Ubicomp, Touch and Gaze by Hans Gellersen

Abstract: Touch input and two-handed interaction were intensively studied in the mid 80′s but it’s taken 20 years for these ideas to emerge in the mainstream, with the advent of multi-touch interfaces. Gaze has been studied for almost as long as interaction modality and appears on the brink of wider use. This talk will present Ubicomp, Touch and Gaze by Hans Gellersen

Geometrisation of first-order logic

Dr. Roy Dyckhoff will give a talk titled, “Geometrisation of first-order logic”. Abstract: We show that every first-order theory T has a conservative extension G_T that is a geometric theory. Reasoning problems in T can therefore be replaced by problems in G_T, where the methods of geometric (aka ‘coherent’) logic are applicable. We discuss related Geometrisation of first-order logic
