I'm at #uist2025 presenting our new work with @jonathoda.bsky.social!

𝗗𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗸 is a computational substrate for end-user programming that makes it easy to implement programming experiences like programming by demonstration, collaborative editing and more!

Spatialstrates is a collaboration between Aarhus University and Bangor University with @jensemil.bsky.social, @pwsbutcher.bsky.social, @ritsosp.bsky.social, and @nelmqvist.bsky.social.

Spatialstrates builds on a decade of work with Webstrates (webstrates.net), our web-based platform for malleable and collaborative software. With SpatialStrates, we now extend these ideas into the third dimension.
In fact, I presented Webstrates exactly 10 years ago at UIST 2015 in Charlotte.

These shared spaces can of course also be viewed and interacted with through a 2D representation.

Clemens Nylandsted Klokmose @clemens.klokmose.net · 13d

In practice, this means you and a colleague can work in each your own digital room, with your own tools and objects, while keeping a shared space on, say, your desk where you can drop in objects.

Clemens Nylandsted Klokmose @clemens.klokmose.net · 13d

Spatial transclusion allows spaces to be embedded within other spaces. If you know HTML, you can think of it partly like an iframe in space, a space inside a space, and partly like a shared Dropbox folder, where everything inside stays synchronized between those who share it.

Clemens Nylandsted Klokmose @clemens.klokmose.net · 13d

For example, users can interact with objects on a digital whiteboard (think of Miro). But this board is in fact a projection of objects in a 3D space, allowing the objects to be viewed and interacted with seamlessly in immersive AR or VR as well.

Clemens Nylandsted Klokmose @clemens.klokmose.net · 13d

To make this possible, Spatialstrates builds on two simple but powerful mechanisms: projection planes and spatial transclusion.
Projection planes map between 2D and 3D, enabling collaboration across realities so to say.

Clemens Nylandsted Klokmose @clemens.klokmose.net · 13d

In Spatialstrates, users can interact collaboratively with digital content spatially whether it’s simple digital post-its, 3D objects, or interactive data visualisation pipelines as we illustrate in the paper.

Clemens Nylandsted Klokmose @clemens.klokmose.net · 13d

Spatialstrates is a web-based platform for collaborative cross-reality computing. In practice, this means software that people can use together, simultaneously, whether they are on a conventional 2D screen on a laptop or inside an immersive 3D environment using a headset.

Clemens Nylandsted Klokmose @clemens.klokmose.net · 13d

Next week I’ll be at ACM UIST 2025 in Busan, South Korea, where @maski89.bsky.social will be presenting our work on Spatialstrates. In this project, we address the gap between everyday laptop-based computing and immersive experiences with augmented or virtual reality headsets.

I denne uge har jeg og en stor del af mine kolleger været værter for over 250 internationale kolleger på en forskningskonference i Århus, som mit forskningsmiljø afholder hvert 10. år.
Dét var sjovt. Og hårdt. Men mest hårdt i tiden op til og heldigvis hele tiden sjovt. >
#dkforsk

Stakladen på Århus universitet, onsdag morgen og fyldt med tilhørere. På scenen står vi tre hovedarrangører og byder velkommen (jeg er til venstre i rødt).

Sidste slide fra afsluttende session i går eftermiddags: vi ses i 2035!

It's amazing to have the book in my hand now, after several years of working on it with Kasper and Per Ola.

In a nutshell, it's a new textbook for introductory-level HCI courses:
✅ 10 parts, covering the whole HCI process
✅ 864 pages and 1.9 kgs
✅ Open access (!)

Sure, I'd be happy to!
If you'll be experimenting with the idea, you could find inspiration in the service worker of MyWebstrates: github.com/Webstrates/M.... SWs can't access FS, but you can ask a client to do it for the worker (see line 166 for this pattern of requesting data from a client).

You could almost replicate "browsers shipped with servers" using a service worker and the filesystem API.
It would require a domain under https that would install the initial service worker and that would be the users' frontend to the 'local server' (even when offline).

Computing could be a more harmonious and empowering force in our lives if we could mold it to our needs. We wrote a little about this vision of "malleable software" – past, present, and future.

Malleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps

The original promise of personal computing was a new kind of clay. Instead, we got appliances: built far away, sealed, unchangeable. In this essay, we envision malleable software: tools that users can...
