Jan Gugenheimer run a session on “Cognitive Augmentation and Manipulation” looking at different way LLMs and genAI in combination with AR/WR push the frontiers of descriptive designs … including a black mirror writing exercise :)

Can you run meaningful AI stuff on a ESP32? LMM on a raspberry pi? PI AI hat+ or Jetson Nano? Philipp Thalhammer and Boris Kegeles showed some devices and hardware (with demos :) and we got to do a hands on exercise… for the source code see github.com/Phlipinator/... #winterschool2026

What do you expect from your supervisor? What is a success PhD? What do I as supervisor expect from my students? When is a PhD ready? We collected, discussed, consolidated in groups and looked to identify potential mismatches, alignments, and conflicts. So many interesting point #winterschool2026

Jan Leusmann kicked off the second part of #winterschool. Jasmin Niess discussed how we can engage with theory and advance the HCI foundations. What is theory-based research in HCI? It is really important to reflect that HCI has a plurality of approaches in theory research. #winterschool2026

Mentoring is essential to academic live! Jasmin Niess is running our #winterschool2026 mentoring session - especially focusing on how we find mentors, can you benefit from mentoring and how you can be a good mentor. Mentoring newer stops… you never grow out of needing a mentor

Next session by Maximiliane Windl and Jan Leusmann on coding and creating scripts for data analysis with GenAI. Some tools (github.com/copilot, cursor.com, windsurf.com, antigravity.google, ChatGPT) and a fun group session. My take away is that empirical research will change massively in the future.

How can you improve your experiment design with AI? Fiona Draxler gave us examples how to get started with using AI methods and experimental designs and mad us reflect with some exercise (see pictures).

We had an interesting discussion today in the Online Multimedia lecture, that I give together with Florian Alt at @mimuc.bsky.social . Are we as web developers, and the course that we teach, becoming superfluous with the rise of LLM tools?
