This week in Austin Texas USA took place the 2012 ACM CHI conference. Klewel is proud to be the webcasting partner of SIG (special interest group) CHI (computer human interaction). The presentations are available through the ACM Digital Library for ACM members only. The past 5 annual conferences have been webcasted by Klewel. The ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is the premier international conference on human-computer interaction. CHI 2012 focuses on the centrality of experience from the models, theories and practical insights we need to understand and design for user experience to experiencing innovation through hands-on interactivity. The conference gathered 2555 attendees. Two keynote speakers from YouTube and MIT Media Lab presented their work.
Featuring over 900 works, the CHI conference is the premier worldwide forum for the exchange of information on all aspects of human-computer interaction. Typically the works presented address the concerns of design, engineering, management and user experience professionals. This year’s conference also features works that focus on: Digital Arts, Games and Entertainment, Human-Computer Interaction for Kids, Health and Sustainability. After two days of intimate pre-conference workshops, the main conference includes panel discussions, courses that provide leading-edge HCI knowledge, paper sessions, case studies, works-in-progress, student competitions (involving design, research and games), interactive demonstrations, special interest groups, and a Tuesday evening video night (popcorn included).

Description of some projects presented at CHI 2012 starting at 1:22s
“Technical program chair and Google research scientist Ed Chi said that a decade ago it was hard for people to imagine that we’d be using touchscreen smartphones and tablets. Now those devices are commonplace.”
Paul Dourish @dourish noticing at #chi2012 that my enjoyment of talks is inversely proportional to occurences of the word “users.” i’d rather hear about people.
The project involves 6 partners: 3 industrial ones and 3 non-profit research institutes:
In the first phase of this project, we are currently investigating user scenarios, user requirements and anticipating new ways of interacting with recorded meetings, video-conferences and lectures.
We are looking for two organizations that:
meet at least once a year,
cannot always get together but need to communicate,
would not mind having their meetings recorded and accessed by our automatic research tools.
For the right groups, this is a unique opportunity to communicate better, both in meetings and to the wider public.
To find out if your organization could benefit from working with us, have a look at this document, and do not hesitate to contact us. Read more…
Retrouvez l’ensemble du déroulement de l’assemblée générale de la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie du Canton de Vaud (Suisse) qui s’est déroulé hier au Centre des congrès de Beaulieu, Lausanne. Cette année, une conférence sur l’enjeux pour l’emploi en Suisse a été donnée par M. Valentin Vogt, Président de l’Union patronale suisse. Aussi, Philippe Leuba, Chef du Département de l’économie, a donné un aperçu de la situation économique du canton.
Philippe Leuba, Chef du Département de l’économie du canton de Vaud, indique que 40 entreprises étrangères se sont implantées dans le canton de Vaud en 2011, entreprises de pointe notamment actives dans le secteur des technologie de l’information et la communication, ainsi que les sciences de la vie. Ces 40 entreprises emploient 140 personnes et devraient générer quelques 600 places de travail dans les 5 prochaines années. Six millions de francs ont été investi pour soutenir 358 projets portés par des entreprises déjà implantées.
Christopher Gillberg, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The Gillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre in Gothenburg, was awarded the prestigeous Söderbergska Priset in Medicine on Monday 16th April in Stockholm. Preceeding the award ceremony was a seminal seminar titled ESSENCE, put together by Christopher Gillberg.
The video of the talk during the MindRoom congress has been made public:
The acronym ESSENCE stands for Early Symptomatic Syndromes Eliciting Neurodevelopmental Examinations and is a concept Christopher Gillberg introduced a few years ago. It is a generic term for all the overlapping conditions with early childhood onset. It also encourages parents and health professionals to work together as early as from birth if necessary. To register worries and then to track and accommodate them as the child grows.
