Inria Associate Teams not involved in an Inria International Labs

The MidWay Equipe Associée, Musical Interaction Design Workbench And technologY, was created in collaboration with the Input Devices and Music Interaction Technology (IDML) at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) at McGill University. The Principle investigator from Inria, Stéphane Huot, was promoted to a Research Director position at Inria Lille, so the projet is now based there, but members of ExSitu have continued to collaborate on the project. The NIME paper on evaluation is a first result from this collaboration [14] .

We are collaborating with Clemens Klokmose from University of Aarhus, Denmark, on our exploration of information substrates. This resulted in Webstrates [18] , which received a best paper award at ACM UIST'15.

We are working with Shumin Zhai from Google in Mountain View, California, on our project on “expressive keyboards”, which allows users to produce expressive output from “shapewriting” on soft keyboards.

We are working with Professor Bjoern Hartmann from U.C. Berkeley and will be starting an Inria Equipe Associée, called DECIBel, in 2016.

We are working with Professor Jürgen Steimele from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and Saarland University on paper electronics and have recently recruited one of his students as a Ph.D. candidate, Michael Wesseley.

We are working with Marco Gilles, Rebbecca Fiebrink and Atau Tanaka of Goldsmith's college in London, U.K. on Human-Centred Machine Learning, and will run a workshop together in 2016.

We are working with Kim Halkov and Peter Dalsgaard from Aarhus University, on blended interaction spaces.
