Alright, I'm on the train home, which feels like the conclusion to my #MuC2024 @mucConf attendance. 🙂 It was a lot of fun again this year and I gotta make sure I can attend again in 2025.
My conferece schedule this time was noticeably workshop-heavy. That's in pretty stark contrast to back […]
Before I forget: high five to @GUPAVizePraesi for the prominent Mastodon link in his portion of the closing plenary slides. Let's keep growing this community! 😃 #MuC2024 #MuC2025 #HCI #UX
Finished up my #MuC2024 conference lunch, heading back to the hotel next and then to the train station. 🙂 Next year's #MuC2025 feat. @tucmi should be cool, looking forward to the organizers' ideas that were hinted at in the closing session.
Last #MuC2024 day! Today's the only paper session I'm able to catch, and it is the one with the most co-authors active on here:
* “Beyond Textbooks: A Study on Supporting Learning of Molecule Naming in a Virtual Reality Environment” co-authored by @viktoriaPammerSchindler
* “Hands-free […]
My last #MuC2024 activity of the day (I skipped the evening socializing) was this panel on (in-)accessibility of academia: https://muc2024.mensch-und-computer.de/en/dei-a-panel/ co-run by @pascoda and with @lavolsky on stage among others. It covered a lot of interesting ground that I'm finding […]
My presentation in the Urban Future workshop at #MuC2024 went well, despite stretching the time limit. If you missed it, you can find a prerecorded video version with optional subtitles in German and English, as well as the presentation slides, on my website with the position paper […]

14:00 Paper session "Automated Futures" - this one's a maybe. Curious about "Von Partizipation zu […]
I was going to be posting more about my #MuC2024 adventures today, but that typical conference thing happened where I kept meeting old and new friends and spent all the breaks happily chatting with no time to look at social media. 😖
After the Student Research Competition (amusing highlight […]
Next up for me: #MuC2024 Student Research Competition in building 40.50 room 104. Starting now. 🙂
I tried to nudge some of my recently supervised thesis authors (https://fietkau.science/teaching#supervised_theses towards it, but got no takers. Let's see what #HCI students from elsewhere are […]
#MuC2024 Solid keynote by Kaspar Hornbæek. While his core thesis (#HCI should on average engage more deeply and critically with theory), I think a stronger focus on individual positive examples of such work instead of just its quantitative rarity (lots of slides were spent on negative examples) […]
#MuC2024 @mucConf PSA and reminder: I posted a list of all presenters and co-organizers with fedi accounts (that I could find) at https://muc2024meetup.hci-workshop.com/#program if you're looking for #HCI people in Europe to follow. 🙂

Good morning! 🌞 After a negative COVID test and a nice breakfast, I'm off to the #MuC2024 opening keynote. Letting myself be surprised there, didn't research who's presenting.
I can't help but feel I lucked out with the hotel that the travel department […]

Settled into my Hotel in Karlsruhe for #MuC2024 and finished last preparations for tomorrow's presentation about a human-centered perspective on #HCI studies involving body tracking sensors (Kinect etc).
This is in the context of a research methods workshop […]

Preemptive heads up: I will participate in Mensch und Computer 2024 #MuC2024 @mucConf from tomorrow until Wednesday. 🙂 It's an academic conference on human-computer interaction, the subject of my day job: https://muc2024.mensch-und-computer.de/en/
If you were already following me last year […]
One of my two workshop publications for #MuC2024 is public as of today – the workshop organizers put them on their website, so I figure I'll follow suit. 😄
Julian Fietkau & Jan Schwarzer: Herausforderungen menschengerechter Forschung mit Body-Tracking-Sensoren in Langzeit-Feldstudien […]
Who else will be at Mensch und Computer 2024? #MuC2024 @mucConf

I've recently finished my volunteer work as an Associate Chair for the short paper track at #MuC2024 @mucConf, my first experience in such a position. 🙂 What did I learn?
(1) I leaned into my Mastodon connections to recruit qualified #HCI reviewers, which worked well! 👏 However ...
(2) […]

I've been kinda quiet online lately because I've had my nose to the grindstone with last-minute #MuC2024 work for the upcoming short paper and workshop contribution deadlines.
Yesterday I admitted to myself that the short paper won't be submittable by Tuesday. I'm exploring plans B and C to make…
