Kasper is doing his PhD at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University. His research interests include agency over self tracking and sleep technologies. His aim is to use the craft and practice of design as a research tool in human computer interaction. He has previously studied social presence in virtual agents in mixed reality settings. Kasper has an engineering degree in media technology, with a master in Computer Science from KTH , Royal Institute of Technology (2019), with time spent both at Keio in Tokyo (2015/2016) and Aalto University in Helsinki (2018). Besides studies he has three years of design work experience from the IT industry, working with graphical design, animation and user testing.
Working with humans is incredibly difficult for robots. This project aims to develop new ways for robots and intelligent agents to understand, interact with, and adapt to the complex and collaborative ways we humans work together to get through our everyday lives.
Smartwatches, fitness trackers and other wearables follow every step we take, and every move we make. We even take them to bed and let them track our sleep. This project explores how people interact with technology and hack traditional sleep schedules in order to make their lives work.
