Participants

Florian 'Floyd' Mueller     Floyd's current interest is in interfaces that deliberately require intense physical effort to facilitate social connectedness between remote participants. He has designed exemplary systems under this theme such as Breakout for Two (together with Stefan Agamanolis), Airhockey over a Distance, Push’N’Pull, Jogging the Distance and Table Tennis for Three.   Please call me Floyd.		exertion_interfaces_extended_abstract.pdf
Stefan Agamanolis   Stefan was a founding research director at Media Lab Europe, Dublin, Ireland. There he led the Human Connectedness group, an interdisciplinary team that explored the future of human relationships as mediated by technology. He worked with Floyd on an exertion interface game called Breakout for Two. Currently he is Chief Executive of Distance Lab, a new hybrid academic/industry research laboratory for distance-reducing technologies that he developed in Scotland.   Please call me Stefan.		exertion_interfaces_extended_abstract.pdf
Patrick Baudisch     Patrick is a research scientist in the field of human-computer interaction at the Adaptive Systems and Interaction Research Group at Microsoft Research, as well as an Affiliate Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Washington. His latest class was on input device design in the industrial design department. Patrick's focus is on interaction techniques that help users interact with very large displays and visualization techniques that allow users to view large documents on small screen devices. His latest gadget is called soap. Here is my presentation slide deck.		Eight_New_Input_Devices_Eight_New_Ways_to_Move.pdf
Ioannis Pavlidis   Ioannis is the founder and director of the Computational Physiology Lab and the Eckhard-Pfeiffer Professor of Computer Science at the University of Houston. His interests are on monitoring and acting upon physiological information gathered continuously and unobtrusively. He worked with Jim Levine to obtain stress signatures from the face through imaging means (Nature 2002) and with Justin Starren to apply them on software usability studies (CHI 2005). His latest research is on the development of a behavioral framework to battle obesity trends. The framework is based on competitive gaming fueled by data logged by wearable physiological sensors. The so called NEAT-o-Games promote mild but sustained physical activity. Ioannis’ latest class is on Body Sensor Networks.     Please call me Yanni.		NEAT-o-Games.pdf
Konstantinos Kazakos   Kostas is a first year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department of the University of Houston. He is currently a member of the Computational Physiology Lab under the supervision of Professor Ioannis Pavlidis. He received his 5 year Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Crete, Greece in July 2006. Kostas’ research interests include ubiquitous physiology, human-computer interaction, and body sensor networks. His passion is mountain climbing.     Please call me Kostas.		NEAT-o-Games.pdf
Yuichi Fujiki   Yuichi is a first year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department of the University of Houston. He is currently a member of the Computational Physiology Lab under the supervision of Professor Ioannis Pavlidis. He received his masters degree in Informatics from Graduate School of Kyoto University. Later he had 4 years of work experience in NEC Japan. Yuichi’s research interests include ubiquitous physiology, human-computer interaction, and body sensor networks. His passion is rock climbing.		NEAT-o-Games.pdf
Amaya Becvar Amaya is a Ph.D. candidate in Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego. Her advisors are Jim Hollan and Edwin Hutchins, co-founders of the Distributed Cogntition and Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory. Amaya's Ph.D. dissertation is an ethnography-for-design study looking at the the role of the body in professional education in dentistry, and how video blogging technology transforms the way students learn to be expert practitioners. As a former college athlete, and now a certified aerobics instructor, Amaya has always had great interest in the mechanics of the human body. In the future, Amaya would like to participate in the research and design of interfaces that integrate with humans as complete, embodied beings; interfaces that encourage us to take care of ourselves holistically.

Regan Mandryk   Regan is an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University. Her multidisciplinary background merged in her Ph.D. topic on using physiological data to model a user's emotional experience when interacting with play technologies. Regan has been interested in using emerging technologies to facilitate real living, including supporting social interactions and encouraging healthy living. She is pursuing this work through the ubiquitous gaming community, where she has co-organizing 4 workshops, guest-edited a special issue of PUC, and published a survey paper on pervasive games.
