The ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST) is the premier forum for innovations in human-computer interfaces. Sponsored by ACM special interest groups on computer-human interaction (SIGCHI) and computer graphics (SIGGRAPH), UIST brings together people from diverse areas including graphical & web user interfaces, tangible & ubiquitous computing, virtual & augmented reality, multimedia, new input & output devices, Human-Centered AI, and CSCW. The intimate size and intensive program make UIST an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and ideas.

UIST 2024 will be held at the Westin Hotel, located in downtown Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Nestled at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, Pittsburgh is a captivating blend of industrial charm and modern vibrancy. This iconic American city has transformed from a steel-city powerhouse into a thriving cultural and technology hub, with stunning architecture, riverfront parks, world-class museums and universities, and vibrant entertainment and culinary options.
This year, UIST is co-located with HCOMP 2024 (October 16-19, 2024).
UIST 2024 is intended to be an in-person conference. There will be no separate virtual attendance registration option; all registrations are for in-person attendance. There will also be no online or virtual aspect to the popular Demo session.
Raj Reddy is a University Professor of Computer Science and Robotics and Moza Bint Nasser Chair in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where he served as the founding Director of the Robotics Institute and as the Dean of the School of Computer Science. He served as co-chair of the President’s Information Technology Advisory Committee and has been awarded 13 honorary doctorates. Dr. Reddy is the recipient of the Legion of Honor, Padma Bhushan, Honda Prize, Vannevar Bush Award, and the 1994 Turing Award (jointly with Edward Feigenbaum) “for pioneering the design and construction of large-scale artificial intelligence systems, demonstrating the practical importance and potential commercial impact of artificial intelligence technology.”
Yaser Sheikh is the Vice President and founding director of the Meta Reality Lab in Pittsburgh, devoted to achieving photorealistic social interactions in augmented and virtual reality. He is a consulting professor at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, where he directed the Perceptual Computing Lab producing OpenPose and the Panoptic Studio. His research broadly focuses on machine perception and rendering of social behavior, spanning sub-disciplines in computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning. He has served as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) and has regularly served as a senior program committee member for SIGGRAPH, CVPR, and ICCV. His research has been featured by various news and media outlets including The New York Times, BBC, CBS, WIRED, and The Verge. With colleagues and students, he has won the Hillman Fellowship (2004), Honda Initiation Award (2010), Popular Science’s “Best of What’s New” Award(2014), as well as several conference best paper and demo awards (CVPR, ECCV, WACV, ICML).
This will be at 7pm on 15th October at Omni William Penn Hotel.
