They were over the moon. Apparently this is so unusual in our busy lives. We congratulate people in person after seminars or talks, but we don't email strangers for that. I would like to encourage everyone to do that. It takes 3 minutes! Scientists are also human -sometimes 😉

The decision to bring back the 10 page limit for @ACMUIST #UIST2026 was a genius move—it is much more enjoyable now to review papers, at scale, than it was before. (And, fitting figures in isn't so bad as long as usage of the Appendix isn't frowned upon.) Thank you, PC chairs.

ACM CHI Conference
ACM CHI Conference@acm_chi·
Tamar Makin & Dani Clode gave us an amazing closing keynote on With, Not For: Rethinking the Body (and Brain?) in Augmented Interaction at #chi2026! Across neuroscience and design, they argue for a shift from imitating the biological body to working with it.

The most interesting question some folks asked me at #CHI2026 was: "did you not do a video with all the lab's paper this year?" Indeed, given the chairing work, I wasn't able too, but the enthusiasm of these folks helped me do it now 🙏! Here you go: youtube.com/watch?v=4VVtHG…

@julianboolean_ This is likely not correct. I doubt that complex/massive type of predictive processing is not going back to the retina (though some simple motion tracking could be happening, see nature.com/articles/s4159… but it could be local too). P.s. not a vision scientist here
