CHI day 4 aka the end!

The last day of CHI in Seoul left everyone with that bittersweet taste of ending mixed with nostalgia and, was still a great day to see great research!

For me, the day started off with Augmented & Virtual Reality in the Real World (VR is here to stay!) and followed onto Interacting with Floors & Situated Displays (have you seen BaseLase? Check that video or the image below, quite an interesting approach to a portable large screen).

The last session of the CHI spectrum this year was Speech & Auditory Interfaces, which focused on lots of abstract sound UIs — really nice works there, go check it out if you are into sonic interaction. After this it was time for the closing keynote, by pop musician Psy. A local hero in mainstream Korea for obvious reasons and a humble speaker that decided to allude to his career build up and share lots of his personal insights with the HCI audience. At last, the next CHI was announced… see you all in San Jose for CHI’16!
