Professor Matthew Chalmers

简介

Matthew Chalmers is a Professor of Computer Science, working in human computer interaction (HCI), ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) and information visualisation. Half of his career has been in industrial research labs, extending back over 20 years to work at Xerox on the first ubicomp systems, Active Badges, and founding the visualisation group at UBS Ubilab. He borrows from philosophy, biology and other disciplines in order to feed into the design and theory of computer systems, especially mobile and ubiquitous computing—most recently, phone apps for health. His work combines theory, application design and infrastructure, e.g. establishing seamful design, in which limits and gaps in infrastructure are made into resources for users, and advancing mobile games as a vehicle for computer scienc
