Matthias Tschöp highlights in his inaugural address at the @lmumuenchen.bsky.social the importance of science - of all sciences. research needs freedom! scientists need space for exploration and curiosity - without knowing the applications. Excellent research is hard work.

Jan Gugenheimer run a session on “Cognitive Augmentation and Manipulation” looking at different way LLMs and genAI in combination with AR/WR push the frontiers of descriptive designs … including a black mirror writing exercise :)

Mentoring is essential to academic live! @jasmin_niess is running our #winterschool2026 mentoring session - especially focusing on how we find mentors, can you benefit from mentoring and how you can be a good mentor. Mentoring newer stops… you never grow out of needing a mentor

Jan Leusmann kicked off the second part of #winterschool2026. @jasmin_niess discussed how we can engage with theory and advance the HCI foundations. What is theory-based research in HCI? It is really important to reflect that HCI has a plurality of approaches in theory research.

What do you expect from your supervisor? What is a success PhD? What do I as supervisor expect? When is a PhD ready? We collected, discussed, consolidated in groups and looked to identify potential mismatches, alignments, and conflicts. So many interesting point #winterschool2026

Next session by Maximiliane Windl and Jan Leusmann on coding and creating scripts for data analysis with GenAI. fun group session. My take away is that empirical research will change massively in the future. #winterschool2026

How can you improve your experiment design with AI? Fiona Draxler gave us examples how to get started with using AI methods and experimental designs and mad us reflect with some exercise (see pictures). @fionadraxler

Matthias Schmidmaier started the day at #Winterschool2026 off with “Realtime Interaction with Intelligent Agents in User Research”. interesting to see how to implement a conversational agend with AI tools. discussion on implications of using conversational agends in HCI research.

Our winterschool 2026 started with a session on “Writing Research Papers with LLM” on improving abstracts. Looked at using LLMs to work with structured abstracts; how we would design a tool for Human-AI co-writing of high quality abstracts. Always fun to teach with @svenmayerhci

Pascal Knierim shared his research on VR training for Avalanche Rescue Training - what a fitting topic for the first night of the Winterschool. Good discussions on how to validate the VR learning success. See Pascal’s paper at ISMAR doi: 10.1109/ISMAR67309.2025.00139.

Will Brain Comp Interfaces BCIs really really change how we interact with data, do tasks, communicate with others? So exciting to discuss and speculate at future applications this with Rob Jacob and his group at Tufts. What will multimodal sensing of brain activity and ML change?
