Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University #cmuhcii
We apply HCI methods to solve real-world problems.
Congratulations to #ACMFellow Brad A. Myers of Carnegie Mellon for receiving the 2025 CBI Human-Computer Interaction (#HCI) History Prize!
Myers was honored for his book, Pick, Click, Flick!: The Story of Interaction Techniques (#ACMBooks, 2024)—a landmark work exploring the evolution of how we interact with computers.
Described as “a reflective and highly impressive monument of a book,” it’s a must-read for anyone passionate about HCI.
👏 Well-deserved recognition!
Our next #HCIISeminarSeries guest is David Widder @davidthewid, postdoctoral fellow at Cornell Tech Digital Life Initiative (and
@scsatcmu.bsky.social
alumnus)! Join us.

really nice to host Ming Yin today at @cmuhcii -- if you haven't see her work, she has a really nice set of results that speak to when people trust (or distrust) AI, how they're right/wrong, and how we might design interventions to do better together
We're looking forward to hosting @asb for this talk tomorrow.
