The next time you use your digital camera ๐Ÿ“ธ, spare a thought for the late Dr. Sung Kah Kay (middle, in white).

Dr. Sung โ€” Singaporean son and former Assistant Professor at #NUSComputing, created the face-detection algorithm used by digital cameras. It analyzes digital images to determine which pixels form a human face and is the reason why faces appear sharp in photos.

He invented this in 1996 for his Ph.D. thesis at MIT, but digital cameras only started to incorporate face detection 9 years later. Tragically, in a perverse twist of fate, Dr. Sung was killed when flight SQ 006 crashed at Taipeiโ€™s airport on the typhoon-battered night of 31st October 2000.

What is the difference between User Interface (UI) ๐Ÿฆพ and User Experience (UX) ๐Ÿ˜Œ?

UI refers to the method by which one interacts with a device ๐Ÿ–ฅ, application ๐Ÿ“ฑ or website ๐Ÿ’ป.

On the other hand, UX describes the sensations, emotions, and feelings one gets when interacting with a device ๐Ÿ–ฅ, application ๐Ÿ“ฑ or website ๐Ÿ’ป. Learning to recognise and leverage these concepts is a vital aspect of computer programming and tech design.

โžก๏ธ Check out some examples of great UX designs produced by #nuscomputing students here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1D17LfRfEnNmfwmJqpyBvHUzTbbQbz0iR_28auz52ZS4/edit#slide=id.g1872a8b0ea9_0_0

What do dinosaurs ๐Ÿฆ– and Nintendo Wii game controllers ๐ŸŽฎ have in common?

They are all products of exaptation, a process of repurposing products for functions other than their original purpose ๐Ÿ’ก.

And this is what inspired #NUSComputingโ€™s Asst. Prof Lim Shi Ying and Emory Universityโ€™s Chan Tian Heong to analyse ๐Ÿ”ฌ what members of the IKEA Hackers community are doing.

The results of their study have since been published in Management Science journal ๐Ÿ“š and prompted others to take a closer look at the problem-first approach.
