New #CHI2026 paper: “How are Vibrotactile Experiences Visually Represented? A Taxonomy of Illustration Characteristics”

We analyzed hundreds of images from research articles to uncover how vibrotactile experiences are visually represented and synthesized their features into a comprehensive taxonomy.

preprint: https://hal.science/hal-05488387/

This work received a Best Paper Award at #CHI2026

Die Studie "Rassismus in deutschen Institutionen und institutioneller Rassismus in Deutschland" ist erschienen. Der Bundesinnenminister möchte sie gerne verschweigen.

Once you realize it’s not “age verification”, but actually “identity verification”, then it’s easy to understand that the real goal is “papers, please” for the entire internet.

Everyone is crying because of the price of the RAM, but this event must be seen as an excuse to finally take care about optimizing your software.

Großartige Idee: Neue Kurzantwort auf Slop: ai;dr

I cannot be bothered to read or listen to AI slop! Commenting "ai;dr" means “AI; didn’t read”. It is to inform low-quality shitposters that their lame, low-effort “AI” post will not be read. “tl;dr" is internet speak for “too long; didn’t read”. "ai;dr" is internet speak for "AI; didn't read".
