Enrollment to Cheok's lecture and/or related UBINET doctoral seminar (see below) by Wed 23.9.2015 at http://goo.gl/forms/8C7hkE2kEB

A related UBINET seminar for doctoral students is offered (1 ects, see below).

Cheok's talk and demos outline new facilities that are arising in the hyperconnected internet era within human media spaces. This allows new embodied interaction between humans, species, and computation both socially and physically, with the aim of novel interactive communication and entertainment. Humans can develop new types of communication environments using all the senses, including touch, taste, and smell, which can increase support for multi-person multi-modal interaction and remote presence. In this talk, we present an alternative ubiquitous computing environment and space based on an integrated design of real and virtual worlds. We discuss some different research prototype systems for interactive communication, culture, and play.

Adrian Cheok is the Director of the recently established Imagineering Institute, Malaysia, and Professor of Pervasive Computing, in City University London. Cheok is an inspiring speaker and researcher focusing on novel interactions and interfaces. He has been working on research covering mixed reality, human-computer interfaces, wearable computers and ubiquitous computing, fuzzy systems, embedded systems, power electronics.
