Frokost for forskere: Freeing content from displays og big data
På en kold gråvejrsdag i begyndelsen af oktober var en række forskere stimlet sammen i IVA's rum C.02. Forskerne skulle opdateres på cutting-edge viden indenfor deres faglige felt ved CCC's Brown Bag Seminars.
CCC (Centre for Communication and Computing) har netop lanceret konceptet 'Brown Bag Seminars'. I bedste tidsstyringsånd er idéen, at man én gang månedligt mødes med fagfæller og spiser frokost samtidig med, at man lytter til to foredrag.Extended Digitality – Freeing Content from Displays

Konceptet kan både udvides til små og store skærme og bruger et teoretisk grundlag fra blandt andet psykologien. Det er i sin spæde fase og står derfor stadig overfor ubesvarede problemstillinger. Hvordan skal brugeren fx få en fornemmelse for, hvor indhold er placeret, når det er uden for skærmen og brugeren ikke kan se det? Hvordan kan interaktion skelnes fra bevægelse.
Big data

Hvad får forskerne ud af det?
Elke Greifeneder:
The best presentations are the ones where one unexpectedly sees strong links to one’s own research. The Brown Bag Seminar was a great example of this. I probably would not have attended Christine's talk at a conference, because her research was not directly in my focus, but it suddenly became very relevant for my research when she reported about her experience on cleaning big data. It is good to know who has similar research interests or where research interest meet in your own faculty.
I only wish there would be a bit more time to have a longer discussion or more time for networking. Right now, we all meet in a room, but we barely know who was there and all left in a hurry.
Toine Bogers:
Inspiration, plain and simple. I like hearing talks by people from related fields to inspire me. Maybe they're using a method or tool that's new to me, but could be applicable to some of my research problems. Maybe they're attacking a different problem with tools I've used myself. I get inspired by hearing these talks. And who knows, maybe collaboration will come out of this!
