Zhang’s papers are among 51 from University of Washington faculty and students accepted to this year’s conference, including 20 with authors from the Information School.
He’s the lead author on two other papers accepted to the conference and second author on another.
A paper on the project is one of four contributions from Zhang at ACM CHI 2022, the top international conference on human-computer interaction. TypeAnywhere uses sensors on people’s fingers to simulate the presence of a keyboard wherever they tap. In fact, TypeAnywhere is the name of a text entry tool created by Zhang and collaborators. candidate Mingrui “Ray” Zhang imagines a future like that - where we can type anywhere as if there were a keyboard at our fingertips. So you tap your fingers on your thighs and your smart glasses know exactly what you’re seeking. You try to remember the name of that movie, but it just won’t come to you.
