WORKSHOP: Student Innovation Challenge at User Interface Software and Technology 2019

这笔资金将用于支持将在2019年ACM用户界面软件与技术研讨会(UIST 2019)上举办的学生创新大赛(研讨会)。UIST会议由ACM人机交互特别兴趣小组(SIGCHI)和计算机图形和交互技术特别兴趣小组(SIGGRAPH)共同主办，是人机界面创新的主要论坛。这些会议汇集了来自不同领域的人们，包括图形和网络用户界面、有形和无处不在的计算、虚拟和增强现实、多媒体、新的输入和输出设备以及CSCW。来自学术界和产业界的研究人员和开发人员将会面，就与这些领域相关的新硬件和/或软件进展交换意见并提交报告。UIST 2019将于10月20日至23日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行。有关今年会议的更多信息，请访问http://uist.acm.org/uist2019/.。学生创新大赛的目的是促进来自不同背景的学生和初级研究人员的参与，因为它很容易获得，而且在会议上具有很高的知名度。这笔资金将补充现有的学生创新大赛项目，该项目是产业界(提供硬件和软件)和学术界(提供总体框架和指导)之间的合作项目。组织者希望增加这次会议对学生和研究人员的吸引力，这些学生和研究人员来自目前代表性不足的社会经济群体。为此，这些资金将用于支持美国学生的旅费和会议费，这些学生来自原本缺乏足够经济能力参加会议的团体。组织者将致力于包括来自不同文化和机构背景的团队，性别代表性平等。为了进一步增加参与者的社会经济多样性，所申请的资金将允许每个教育机构只提供一个团队的财政支持。学生创新大赛将有助于形成未来旨在促进人机界面技术进步的研究项目。这次活动将促进这一跨学科领域的新研究人员之间的学术研究和网络联系。大赛将给予学生和新研究人员对他们工作的建设性反馈，并将使这些有前途的年轻研究人员接触到更广泛的国际社会。建设这个社区的一个关键组成部分是通过年轻人。学生创新大赛将来自不同背景(如工程、计算、设计、建筑)的学生聚集在一起，让他们可以看到更广泛的研究和开发方法。在比赛中，学生将获得开发创新系统的特定硬件，并在UIST 2019上展示他们的工作作为演示。大赛的目的是让有前途的学生和年轻的研究人员通过一个晚上的活动在国际知名的会议上展示他们的工作和技术技能，并收集该领域专家的反馈，接触到人机交互领域的研究人员和从业人员的大型网络，并建立和扩大他们自己的网络，使这些初级研究人员能够参加整个UIST 2019大会，并为新一代研究人员提供关于学术、研究、工业和非传统职业道路的信息和建议。学生创新大赛将为学生参与者提供一个机会，向大量国际知名的人机交互专家展示他们的技术和创意技能，并建立一个包括研究人员和实践者在内的同行网络。该活动还将为参赛团队提供参加完整会议的机会，并允许他们探索组成UIST社区的研究的多样性。将对学生创新大赛及其组织进行评估，评估结果将提供给未来会议的组织者。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This is funding to support a Student Innovation Contest (workshop) to be held at the 2019 ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST 2019). Cosponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) and the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH), the UIST conferences are the premier forum for innovations in human-computer interfaces. The conferences bring together people from diverse areas including graphical and web user interfaces, tangible and ubiquitous computing, virtual and augmented reality, multimedia, new input and output devices, and CSCW. Researchers and developers, from both academia and industry, meet to exchange ideas and present reports on new hardware and/or software advances related to these areas. UIST 2019 will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana on October 20 -23. More information about this year's conference is available online at http://uist.acm.org/uist2019/. The Student Innovation Contest is intended to serve as a catalyst to increase participation of students and junior researchers from diverse backgrounds, due to its accessibility and strong visibility at the conference. This funding will supplement the existing program of the Student Innovation Contest, which is a collaboration between industry (supplying hardware and software) and academia (supplying the general framing and mentoring). The organizers want to increase the attractiveness of the conference for students and researchers from currently underrepresented socio-economic groups. To this end, these funds will be used to support travel and conference expenses of U.S.-based students from groups that would otherwise lack sufficient means to attend. The organizers will aim to include teams from diverse cultural and institutional backgrounds, with equal representation of genders. To further increase participant socio-economic diversity, the requested funds will allow the financial support of only one team per educational institution.The Student Innovation Contest will help shape future research projects aimed at technologicaladvancement in HCI. The event will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in this interdisciplinary area. The contest will give students and new researchers constructive feedback on their work, and will expose these promising young researchers to a larger international community. A key component of building this community is through its youth. The Student Innovation Contest brings students together from various backgrounds (e.g., engineering, computing, design, architecture) so that they can see the broader spectrum of research and development approaches. For the contest, students will receive specific hardware to develop innovative systems and showcase their work at UIST 2019 as demonstrations. The contest's objectives are to allow promising students and young researchers to showcase their work and technical skills at an internationally renowned conference through an evening-long event and gather feedback from experts in the field, to get access to a large network of researchers and practitioners in the field of HCI and build and expand their own network, to enable these junior researchers to attend the entirety of the UIST 2019 conference, and to support a new generation of researchers with information and advice on academic, research, industrial, and nontraditional career paths. The Student Innovation Contest will provide an opportunity for student participants to demonstrate their technical and creative skills to a large number of internationally renowned HCI experts, and to create a network of peers that includes both researchers and practitioners. The event will also offer participating teams the opportunity to attend the full conference and allow them to explore the diversity of the research that composes the UIST community. Evaluation of the Student Innovation Contest, and its organization, will be conducted, and the results of the evaluation will be made available to the organizers of future conferences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
