It’s possible my slack is getting an AI upgrade. But I’m not totally sure. I think possibly 25 more email confirmations would help.

We have Rakesh Patibanda from @monashuniversity.bsky.social speaking at the MRL today.

Interestingly I flew east across Europe and Asia to #chi2025 and also east over Canada Greenland to come back to England. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before.

Amazing to see lots of volunteers ready to take CHI to Barcelona.

Max L Wilson @drmaxlwilson.bsky.social · May 1

And now… #chi2026 will be in Barcelona! Nuria and Ayman will be the general chairs. CHI2026 will be the start of a massivley shaken up new way that CHI will create more space for engagement chi2026.acm.org - including a new student mentoring programme to support more students in the future.

After receiving a standing ovation, she is answering Q&A: her comments are that we need to think of AI as a friend - rather than a tool. She sees AI as a child - and we need to be kind to nurture it as it grows. #chi2025

With this perspective - she has he best part of 5000 people gripped as she reflects on what AI will do for people in this culture as they approach 100 years old. #chi2025

The #chi2025 closing keynote: Masako Wakamiya - who built her first iPhone app at the age of 81. She is reflecting on the way that technology played a role in society for older women in Japanese society: eg Microsoft excel being used for art and creativity in the 1990s. Design for 100 years of life.

We’re ending this #chi2025 on a one-ear EEG earbud type device. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Next is palatetouch for interacting with ear buds with your tongue - they’ve determined how to track tongue position from pressure changes in the ear canal. #chi2025

Next up, we’re seeing EEG analysis of input interaction in AR environments, with each mode having multiple difficulty configurations #chi2025

Max L Wilson @drmaxlwilson.bsky.social · May 1

Michael’s team managed to use this tech to replicate a known theta pattern to formal EEG on the lab, and (with more noise) the same pattern in the wild. #chi2025
