As artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and Big Data rise in popularity, several interesting challenges come to light. Many of the challenges belong to fundamental areas that determine not only the development of the emerging technology itself but also the future of humanity.
Today, technology increasingly permeates our environment but the spread of digital displays makes us more susceptible to passive viewership. What if we could combine the benefits of modern technology and traditional paper to empower communication and creativity? In this talk, Dr. Pao will present the interdisciplinary research, including a system that explores new affordances for pens that become an interface to transcend the boundaries of paper through a series of gesture interactions. Potential applications range from collaborative workspaces to participatory art experiences. Issues relating to create process, sharing and privacy, and usability are examined in light of the interactive nature of the system.
Another metaphor of “paper” is academic publication. In this talk, Dr. Pao will also take us to a journey of academia research that goes “beyond the boundaries of paper.” We now live in a world of global entrepreneurship. She will reveal real-world cases about the development of AI and technology-driven research from a new perspective of entrepreneurship in academia research, from conceptualization to actual deployment, with impact on future creativity, education, and interdisciplinary research.
