Computer science team wins best paper award

Computer science professor Karon MacLean‘s team (post-doc Vincent Levesque, now at Immersion Corp. and master’s student Louise Oram) won best paper award at the 2012 IEEE Haptics Symposium, held in Vancouver, March 4-7.

Their paper, “Exploring the Design Space of Programmable Friction for Scrolling Interactions,” shows how novel interaction design methods can leverage new touch screen technologies to make them more useful and informative.
