work is very
interesting. She works with other people all the time and creates practical
interaction techniques using her computer that other people can use. I think
important thing is that she creates people’s interests for computer science and
HCI.
