[FRIAM] UNM CS Colloquium Nov 6: Distinguished Lecturer, Scott Hudson CMU HCI

[Stephen Guerin]

Should be a good talk this Wed. Scott's Hudson's HCI lab at CMU has
produced inspiring works over the years.

 And it's the Cleve's named lecture series too!

Our colloquium speaker this Wednesday is Scott Hudson, Professor of
Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon.

He will speak in our Cleve Moler & MathWorks Chair in Mathematical and
Engineering Software Distinguished Lecture Series. His presentation to the
CS Colloquium will be on *Wednesday, November 6, 2:00 - 2:50 in Centennial
1041*.

Title: *The Future is not What it Used to be: Thoughts on Some new Futures
for Technical Human-Computer Interaction*

Abstract:  In this talk I will consider how the future of technical
Human-Computer Interaction is different than it used to be - what has
changed, what has stayed the same, and mostly what should we do about it.
Although it seems mundane, when we consider change in any sort of computing
technology, we must consider "the elephant in the room" of Moore's law. I
will present two quick thought experiments in this talk to try to convince
you that you really don't understand the implications of Moore's law, that
this really does matter, and that you should perhaps be thinking a little
differently about your work as a result. (Spoiler alert: you are
dramatically underestimating how much change in computing power is ahead of
you, and probably under-utilizing it's potential for HCI advances.) Based
on this, the core of my talk will consider what we might be missing in
terms of how we go about our work, and talk about several exemplars of
where a different view of a "new future" might lead in terms of specific
research directions. With these exemplars as motivation, I will consider
some more general thoughts about the methodologies we use in our work, and
suggest a few ways we might consider thinking differently about how we go
about our work.


Biography: Scott Hudson is a Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at
Carnegie Mellon and previously held positions at the University of Arizona
and Georgia Tech. He has published extensively in technical HCI. He
recently received the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award. Previously he
received the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Service Award, was elected to the CHI
Academy, and received the Allen Newell Award for Research Excellence at
CMU. His research interests within HCI are wide ranging, but tend to focus
on technical aspects of HCI. Much of his recent work has been considering
advanced fabrication technologies such as new machines, processes, and
materials for 3D printing, as well as computational knitting and weaving,
and applications of mechanical meta-materials.
