Title: Toward Immersive Smart Spaces that Care: Computer Science and Creativity for a Science Fiction World.
Abstract: Ours is a fantastic time, filled with advancements driven by computer science, enabling artificial intelligence, world sensing and control, and deep immersive connections to become possible. We are on the cusp of converging revolutions that transform our relationship to the world around us in exciting ways. New possibilities open for computer scientists to embrace design-science and new forms of creation with technology. This talk is about where these themes meet for our everyday environments, with a focus on designing mixed reality smart-spaces that will eventually come alive. Join me in this conversation about a future where science fiction becomes reality.
