Guo's research combines human and artificial intelligence to make visual information more accessible. One example is touch screen overlays for people who are visually impaired. He also works on AI-based camera sensing that interprets the surrounding environment. He will join the University of Michigan as an assistant professor in January.

    Walter Lasecki's predatory behavior is completely unacceptable, I strongly condemn such behavior. It takes incredible courage for the survivors to come forward, and I stand with the survivors. I don't trust the OIE's decision and I think it's not fair. CSE must act and do better.

    Did my first virtual interview and this is the setup I used for the seminar talk. Main laptop+screen for presenting and screen sharing on Zoom; secondary laptop/screen for audience awareness by joining Zoom as observer. Hope this helps people doing remote interviews or teaching!
    Main laptop connected to external screen for presenting (sharing second screen via Zoom), and secondary laptop/screen for audience awareness (joining Zoom as observer; use “side by side view” in View Options, and Gallery view to see the whole audience).

    Popular depictions of AR & its possibilities all share a common weakness—they rely heavily on visual cues. @AnhongGuo is supported by the Google Research Scholar Program to develop techniques to enable blind users to access collaborative AR experiences. cse.engin.umich.edu/stories/design…
