Quick follow up on my presentation for #HCII2025. While its always good to present, as the only remote presenter I kind of felt a bit left out. It was difficult to encourage human contact, especially as the time keeper was a bit cruel to include my friendly introductory small talk in my presentation time. Tip: dont do that! But, I spose some ppl just dont get the virtual/real world intersection and how to help bridge that gap. Ironically, it was an HCI conference 🤔😶
