A pleasure to host Jun Rekimoto at the Human-Computer Integration Lab (lab.plopes.org) where he gave a talk about "Human-AI Integration". Inspiring as always and thanks for staying for a full day of demos and giving insightful feedback to many of our lab members. (thanks Romain for co-organizing!)

Jun Rekimoto giving a talk next to my lab's banner that says Human Computer Integration (lab name and my motto for 15+ years), which is really nice to see! The talk was very inspiring and you can see his energy in his way of gesturing at the slide.

“Seeing with the Hands” is the latest #CHI25 research from our lab (@pedrolopes.org) with Gene S-H Kim and Xuanyou Liu. We explore a sensory substitution that enables a flexible way of seeing (vision-to-electrotactile), e.g., hover an object and feel its shape before grasping if one cannot see.

This over-the-shoulder shot shows a person reaching for a black kettle on a table with their right hand. On the back of their right hand, a device is attached and consists of strips. A call-out in the top left corner shows a close up photo of the kettle, overlaid with a grid of dots in white and red colors. The red dots approximately overlap with the kettle image.

Robotic hand helps pianists overcome “ceiling effect." Passive training with robotic exoskeleton hand even led to motor improvements in the untrained hand. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Being an HCI researcher is not easy! It was nice hosting a panel at UChicago CS and hearing from our kind faculty members about cultivating culture, volunteering, dealing with failure, and more.

A group of students is attending a panel titled "How to Thrive in HCI Academia Without Losing Your Mind" in a seminar setting with four speakers at the front.

What if you could learn to play a new musical piece in just a few practice sessions? In my new paper, we show that using haptic gloves to passively rehearse piano pieces can speed up learning by 49.7%, and negating forgetting between practice sessions.

A fresh start on Bluesky: I am Shan-Yuan, a PhD candidate passionate about "haptics" (touch, texture, force), which we have mostly given up with touchscreens & VR/AR headsets. I re-envision and build new hardware that enables fun and dexterous computing interactions (hoping to start a new lab!).

You can enjoy haptics while charging devices with my arm-wear! (beautifully shot by John Zich at University of Chicago)
