#WorldSmith conceptualizes two expressive prompting techniques for #generativeAI: hierarchical prompting (which attaches prompts to different layers of the composition) and spatial prompting (allowing users to specify spatial relations through direct input).

The progress is tracked in an interactive graph, offering a dynamic way to explore and evolve their creations. 🔍🔄

Images can be blended together to form one cohesive depiction of a fictional world.

WorldSmith is a novel UI & workflow for creators to composite scenes using iterative, multi-modal prompts for #generativeAI. 🖼️✨ It allows creators to specify their intent through text, sketching, or region-based input. 🎨

Creating images of imaginative worlds using generative AI can be a challenge to control using text-to-image alone. At #uist2023 Hai Dang will present #WorldSmith today, work we did while he was interning with us at Autodesk Research in Toronto (with @fraseranderson, George Fitzmaurice, and me).

Putting it out there so I keep myself accountable: I'll be doing #AdventOfCode this year. Meant to participate for a few years, but @drmaxlwilson's Toot a few days ago reminded me of it.

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:

📣 We're ✊🏽 striking ✊🏽 across UK universities in the coming days.

Nationally, while they make billions 💰💷, universities continue to drive impossible workloads; rely on gig-like exploitative contracts; and are reducing pensions – hitting all but impacting those beginning their careers the most.

We need change!

Universities must start valuing those who have put so much into building the Academy!

#solidarity to our friends across higherEd worldwide
