Odd Interactions is a playful and exploratory HCI
(Human-Computer-Interaction) design practice in development. The practice
aims to expand the possibilities of interaction design at early development
stages, uncovering potentially more appropriate, though unconventional,
ways to interact with technology.
In the lecture, we will discuss what this process of Odd Interactions is,
as well as some specific examples of Odd Interactions including tricking
voice recognition systems to encourage creative thinking in times of
possible surveillance, a licking-based interaction that encourages
everybody to engage in a more accessible type of interaction, or a mask
that reads your thoughts and can communicate with your lunch partner while
you eat. This talk will be *held in English*. There will be a follow-up
workshop <https://metalab.at/wiki/OddInteractions> on June 29th, 14:00.
