NSERC/AITF/SMART Industrial Research Chair in Interactive Technologies

现代社会要求人们对数字化信息和数字化产品进行管理、交流和交互， 设备以不断增长的速度。问题不在于信息本身，而在于其纯粹的 卷和笨拙的方式，现在提供了展示，交流，查看和互动。因此， 主席的总体目标是：设计，开发和评估互动技术，使他们支持 人们如何查看、表示、管理信息和与信息交互的日常实践，以及人们如何 主席将通过两个相互关联的研究主题来实现这一目标。第一、 交互式可视化研究了数字世界为人们探索密集的 复杂的信息空间。总体目标是通过为人们提供 适当的互动技术和数字显示，帮助他们将信息转化为知识。 第二，流体交互考虑如何将显示这些信息的技术设计为真正的 真实的世界环境的组成部分。总体目标是创造新的显示器和设备， 支持和参与--而不是忽视--人们的日常社会实践及其 周边环境这两个主题是紧密交织在一起的：交互式可视化考虑了 信息的基本性质以及人们如何通过技术与信息有效互动， 流体交互考虑了这些技术如何以与日常生活相结合的方式表现出来 人们的习惯和惯例。 这项研究将利用Carpendale的专业知识，为互动技术创造新颖的设计。 她与工业赞助商SMART Technologies，ULC的悠久合作历史是一种赞助 其中包括由SMART Technologies，Inc.共同资助的工业主席。和阿尔伯塔的AITF机构。

Modern society demands that people manage, communicate and interact with digital information and digital devices at an ever-increasing pace. The problem is not with the information itself, but rather with its sheer volume and the unwieldy ways now provided to present, exchange, view and interact with it. Consequently, the overall objective of the Chair is to: design, develop and evaluate interactive technologies so that they support the everyday-world practices of how people view, represent, manage, and interact with information and how they collaborate with it. The Chair will realize this objective through two inter-related research themes. First, interactive visualization investigates the possibilities the digital world affords for peoples' exploration of dense and complex information spaces. The overall goal is to promote comprehension by providing people with appropriate interactive technologies and digital displays that help them transform information into knowledge. Second, fluid interaction considers how the technology that displays this information can be designed as a truly integral part of the real world environment. The overall goal is to create new displays and devices that fit, support and participate in - rather than ignore - the everyday-world social practices of people and their surrounding environment. Both themes are tightly intertwined: Interactive visualization considers the fundamental nature of information and how people can effectively interact with it through technology, while fluid interaction considers how these technologies manifest themselves in ways that integrate with the everyday practices and routines of people. This research will leverage Carpendale's expertise in the creation of novel designs for interactive technologies. Her strong history of collaboration with her industrial sponsor, SMART Technologies, ULC, is a sponsorship that includes an Industrial Chair co-funded by SMART Technologies, Inc. and Alberta's AITF agency.
