报告摘要：

Thanks to the availability of powerful miniaturized electronic components, this last decade has seen the popularization of small mobile devices such as smartphones, and even smaller devices for wearable computing. The unique advantages of these new devices (small size, always available) open a lot of new possibilities in terms of usage. However, these same advantages turn out to be limitations for interaction. The way users will interact with wearable devices greatly depends on the affordance of the devices but also on the context of use. This context will either reduce the attention available to interact with the device or constrain the gestures users can do for input. In the same way, the environment will degrade the transmission of information from the device to the user.  In this talk, we discuss factors that do affect the transmission of information from a wearable device to the users and how to potentially quantify the bandwidth of this human/computer channel

报告人简介：

Dr Simon Perrault is currently Assistant Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) since January 2019. Before that, he was a Visiting Professor at KAIST (Korea) in 2018 and Assistant Professor at Yale-NUS College (Singapore) from 2015 to 2018. He received his PhD in Computer Science in Telecom ParisTech (France) in April 2013, and joined the National University of Singapore (NUS) in December 2013 as a post-doctoral researcher. Dr Perrault’s research interest is in the area of Human Computer Interaction, and more specifically on mobile and wearable interaction. Because users carry their mobile and wearable devices at nearly any given time in a day, improving interaction between users and devices is a hard yet needed task.

By doing so, we aim to make users’ lives easier and enhance the quality of communication between users through their devices. In concrete terms, Dr Perrault designs new interaction techniques and wearable devices and tries to get a better understanding of human behaviour in mobile contexts.
