CHI 2019 Keynote - Ivan Poupyrev: Technology Woven In HD

CHI 2019 Closing Keynote - Ivan Poupyrev Technology Woven In ABSTRACT The digital revolution has changed every aspect of our lives, the very essence of how we live, work and play. Instead of creating an alternative cyber space parallel to our reality as it was often envisioned by techno prophets, the opposite is happening: information is no longer confined to the pixels on our screens. The entire physical world — even living and breathing matter — is being infused with data, demanding new, unprecedented forms of interactivity. In this talk, Ivan Poupyrev will discuss his explorations of the present and the future where technology, connectivity and intelligence are woven into the very fabric of our lives. The vision of the world as an interface where everything is connected and interactive will be discussed through a lens of projects that cover over 20 years of research and that spans a variety of fields from augmented and virtual reality, haptics and touch interfaces, to novel sensors and manufacturing techniques. The talk will present his most recent explorations in creating a pico-radar sensor for touchless gesture interaction (Project Soli), and designing a platform for manufacturing interactive, connected soft goods at scale (Project Jacquard). ABOUT Dr Ivan Poupyrev is award-winning technology leader, scientist and designer working at the cutting edge of interactive technologies. Over the last 20 years he has been leading the invention, development and productization of breakthrough technologies that span a variety of fields such as VR and AR, haptic interaction, wearables and smart garments, 3D printing and novel manufacturing techniques among many others. Ivan is currently Director of Engineering in Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects division where he leads a team focused on inventing and developing interaction technologies and products for future digital lifestyle. Prior to Google he was Principal Research Scientist at Walt Disney Research and at Sony Corporate Research laboratories. His work has been published in leading scientific conferences such as SIGGRAPH, CHI and UIST among others; received critical acclaim in the press internationally; has been recognized with numerous awards and released on the market in commercial products. His most recent work was acquired by the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt Design Museum for its permanent collection. Fast Company recognized him as one of the World’s 100 Most Creative People, describing him as “one of the world’s greatest interaction designers.” WEB:: https://chi2019.acm.org/for-attendees/keynotes/ Recorded at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2019, May 4- 9 2019, Glasgow, Scotland, UK
