Professor Daniel Vogel at the Cheriton School of Computer Science, Professor Géry Casiez at France’s University of Lille, and researchers Mathieu Nancel and Sylvain Malacria at the Inria centre at the University of Lille, have been funded to create an Associate Team at Inria — France’s National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology. Inria’s Associate Team program fosters bilateral scientific collaboration on jointly defined scientific objectives for three years while promoting and strengthening partnerships with leading researchers abroad.
The research consortium, titled INPUT, is focused on re-designing the input pipeline in interactive systems. The international team will mentor two master’s and two PhD candidates across the two universities. Their project will explore input for real-time interaction — how input is sensed, how it is transformed, how it is used, and most importantly how to give control of input across all of these aspects back to users and interaction designers.
