The next Singapore HCI talk will be on Thursday, 22 August 2019 at Keio-NUS Cute Center.

Singapore HCI Talk: Designing Interactive Olfactory Experience in real context and applications (Cao Yan Yan)

WHEN: Thursday, 22 August 2019 @ 7pm (dinner served at 6pm)
WHERE: CUTE Center, ICube Building, #02-01-01 21 Heng Mui Keng Terrace
(dinner will be provided *before* the talk courtesy of CUTE Center)

Title:
Designing Interactive Olfactory Experience in real context and applications

Abstract:
Designing Interactive Olfactory Experience is an emerging topic in HCI using olfactory experience as a medium for interaction design. In this talk, the speaker will share about her recent workshop experience at TEI 19’, as co-organizer of the one day workshop on “Designing Interactive Olfactory Experience in real context and applications” (https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3295659). The talk will cover the characteristics of olfactory experience as a medium for interaction design, draw insights from related works, and show the approach of exploring contexts and real application as next phase of olfactory experience design. It will show the process that workshop participants have gone through, how they made prototypes with a toolkit designed for programming interactive olfactory experience.
 
Building upon her doctorate research and workshop experience, the speaker is interested in weaving and building a local community of researchers, practitioners in the field of interactive olfactory experience design, conduct further workshops and look forward to future collaborations in area not limited to immersive environment, architecture, well-being etc.
 
Bio:
Cao Yan Yan has design and research background in creating novel interactive digital interface and platforms, working in the intersection area of interaction design, IoT, Design Thinking, applying design methods in prototyping, ethnography and service design. She has recently co-organized workshop at TEI'19, USA and showcased Scented Pebbles –a dynamic ambience of smell and lighting at TEI '15 Art Exhibition. During her time working at Keio-NUS CUTE Center, she has collaborated with researchers on various projects including wearable computing, e-textile etc and taken part in planning and facilitation of Design Thinking workshops. She holds PhD in Media Design from Graduate School of Media Design, Keio University, Japan, and studied Interactive Telecommunication Program from New York University and Computer Science from University of Cambridge, U.K.
