Modern society demands that people manage, communicate and interact with digital information and digitaldevices at an ever-increasing pace. The problem is not with the information itself, but rather with its sheervolume and the unwieldy ways now provided to present, exchange, view and interact with it. Consequently, theoverall objective of the Chair is to: design, develop and evaluate interactive technologies so that they supportthe everyday-world practices of how people view, represent, manage, and interact with information and howthey 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 denseand complex information spaces. The overall goal is to promote comprehension by providing people withappropriate 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 trulyintegral 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 theirsurrounding environment. Both themes are tightly intertwined: Interactive visualization considers thefundamental nature of information and how people can effectively interact with it through technology, whilefluid interaction considers how these technologies manifest themselves in ways that integrate with the everydaypractices 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 sponsorshipthat includes an Industrial Chair co-funded by SMART Technologies, Inc. and Alberta's AITF agency.

现代社会要求人们以越来越快的速度管理、交流和交互数字信息和数字设备。问题不在于信息本身，而在于信息量太大，以及目前提供的介绍、交流、查看和互动方式太笨拙。因此，主席的总体目标是：设计、开发和评估交互式技术，以便它们支持人们如何看待、表示、管理并与信息互动，以及他们如何与信息合作。主席将通过两个相互关联的研究主题实现这一目标。首先，交互式可视化研究了数字世界为人们探索密集和复杂的信息空间提供的可能性。总体目标是通过为人们提供适当的交互技术和数字显示来帮助他们将信息转化为知识，从而促进理解。其次，流体交互考虑了如何将显示信息的技术设计成真实的世界环境的一个真正的组成部分。总体目标是创造新的显示器和设备，以适应，支持和参与-而不是忽视-人们及其周围环境的日常社会实践。这两个主题紧密交织在一起：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有效地与信息交互，whilefluid interaction考虑这些技术如何以与人们的日常实践和惯例相结合的方式表现出来。这项研究将利用Carpendale在为交互技术创造新颖设计方面的专业知识。她与她的合作历史悠久，工业赞助商SMART Technologies，ULC是一个包括由SMART Technologies，Inc.共同资助的工业主席的联盟。和阿尔伯塔的AITF机构。
