No dia 16 de novembro, às 15:15, o DEI recebe Francisco Ortega, Professor Associado na Colorado State University, como convidado das DEI Talks. Na sala I-105, numa sessão aberta a todos e moderada pelo Prof. Rui Rodrigues (DEI), apresentará “XR Visual Search and Notifications”.
Sobre a DEI Talk:
“Augmented reality (AR) can put an arrow on the object you are looking for. The questions are where to place that arrow and whether the cue is correct — and what information-access effort costs. Related to visual search cues, we have notifications and timers: how do they compete for attention with the world they exist to explain, and where do we place them? Our work in visual search and information-access effort includes timers, cues, and notifications. This line of research has several applications, from civilian use cases (e.g., rescue) and health applications (e.g., CPR) to military applications (e.g., searching for targets).”
Sobre o Orador:
“Francisco Ortega is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Colorado State University and director of the Natural User Interaction Laboratory. His research builds and studies multimodal interaction (gesture, speech, gaze, and touch) for augmented and virtual reality, with a strong commitment to accessibility and to training the next generation of computing researchers.
Before joining CSU, he completed his Ph.D. and a postdoc at Florida International University, where the lab had its first home. His work has been supported by the NSF (including a CAREER award), the Office of Naval Research, DARPA, and the Dan Marino Foundation, among others. He has authored three books on 3D user interfaces, elicitation methodology, and multimodal interaction, and holds three U.S. patents.”
