The journal article called “EVS… now!” Mixing relevant instant replay into live video” has been conditionally accepted to a special issue of Visual Studies on New Technologies: Shifting Boundaries, Shared Moments.The article is written by Mark Perry, Arvid Engström, Oskar Juhlin and Mathias Broth.
Oskar discuss the future of mobile applications in the P1 program called “Appar vinner mark i mobilen” in Vetandets värld the 17th of May
Elin Önnevall and others present a position paper, called “TV watching at sports bars as social
interaction”, at the “Designing for crowds” workshop at Pervasive 2010 in Helsinki
Oskar was invited to speak at a seminar organised by Region förbundet in Kalmar the 28th of January 2010. The title of the talk was “Mobile life as social media.”
Anton presents his thesis “Positive persuasion through the artificial medium”, on how to design persuasive ambient displays and pervasive games to reframe our understanding of our energy consumption. Anton used to be a member of the Mobility studio, but has since two years solely focused on this topic in the Power studio in Eskilstuna. Professor Matt Jones from Swansea University, specialicing in research on mobile interaction , will act as opponent. He will also give a joint Mobile Life/power studio seminar the day before (Thursday the 10th).
In 2011, the number one forum for academics and practitioners within the area of mobile human computer interaction, will take place in Stockholm. The conference will be hosted by the Mobile Life VinnExcellence Center in partnership with Nokia, Ericsson, The City of Stockholm and Kista Science City. Check out the website
As of the 1st of April Oskar will be appointed as the Director of the Mobile Life VinnExcellence Centre. Arvid Engström is appointed Adjunct Studio Director of the Mobility Studio.
The demo at SIGGRAPH Asia in Yokohama attracted lots of attention from the visitors. There were lots of smiles and revisits to our both. For a mobile video displaying our set up please visit this site.
Our paper “Temporal hybridity: Mixing live video footage with instant replay in real time” has been accepted for inclusion in the CHI 2010 Papers and Notes Program at Atlanta Georgia.
The workshop “Designing for crowds” has been accepted to Pervasive 2010 in Helsinki, Finland 17th to 20th May.
Crowds often may be formed by groups of people with some level of shared sense, purpose and togetherness. In the workshop, whilst being wary of attempting to define ‘crowds’, we will seek to explore the challenges unique to crowds through examining a range of different types and forms of crowds, such as groups of sports fans, crowds gathering around performers or public displays, or crowds at festivals and musical events. We note that even with more well-researched technologies, such as large interactive screens, there remain few empirical studies of how actual user practices and interaction in such crowd settings takes place. As such the focus of our workshop will attempt to redress this lack of studies within the domain.
