UIST2022

• Impressions

  • I understood the meaning of “Community” in UIST.

    • I was surprised that it’s a smaller world than I thought, and there are a lot of Japanese people.

  • I deepened my understanding of Meaning of HCI Research.

  • Networking at Conferences

    • It’s difficult for me to connect with people because I can’t talk about what I’m currently working on (or rather, I don’t have anything other than my studies).
      • It’s tough to just say “I’m interested in this.”
      • I thought it would be nice if I could talk about gloves with someone like keidaroo.
    • It’s effective to find people you want to talk to in advance and make contact with them when entering a new community.

  • I still like things that have broad use cases and propose something universal or general.

    • Even in hand tracking research, it’s more interesting to be told that it can also perceive the entire environment around the hand.
    • In VR, I prefer things that present new general interactions rather than convenient UI creation toolkits.
      • Of course, the former also has value and is necessary.

• Since I’m paying a lot of money to participate, I want to gain various things and take them home.

• Things I can gain/Things I can learn

  • Fit with the international HCI community(?)
    • I might feel like I fit in really well, or I might feel like I can’t survive here.
    • I want to actively talk to people and find out about this.
  • I want to find interesting researchers and labs.
    • It would be nice to attack them on Discord or something.

• How to connect with people

  • I think there aren’t many people who come to UIST as first-year undergraduates in the author position.
  • However, I’m not a middle or high school student anymore, so I feel like I won’t be taken seriously if I just want to take something.

UIST2022 Student Innovation Contest UIST2022 Visions

• Back for its fifth year, UIST Visions is a venue for forward thinking ideas to inspire the community. The goal is not to report research but to propose new research directions. We want to project the UIST community as thought leaders in HCI technology. A maximum of 2 speakers will be invited and the review will be based on how interesting and provocative the ideas are. The author should aim to start a meaningful and well-informed discussion about future directions for computer-human interfaces. Appropriate issues might be: future trends, foundational technologies that we need to make progress on, significant, compelling problems that the community might address, something that is missing, or an alternative perspective on what we do.
