“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.

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!)

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.

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!).
