UCI has most NSF-IIS funding in California - October 5th, 2010
While in a committee meeting today discussing student outreach, the SOAR committee was presented with the following interesting fact: UCI receives the most funding from the NSF IIS Division of any school in California. We receive 14.9%. UCSD comes in second at 11.9%. NSF-IIS is where the Human Centered Computing program is based and this funding pays for equipment, graduate and undergraduate research programs and salaries.
So, yay! Good for us. LUCI is a part of making this happen.
Here is a link to the info viz. (Click on View Chart)

Javascript demo of a Bubble Cursor - September 23rd, 2010
Bubble Cursor Demo
See this paper for more info: The bubble cursor: enhancing target acquisition by dynamic resizing of the cursor’s activation area
Click here for the demo
Abstract of paper that explains what this is about:
“We present the bubble cursor – a new target acquisition technique based on area cursors. The bubble cursor improves upon area cursors by dynamically resizing its activation area depending on the proximity of surrounding targets, such that only one target is selectable at any time. We also present two controlled experiments that evaluate bubble cursor performance in 1D and 2D target acquisition tasks, in complex situations with multiple targets of varying layout densities. Results show that the bubble cursor significantly outperforms the point cursor and the object pointing technique [8], and that bubble cursor performance can be accurately modeled and predicted using Fitts’ law.”

What if Your Twitter Followers Really Followed You? - June 4th, 2010
One of the major telecom companies in Japan, KDDI, released a web app called IS Parade (?) that turns your twitter account into a parade. A parade in which your followers, follow you. It is a fun visualization to play with. I recorded a low-res sample below. They also have a strangely addictive abstract interactive visualization on their product homepage, located here.

Plasma is the new tag cloud - March 2nd, 2010
Plasma Visualization
Plasma is a way to represent animated tag clouds with a new aesthetic. It’s being applied as a way to get a snap shot of AIDS research.
“Plasma is an interactive network of links and tags that belongs to a on-going research on AIDS, from an integral and holistic point of view.”

Visualize your Foursquare data - February 23rd, 2010
FourSquare HeatMap
“CheckoutCheckins allows you to create a heat map of your Foursquare checkins. Once you log-in to the map with your Foursquare account it uses the places you’ve been to generate maps, charts, graphs, and stats.
CheckoutCheckins plots your last 50 entries using Google Maps and overlays a heat map of your most recent activity. The site also produces pie charts that provide a graphic presentation of your most often visited locations.”

Congratulations to Informatics graduate student Joel Ross, Computer Science undergraduate student Nitin Shantharam, and Informatics faculty Bill Tomlinson on having their paper,
‘Collaborative Filtering and Carbon Footprint Calculation’ accepted to ISSST 2010.
This paper describes the design of the Better Carbon calculator, a carbon footprint calculator which uses collaborative filtering and location-based calculation to provide an individual footprint estimate while simultaneously affecting and improving the estimates for other people in a user’s community.
Congratulations Joel, Nitin, and Bill!

Nissan Leaf Electric Car has some interesting interactions - December 15th, 2009
Leaf Dashboard Display
The Technology Review has an interesting report out about how the all-electric Nissan Leaf will be helping transition drivers from a gas-based fuel infrastructure to an electric one. It is particularly interesting to notice how email, mobile and location-aware applications become part of a user’s interactions with the car:
“The Leaf’s dashboard display will show remaining battery life, the location of charging stations, and which stations are within range. When the car gets low on power, the driver can put it into a “limp” mode so it drives at the most-efficient speed to ensure it gets there.”
Once the driver plugs a car into a charging station, Nissan sends e-mail updates on how the charge is progressing, and when it’s done. And finally, the owner can use a mobile device to switch on the car’s electric air-conditioner or heater before detaching it from the charging station, so as not to waste battery life after pulling away.

rhythIMs: I Talk, Therefore IM - June 9th, 2009

Congratulations to Judy Chen on passing her advancement to candidacy exam!
Thesis: rhythIMs: I Talk, Therefore IM
Committee:
Paul Dourish (Chair)
Gillian Hayes
Antoinette LaFarge
Don Patterson
Alex Taylor
rhythIMs is a visualization that presents patterns of instant messaging and physical presence. When we interact with others, much of our interaction is built around the convergence of each other’s rhythms. Just as temporality is central to our experience of the world, it is also central to collaboration and our interactions with other people. By designing information visualization for use away from the desktop environment, I explore how technology can be used to support social presence, awareness and connectedness.
Congrats Judy!!
