Prof. Ian Oakley will be giving a talk about “Embodied Interaction”
————————————————————————————————————–
Date : 3th (THU) May 2012, 1:30pm-3:30pm
Place: Department of Mechanical Engineering
C1 Seminar Rm(#1121)
Speaker : Dr. Ian Oakley (Assistant Professor, University of Madeira)
Abstract: Embodied cognition, an emerging perspective on the human mind, argues that thought is not an abstract process confined to the brain, but rather a leaky one that spreads out to incorporate the body and environment in order to optimally solve problems. Through a series of illustrative examples, this talk will highlight how the theories of embodied cognition can influence the design of a broad range of interactive systems. Ultimately, it argues that visions of the mind fundamentally shape the design of interactive systems and promotes the embodied viewpoint as the best candidate to support the design of the next generation of richly expressive physical and sensory interfaces.
Bio: Ian Oakley is a founding member of the Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute, an assistant professor at the University of Madeira and an adjunct assistant professor at the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He holds a BSc (Joint Honours First Class) in Computing Science and Psychology and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Glasgow, UK. His work experience includes 3 years of post-doctoral experience with MIT MediaLab Europe in Dublin, Ireland and 2 years experience at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute in South Korea. His research focuses on the design, development and evaluation of multi-modal interfaces and he has published on this topic in both leading conferences (such as ACM CHI) and journals (such as the IJHCS). Finally, he is, although he no longer sounds like it, Scots.

From smart Devices to smart Factories
-the beginning of the 4th industrial revolution-
by Dr. Detlef Zuehlke

Abstract:
Our daily life depends more and more on the advantages of information and communication technologies. Information and communication is available anywhere, anytime with any content for any user using any device and any access. No doubt, we are entering the era of ubiquitous computing where computers are becoming smaller, more powerful, invisible and permanently networked. But in our factories the old traditions are still hold: a lot of paperwork, many cables and traditional interaction devices. But as modern ICT technologies are penetrating our homes and lives they will penetrate our factories in future as well. In 2004, a group of German companies and researchers met to discuss the impact of these technologies on future factories. As a result the idea of the smart factory was conceived and made reality. The factory built in 2006 is based on a real production setting in a downsized but representative factory environment. Such a large-scale, real-life production process is the perfect testbed for new methods, concepts and technologies in and for the industrial field.
This presentation will address the changes and challenges we are facing in our future factories and will deduce the technologies and design paradigms from the gathered experiences.
Time : 3. 23.2012 (Fri.), 02:00 pm
