Excited to see that our ACM IUI '26 contribution on player perceptions on generative NPC dialogues (with Manuel Hochreiter and @skriglstein.bsky.social ) is now available on the ACM DL (lnkd.in/dnJMT4j3). Big shout out to my student Manuel Hochreiter for his great work on this.

👀 🙏 Reviewers needed! This year, we received an unexpectedly high number of submissions for VINCI (lnkd.in/exA3bSDd). Especially the art track. We are therefore urgently looking for program committee members who can help us with the review of submissions.

📢 Due to popular demand we have extended the submission deadline for VINCI '25 by two weeks to June 27, 2025: vinci2025.games.cg.jku.at/call-for-pap... #visualization #conference

One of my student looking for participants for her survey.. it is about GenAI and your experience with that :) it is very short questionnaire, but necessary for her requirement analysis, thank you : docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Call for speakers - It is the last round (deadline 31 March 2025). We need more speakers with focus on #UX and #GUR :) but also academics who would like to share their research with the game industry. #game #industry #conference #speaker

Call for speakers with relevant #game industry experience is open at Game Access conference (game-access.com/conference/c...). I would like especially encourage speakers with a focus on #UX and #GUR but also academics who would like to share their research with the game industry.

🤩 Happy in the latest ACM's Interactions our article about the findings that we identified from our one-day MUM'23 workshop "Making a Real Connection: Pro-Social Collaborative Play in Extended Realities—Trends, Challenges and Potentials" is out: interactions.acm.org/archive/view... #XR #VR #AR

Hi, one of my students looking for participants for her survey.. it is about reading books and to take notes. It is very short questionnaire, but necessary for her requirement analysis for her master thesis. If you have time, we are happy for each participant 🙂 : forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Stories with Style: Narrative Virtual and Imaginary Spaces of Reading Fiction in Virtual Reality | Proceedings of the International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia

As more and more of our favorite #HCI venues join Bluesky, I created a starter pack with the ones I found @chi.acm.org @acm-dis.bsky.social @chiwork.bsky.social @mobilehci.bsky.social @ieeevis.bsky.social @acm.org @acm-cscw.bsky.social @ozchi-conf.bsky.social #CHI2025 go.bsky.app/GN935Hq

In this paper we used our VR reading prototype Bookwander to deeply investigate the differences between being absorbed by a narrative and by a virtual environment, and what are the effects of VR visuals on imagining. #VR #MUM #reading

Nikola Kunzova presents our paper "Stories with Style: Narrative, Virtual, and Imaginary Spaces of Reading Fiction in Virtual Reality"(w/Adam Štěpánek, Daniel Echeverri, @langloisdk.bsky.social and @skriglstein.bsky.social ) at MUM www.mum-conf.org/2024/ on 2nd Dec. If you also there, happy to chat

It's been great to connect with so many people through starter packs. I couldn't find one for researchers working across HCI and health, so I've created one! Many are missing, please let me know if you would like to be added/removed or if you have any recommendations. #HCI #Health
