This is how @sainsburys.bsky.social sells 50% extra juice . Careful colour groups. Blue for orange and green for apple. And green for orange. We now have 2 orange and 2 orange. Just went back for 2 apple to meet original shopping list.

It’s possible my slack is getting an AI upgrade. But I’m not totally sure. I think possibly 25 more email confirmations would help.

We have Rakesh Patibanda from @monashuniversity.bsky.social speaking at the MRL today.

Bye bye #chi2025 Yokohama

Amazing to see lots of volunteers ready to take CHI to Barcelona.
May 1, 2025 at 3:27 AM
And now… #chi2026 will be in Barcelona! Nuria and Ayman will be the general chairs. CHI2026 will be the start of a massivley shaken up new way that CHI will create more space for engagement chi2026.acm.org - including a new student mentoring programme to support more students in the future.

After receiving a standing ovation, she is answering Q&A: her comments are that we need to think of AI as a friend - rather than a tool. She sees AI as a child - and we need to be kind to nurture it as it grows. #chi2025
May 1, 2025 at 3:04 AM
With this perspective - she has he best part of 5000 people gripped as she reflects on what AI will do for people in this culture as they approach 100 years old. #chi2025

The #chi2025 closing keynote: Masako Wakamiya - who built her first iPhone app at the age of 81. She is reflecting on the way that technology played a role in society for older women in Japanese society: eg Microsoft excel being used for art and creativity in the 1990s. Design for 100 years of life.

We’re ending this #chi2025 on a one-ear EEG earbud type device. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
May 1, 2025 at 1:18 AM
Next is palatetouch for interacting with ear buds with your tongue - they’ve determined how to track tongue position from pressure changes in the ear canal. #chi2025
May 1, 2025 at 1:10 AM
Next up, we’re seeing EEG analysis of input interaction in AR environments, with each mode having multiple difficulty configurations #chi2025

Michael’s team managed to use this tech to replicate a known theta pattern to formal EEG on the lab, and (with more noise) the same pattern in the wild. #chi2025
May 1, 2025 at 12:48 AM
Next up Michael Knierim (KIT) is presenting our paper on detecting flow, in the wild, using EEG headphones. Participants wore a ring of EEG around the ear for a whole day. #chi2025
May 1, 2025 at 12:44 AM
The same team have also made a low-power wireless ECG necklace. #chi2025
May 1, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Next up is BallistoBud: heart rate variability detection (for physiological stress) from earbuds using ballistocardiography (BCG) rather than ECG - they reached similar accuracy but with much lower battery cost etc. #chi2025 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Being on the ear massively reduces movement noise compared to smart watch watches #chi2025

In the biosensing session at #chi2025. - really enjoying this paper on PPG earrings from uw. Fashion and function. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
May 1, 2025 at 12:07 AM
At the #chi2025 SIGCHI Panel on the future of our conferences given a changing landscape and the influence of eg ACM Open, where all ACM papers will be completely open access. But at higher author fees.

#chi2025 - glad to enjoy everything we couldn’t enjoy in #chi2021

5675 attendees in person and online! Wow. 5192 in person. 42% from Asia region.
