Human-Centered Technologies for Older Adults: Can XR and AI Augment Human Abilities?
#AR, #XR and #AI can augment human abilities—but critical reflection is essential. The potential is vast, but ethical risks must be addressed.

Online user experiments are possible, but not without challenges, especially if an additional device is needed. Today we're discussing online user experiments with eye tracking: eurocarto2024.org/wp-content…
#eurocarto workshop by
Merve Keskin (@Merveismygirl) & Vassilios Krassanakis
Dr. @Iza_Karsznia presented our abstract today on "human vs. AI". Can people (even experts) tell if a map is generalized* by AI? Seemingly they can't -- we'll share more soon :)
*Cartographic generalization (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartog…) is highly complex with qualitative decisions.
Day 2 of pre- #eurocarto activities is in full swing, hosted by @iza_golebiowska and co. at the University of Warsaw. See the program here: carto-vis-workshop.uw.edu.pl (abstracts will follow). Interesting talks and great energy!

We are thrilled to invite you to Prof. Dr. Alyssa Goodman's brownbag talk on 11 July 2024.
Title: "Linkable Interactive Visualization and Exploration (LIVE) Environments, with a Tour of the Milky Way, in 3D"
Check the flyer below - Explore the #MilkyWay in 3D!
Dr. Elisabeth Stern enlightens (and charms, in the process) us on how Climate Seniors change the world, starting from the Swiss law! #tedxzurich #jointhecountdown
The "five gates": climate change discourse organized into a five step model by Dr. Claude A. Garcia (Uni Applied Sci Bern). A well delivered lecture guiding about how to think about our attitude & behavior. #tedxzurich #jointhecountdown
After a long break I'm back with the #tedxzurich crowd at the #jointhecountdown event. Tonight is about sustainability.
At the launch of the COMPAS XR at the ETH today, open source (MIT license), Python based, with architecture & construction focus (CAD + XR), check it out block.arch.ethz.ch/brg/tools…

Our eye tracking x color vision tutorial w/ @alessandrobrun0 at #ETRA2024 is about half way. So many cool things, difficult to choose :)
Let's start with Alessandro's super useful python code snippets for color spaces & simulate color vision deficiency: github.com/alessandrobruno10…

I noticed that we (@iza_golebiowska and I) tend to publish papers with fancy titles. We had "rainbow dash" and "legends of the dashboard", now the "middle earth" paper is out too tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… (open access). The question arises: Is the equator not the true middle?
