Assoc. Prof. James Eagan from Institut Polytechnique de Paris will be the guest of KHAS Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciencesu00a0webinar series with his speech u201cBuilding a Better Bicycle for the Mindu201d on Friday, April 1 at 14.00.
The event will take place on Zoom and is open to anyone interested.
Abstract: Steve Jobs once described the computer as u201ca bicycle for the mind,u201d a tool that amplifies peopleu2019s cognitive capabilities. My work focuses on making this bicycle a better, more expressive tool for humans in a data-rich world: by understanding how people interact with and make sense of data, by making interactions more flexible and expressive, and by rethinking how we build software so users can appropriate and adapt it to their own idiosyncratic needs. In this talk, I will present an overview of my labu2019s work in these three areas.
