DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Misha Sra\nhosted by Bernd Bickel\nAbstract: The dista
 nce between the real and the digital is clearest at the interface layer. T
 he ways that our bodies interact with the physical world are rich and elab
 orate while digital interactions are far more limited. Through an increase
 d level of direct and intuitive interaction\, my work aims to raise comput
 ing devices from external systems that require deliberate usage to those t
 hat are truly an extension of us\, advancing both the state of research an
 d human ability.I call my concept perceptual engineering\,'' i.e.\, a meth
 od to alter the user's perception (or more specifically the input signals 
 to their perception) and manipulate it in subtle ways. For example\, modif
 ying a user's sense of space\, place\, body\, balance and orientation or m
 anipulating their visual attention\, all without the user's explicit input
 \, and in order to assist or guide their interactive experience in an effo
 rtless way.I build devices and immersive systems that use: cognitive illus
 ions for managing attention\; physiological signals for novel interaction\
 ; deep learning for automatic VR generation\; 3D reconstruction for mappin
 g real and virtual spaces\; embodiment for remote collaborative learning\;
  tangible interactions for augmenting play\; haptics for enhancing immersi
 on\; and vestibular stimulation for mitigating movement related motion sic
 kness.My perceptual engineering'' approach has been shown to\, (1) support
  implicit and natural interactions with haptic feedback\, (2) induce belie
 vable physical sensations of motion in VR\, (3) provide a novel way to com
 municate with the user through proprioception and kinesthesia\, and (4) se
 rve as a platform to question the boundaries of our sense of agency and tr
 ust.If we look at the evolution of computing over the last 50 years\, inte
 raction has gone from punch cards to mouse and keyboard to touch and voice
 . Similarly\, devices have become smaller and closer to the user's body. W
 ith every transition\, the things people can do have become more personal.
  The main question that drives my research is: what is the next logical st
 ep?
