Come see our @ADSKResearch project: Experiential Views in which we explored a method of helping architects and designers predict how people might experience their designed spaces using Vision-Language Models on Wednesday’s poster session #CHI2024 research.autodesk.com/publications/e…
Excited to be at #CHI2025! In our paper "Paratrouper," we explore how AI-driven image-generation techniques can empower creatives to explore a variety of visual design possibilities for casts of characters. 💖🐸🦜👩🚀🧙♀️🎭💖 @ADSKResearch @UofT @medialab @FluidInterfaces 🧵(1/6)
Come do an internship w/ the HCI&Vis team @ADSKResearch Toronto We’re looking for a grad-level research intern this summer for a project related to uncertainty vis, sustainability in the architecture, engineering, & construction industry, & AI/LLMs autodesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/uni/job/…
Come do an internship in the HCI and Visualisation team at Autodesk Research (@ADSKResearch)! We're particularly looking for applicants with experience in HCI+AI, creativity support, AR/VR, data vis, novel interaction techniques, and more. Questions? Ask! autodesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/uni/job/San-Fr…
I'm a bit surprised that panels and lifetime awards at #CHI2024 don't get recorded. It's really sad because those are the types of talks you don't get to see anywhere else and there's so much knowledge to absorb from them!
Super excited to be at #CHI2024 Come say hi and look for our full timers @bon_adriel @kendrawannamak1 @qianzhou_ Also be on the lookout for our awesome former interns presenting work done at @ADSKResearch @saelyne_yang and @JohannWentzel See you around!! :D
What does the future hold for creators? @ADSKResearch, we're championing democratized content creation. Be part of the conversation & learn how we worked with @Meta to explore accessible tools for all: bit.ly/463Ggk8 #AutodeskResearch #AU2023 #MakeAnything
The HCI and Visualization group at Autodesk Research (@ADSKResearch) is looking for graduate interns and postdocs to host in Toronto for 2024. We have a focus on HCI+AI, but also software learning, visualization, AR/VR, novel interaction techniques, creativity support, and more!
Delighted to present 3DALL-E: Integrating Text-to-Image-AI in at DIS’23 at CMU tomorrow in the Creating with AI session! This work was done with @jozilla, George Fitzmaurice, @JustinMatejka at Autodesk Research. arxiv.org/abs/2210.11603
So excited to be at @acmdis2023! Be on the lookout for former @ADSKResearch interns @_evgeny_s (VR session 11 am today) and @viv_lavida (AI session 4:30 pm tomorrow) #DIS2023
Really enjoyed watching the @makingwithdata panel at #CHI2023 - great breath of reflections at different levels on data physicalizations. I find it fascinating how consistently it was less about the artifacts and more about the processes behind their creation.

Excited to be at #CHI2023 - be on the lookout for us Autodesk Research folks - @kopfnuss @bon_adriel @qianzhou_
Today we had Prof. Yvonne Rogers over at @ADSKResearch to share her perspective on thinking with tools. I really enjoyed how she breaks down the kinds of thinking that take place and deliberately used them to create software that promotes those kinds of thoughts.
