Congratulations to my PhD student Emily Kuang @EmilyKuang8, whom I co-supervise with Kristen @kristenshino at RIT, for receiving Google PhD fellowship 2023! Emily investigates how best to design human-AI collaboration for user experience (UX) evaluation in today’s AI landscape.
Interactive visualizations are often designed and evaluated without involving older adults. How can we make interactive visualizations more accessible to older adults? We took a first step to explore this problem. Check out our recent IJHCI paper: tandfonline.com/eprint/CDW3T…
Human-AI collaboration tends to be asynchronous. However, productive human-human collaboration is often synchronous. We investigated how Synchronization and Explanations might affect human-AI collaboration in our #CSCW2022 paper: arxiv.org/abs/2112.12387. @QVeraLiao @jeffjianzhao
Thank Tiago Guerreiro @tjvguerreiro for writing a technical perspective for our paper on creating eyelid gestures for people with motor impairments! Check this wonderful writing here: cacm.acm.org/magazines/2022/… and our original work here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34983…
Was invited to write a technical perspective for @CACMmag as a prologue to the paper "Eyelid gestures for people with motor impairments" by @mingming_fan, @Franklin_M_Li and Zhen Li

Check out our work on human-AI collaboration for #ux data (#thinkaloud_video) analysis at #vis 2021. With my student Emily Kuang and collaborators @jeffjianzhao and @EhsanJso.
CoUX is a collaborative visual analytics tool to support multiple UX evaluators with analyzing think-aloud usability test recordings. youtu.be/36l1zxUS_N4 @EhsanJso
ChartSeer is a system that uses machine intelligence to enable analysts to visually monitor the current state of an exploratory data analysis and effectively identify future activities to perform. youtu.be/bjV0hNO9T2M github.com/jeffjianzhao/Char… @mia_mifeng @mingming_fan
Banking has become increasingly digitized. How do older adults bank in light of emerging digital payment trends? My PhD student Xiaofu Jin @suffvier is presenting our research at @acmdis2021. Check out the presentation: youtube.com/watch?v=Lufca8m6…. Paper: doi.org/10.1145/3461778.3462….
Ditto. There is only slightly over a month's time between the 2nd round notification and the conference time. It would be difficult for many people around the world to apply for US visa and book affordable air tickets in such a short time. @clifflampe, @ayman, #chi2022 #CHI2021

Excited to share the preprint of our #CHI2021 paper “I Choose Assistive Devices That Save My Face” A Study on Perceptions of Accessibility and Assistive Technology Use Conducted in China.

Excited to feature our recent work ChartSeer in #Nightingale #DVS on exploratory visual analysis and vis recommendations @mingming_fan @mia_mifeng
It's easy to get lost when working with an unfamiliar dataset or problem for which you have no goals or only vague hypotheses. @jeffjianzhao introduces ChartSeer & other major solutions that assist with the exploratory visual analysis of #data buff.ly/2KxFrvE #dataviz
I'd like to share our #ASSETS2020 paper on "Eyelid Gestures on Mobile Devices for People with Motor Impairments." We also open source our code to the community to further uncover eyelid gestures' potential: github.com/mingming-fan/Eyel…. Paper: mingmingfan.com/papers/ASSET…. #a11y @RITtigers
My coauthors (@Zhen_CS and @Franklin_M_Li) would like to thank Hebei and Shijiazhuang Disabled Person's Federations in recruiting the participants, who helped us understand how people with motor impairments use and feel about eyelid gestures.

Thank @TheOfficialACM for making this positive move.
Today, in my last email to @TheOfficialACM members, I was allowed to announce some super news. ACM has adopted “the goal of opening the Digital Library within five years.” Let’s celebrate - #openAccess is something many of us have wanted for a long time

here's our schedule, we are just passing halfway of our "smell, taste and temperature" symposium of #CHI2020 papers. Up next one more paper on temperature #haptics session, followed by a panel and then later today the "taste" session! Schedule also at stt20.lab.plopes.org/ 21/N

Roshan Peiris chairs the Temperature session (1:30pm CDT) w/ presentations on a display only felt by certain body parts (Arinobu Niijima), wetness illusions for VR @mingming_fan, 3a/5
ALT A hand presents the ThermalBitDisplay, which is a pinky ring with 3 tiny peltier elements and a bracelet for the battery. The user can then touch the ring with another finger or press it against their lips, and the display can be adjusted so only one of the body parts feels the feedback.
ALT A hand reaches out for a controller that can simulate a wet surface when touched.
Thanks for sharing! I also recommend reading and reflecting on "Critical Race Theory for HCI" from CHI 2020: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3…
Stand in solidarity as we address institutional racism within SIGCHI. Many have expressed their private support, but they are fearful that public allyship would be harmful to their careers. This fear must stop. Please share our story: bit.ly/3hnMBP6 #SIGCHI #SIGCHI4ALL

.@rochci meeting in a VR space hosting @mingming_fan. Nice to go around the table and 'relive' the experience of being in close proximity to each other. Audio-visual mechanisms need improvement. Thank you Dr. Fan for braving the presentation w/ your exciting work.
