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.

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，而在于其庞大的信息量，以及现在提供的呈现、交换、查看和互动的笨拙方式。因此，主席的**总体目标是：设计、开发和评估交互技术，以便它们支持**人们如何查看、表示、管理和互动信息以及如何**与信息协作的日常实践。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来促进理解。**第二，流体交互考虑如何将显示这些信息的技术设计为真实世界环境中真正**不可或缺的一部分。总体目标是创造新的显示器和设备，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。这两个主题都紧密交织在一起：交互式可视化研究**信息的基本性质，以及人们如何通过技术有效地与信息互动，而**流体交互研究这些技术是如何以与人们的日常**实践和例行公事相结合的方式表现出来的。**这项研究将利用卡佩莱尔在创造交互式技术的新设计方面的专业知识。**她与她的行业赞助商SMART Technologies，ULC有着丰富的合作历史，是一家赞助商**，其中包括由SMART Technologies Inc.和艾伯塔省的AITF机构共同资助的一把工业椅子。
