Call for Participants - Expert Workshop - Design Interfaces to Collaborate with Your Future Self
We are human-computer interaction researchers from the Creativity Lab, UC San Diego. We work on novel interaction techniques and systems that broadly support creative works and information management & understanding.

We are developing a new AI-based system for people to collaborate with their future and past selves. We develop mechanisms to capture their thoughts, insights, and information in a way that allows them to meaningfully manage, retrieve, and interact with this personal knowledge over time.

To deepen our understanding of the problem and guide the design and development of the system, we are hosting an expert workshop with experienced artists, designers, and system builders to learn, discuss, and brainstorm potential opportunities and design directions.

If you're interested, please fill out the form below, and we’ll contact you shortly if there's a match. The workshop will be around one hour. Participants will receive a $30 Amazon gift card as a token of appreciation for their time and involvement.
