the Data Visualization Society's Nightingale journal just posted my article I wrote about the implications for visualization based on what I saw at the recent ACM User Interface Software & Technology (#UIST2022) symposium:

Marissa Mayer on the "Google tested 50 different shades of blue" story at #uist2022:

Google Search and Gmail were using two different shades of blue: Google Search a royal blue and Gmail's being a more aqua blue. Larry+Sergey hated the inconsistency and told the two orgs to pick one. But Search and Gmail were at loggerheads. So Marissa suggested that they just test them both, as well all the hex codes in between, to decide.

It was a political move, not a design one.

Apparently people are asking - so yes, I am looking for PhD students for this year at UW CSE! Probably not more than 1 or 2 people since our lab has grown but I'm always interested in folks who are excited by the idea of designing and building new kinds of social computing systems! Especially in this day and age *gestures around*, there's SO MUCH to do! Learn more about our lab at https://social.cs.washington.edu/

👉 This week at #UIST2022, we demonstrated our new technique for interacting with visualization overlays via continuous hand tracking in live webcam video, which got an honorable mention award for best paper. 🎖
