INSTRUCTORS

Nigel Davies is a Professor in the School of Computing and Communications at

Lancaster University and co-director of Lancaster’s new multidisciplinary Data Science

Institute. His research focuses on experimental mobile and ubiquitous systems and his

projects include the MOST, GUIDE, e-Campus and PD-NET projects that have been

widely reported on in the academic literature and the popular press. Professor Davies

has held visiting positions at SICS, Sony's Distributed Systems Lab in San Jose, the Bonn

Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, CMU and most recently Google Research in

Mountain View, CA. Nigel is active in the research community and has co-chaired both

Ubicomp and MobiSys conferences. He is a former editor-in-chief of IEEE Pervasive

Magazine, chair of the steering committee for HotMobile and one of the founders of

the ACM PerDis Symposium on Pervasive Displays.

Sarah Clinch is a post-doctoral researcher at Lancaster University, UK. She completed her

PhD (Lancaster) on the appropriation of public displays and has published extensively on

the topic of next generation pervasive display networks. She has been a visiting

researcher at Carnegie Mellon University working on novel cloudlet systems. Sarah’s

research focuses on the development of architectures for pervasive computing and

personalisation in ubiquitous computing systems. She currently works on the European

FET-Open RECALL project that aims to re-think and re-define the notion of memory

augmentation to develop new paradigms for memory augmentation technologies that

are technically feasible, desired by users, and beneficial to society. Sarah is an active

member of the research community and is currently serving as publicity co-chair for both

IEEE Percom and ACM HotMobile.

SYNOPSIS

Fueled by falling display hardware costs and rising demand, digital signage and pervasive displays are becoming ever

more ubiquitous. Such displays are now a common feature of many public spaces and serve a range of purposes

including signage, entertainment, advertising and information provision. Beyond traditional broadcast media, recent

developments in sensing and interaction technologies are enabling entirely new classes of display applications that

tailor content to the situation and audience of the display. The time is right for researchers to consider how to create

the world’s future pervasive display networks.

The workshop will explore the challenges of designing, developing and deploying pervasive display systems in the

wild through a combination of short lectures, discussions and hands-on activities. Students will be introduced to

both technical issues (systems software, scheduling behaviours, evaluation techniques) and the human/social/ethical

issues that arise from the embedding of pervasive displays in real world environments (audience behaviours,

stakeholder concerns).

We welcome participants from different areas of expertise, including computer science and design and no specific

hw/sw skills are required. Although the workshop will have a strong focus on the study of pervasive display systems,

many of the topics covered will have applications to ubicomp research in the wild more broadly and participants will

become skilled in creating and evaluating systems in challenging public contexts. Lecture material will draw on both

theoretical models and understanding, and a wealth of real-world examples and experiences from long-term display

deployments.

At the end of the workshop students will have produced a comprehensive plan for creating a future pervasive display

deployment in their domain of choice as well as having engaged in a number of development tasks as part of their

studies.

INSTRUCTORS

Hans Gellersen is Professor of Interactive Systems at Lancaster University. Hans'

research interest is in sensors and devices for ubiquitous computing and human-

computer interaction. He has worked on systems that blend physical and digital

interaction, methods that infer context and human activity, and techniques for

spontaneous interaction across devices. In recent work he is focussing on eye

movement, and leading research that breaks new ground in how we can use our eyes

for interaction pervasively. Hans’ work is published in over 200 articles, and has been

recognised with Best Paper Awards in CHI, Pervasive, and TEI amongst others. He is one

of the founders of the UbiComp conference series, and an Associate Editor of ACM

Transactions Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) and the Journal on Personal and

Ubiquitous Computing (PUC). He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University

of Karlsruhe, Germany.

Eduardo Velloso is a Research Fellow at the Microsoft Research Centre for Social Natural

User Interfaces at the University of Melbourne in Australia. Eduardo holds a PhD in

Computer Science from Lancaster University and a BSc in Computer Engineering from

the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. His research aims at creating future

social user experiences combining novel input modalities such as gaze, body movement,

touch gestures, etc. His latest work has investigated eye-based interaction with smart

watches, multimodal combinations of gaze, and eye control of video games. He has

designed and conducted multiple courses and workshops, including the EyePlay

workshop at CHI Play 2014, the .NET Gadgeteer Workshop at the iCareNet Summer

School 2012, at PUC-Rio, and at the Rio de Janeiro State University.

SYNOPSIS

Almost everything we do involves our eyes, and our eyes are central to how we engage with our environments and

interact with each other as humans. We can’t speak with our ears and hear with our mouths but we can both see

and ‘talk’ by gaze - observing the world, following each other’s gaze, and expressing ourselves through the

movement of our eyes. How our eye movement can be tracked and interfaced for interaction with computers has

been studied for many decades but we are now for the first time seeing developments that enable the widespread

adoption of eye tracking as an input device. Further, in a world where computers and displays are ubiquitous, it is

compelling to consider what might be possible if the many kinds of computers and smart devices in our lives are able

to respond to our eyes.

In recent years, we have witnessed a revolution in eye tracking technologies. Eye trackers that used to cost tens of

thousands of dollars, requiring awkward head-mounts and convoluted calibration procedures now cost less than a

hundred dollars and are simple to set up and easy to use. As technology decreases in size and cost, we envision a


10

world in which eye trackers will ship by default with interactive appliances, similarly to how any phone or laptop

comes with an integrated webcam nowadays.

In this workshop, you will gain all the necessary skills to design and build systems for the exciting future of pervasive

eye tracking. The sessions will consist of short lectures followed by practical hands-on activities. In the lectures you

will understand how the eyes see and move; you will gain a thorough understanding of how eye tracking works; and

you will learn about a wide range of interaction techniques that use the eyes only and that combine the eyes with

novel input modalities, such as gestures, touch, game controllers, etc. The hands-on sessions will employ a design

thinking methodology to gain empathy with users to understand how the eyes can help to solve their problems,

generate creative interaction design ideas, build system prototypes using modern eye trackers such as the Tobii EyeX

and the Pupil Pro, and test the prototypes to receive feedback on your designs. At the end of the week, you will have

a novel, fully functional eye-controlled application that solves a problem or a game that explores an interesting new

mechanic.

We welcome participants from different areas of expertise, including Computer Science, Design, and Engineering. No

previous experience with eye tracking is required, but an interest in designing and building interactive systems is

essential. The following skills are useful, but not required: C# programming, Unity programming, Interface design

tools (e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator).

SYNOPSIS

Large displays in combination with personal devices can offer a variety of opportunities for collaboration for example

in stand presentation at exhibitions, as public game platforms, or for meetings, and collective exploration of

information. Designing applications for such situations requires considering collaboration practice and sought

outcome, walk-up-and-use readiness, interaction design considering available interaction techniques.

The topics covered in this workshop include analysing collaborative activities and opportunities around large

displays, walk-up-and-use connection of multiple devices to the web and interaction techniques across screens and

devices. The workshop will be conducted in form of prototyping collaborative multi device applications at a large

screen. The participants will learn about identification and analysis of collaborative scenarios around large displays,


13

using a client-edge-server architecture (spaceify.org) for web for integrating of screen and devices, and cross

device/large screen interaction design.

The workshops welcomes participants with diverse backgrounds that will be grouped into multidisciplinary project

teams. Engineering students should have prior experience of several programming projects. For designers and

students from social or human sciences, understanding the basics of programming will be of advantage, but not

required.

INSTRUCTORS

Steve LaValle started working with Oculus VR in September 2012, a few days after

their successful Kickstarter campaign, and was the head scientist up until the

Facebook acquisition in March 2014. He developed patented, perceptually tuned

head tracking methods based on IMUs and computer vision. He also led a team of

perceptual psychologists to provide principled approaches to virtual reality system

calibration and the design of comfortable user experiences. In addition to his work

at Oculus, he is also Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois,

where he joined in 2001. He has worked in robotics for over 20 years and is known

for his introduction of the Rapidly exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm of motion

planning and his 2006 book, Planning Algorithms.

Anna Yershova also started at Oculus in September 2012 and became a Research Scientist there until 2014. She

made fundamental contributions to the head tracking methods and core mathematical software used in the Oculus

Rift and Samsung Gear VR. Since 2011, she has been a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the

University of Illinois, where she teaches virtual reality, C++, and data structures. From 2009 to 2011, she was a post-

doctoral researcher at Duke University, working on computational geometry. In 2009, she completed a PhD in

Computer Science from the University of Illinois. She has published over 20 research articles in the areas of robotics,

applied mathematics, computational biology, and virtual reality. She has also co-authored math textbooks that have

sold millions of copies and are used in schools throughout Russia and Ukraine.

SYNOPSIS

Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful technology that promises to change our lives unlike any other. By artificially

stimulating our senses, our bodies become tricked into accepting another version of reality. VR is like a waking

dream that could take place in a magical cartoon-like world, or could transport us to another part of the Earth or

universe. It is the next step along a path that includes many familiar media, from paintings to movies to video games.

We can even socialize with people inside of new worlds, either of which could be real or artificial. One of the

greatest challenges is that we as developers become part of the system we are developing, making extremely

challenging to objectively evaluate VR systems. Human perception and engineering become intertwined in a

complicated and fascinating way.

This workshop will be a week-long, condensed version of a new course offered at UIUC in recent semesters. It covers

the fundamentals of virtual reality systems, including geometric modeling, transformations, graphical rendering,

optics, the human vision, auditory, and vestibular systems, tracking systems, interface design, human factors,

developer recommendations, and technological issues.

Students are expected to complete an implementation project that demonstrates an understanding of the

fundamentals as well as following best practices recommendations. The learning outcomes are that students will

know how to build a good VR experience, understand how VR works, know how to critically evaluate VR systems,

and understand the fundamentals that are useful in shaping the future of VR. Students are expected to have basic

engineering or computer science background, but are not expected to be at advanced levels of software engineering

or mathematics. Prior experience with programming and matrix multiplication is minimally sufficient.
