There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: This talk will discuss how everyday materials and familiar objects can be transformed.
Full Summary: This talk will present recent work in integrating paper and recycled materials, discuss development of computational design tools, and describe how everyday materials can expand and empower designers and learners.
HyunJoo OhAbstract:
Look around at some of the familiar objects and materials in your surroundings. These things can be transformed. By combining everyday materials with computing, we can extend and reimagine their expressive and functional possibilities. We can also invite people to explore a new design space through making. In this talk, HyunJoo will present her recent work in integrating paper and recycled materials with computing and discuss a suite of computational design tools her research team has developed. She will describe how combinations of everyday materials with computation can expand creative possibilities while leveraging familiarity to empower designers and learners.
Speaker Bio:
HyunJoo Oh is an assistant professor with a joint appointment in the School of Industrial Design and the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. Working at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Design, she develops computational design tools that integrate everyday materials with computing. Her work investigates fundamental questions on how people see and think, and make, in particular how those are closely linked and shape each other. Her work has been published and exhibited at ACM SIGCHI conferences such as CHI, TEI, and DIS, and featured in venues including CNET and Maker Ed.
