Just confirmed, we will be having tours of UW's LUTE usability lab complete with eyetracking demo between 3 and 5pm on Thursday. We will have 3 or 4 tours of up to 10 people so space is very limited. We will post information on how to RSVP for a tour on the official website linked above. For now RSPV for this event to confirm your seat for the lectures starting at 5pm.
