Present Drawing: Exploring Avatar-Mediated Drawing Events with Physical Traces
We introduce Present Drawing, an approach for staging an avatar-mediated drawing event that leaves physical traces in the real world.Virtual Placebo: a scoping review of control conditions in randomized controlled trials of psychological immersive virtual reality interventions
Research on immersive virtual reality (IVR) as a therapeutic tool is growing rapidly, with randomized controlled trials (RCTs) now commonplace.From Perception to Pixels: Human-Derived Visually Distinct Colors for Improved Dominant Color Extraction
Dominant color extraction is a fundamental task in computer vision, with applications in design, image retrieval, and content recommendation.From Regulation to Engineering: Organizational Privacy Climate as Mediator
Data protection legislation aims to protect privacy rights by regulating how information systems store and process personal information.Political sense-making in "individual" human-technology-world relations: the case of LLM-generated autobiographies
As AI systems increasingly mediate how people describe, recognize, and present themselves, their politics cannot be reduced to what remains hidden inside the "black box.EMG Tokenization Preserves Movement Information at a Fraction of the Bitrate
Wireless electromyography (EMG) interfaces must balance electrode coverage against transmission bandwidth.SPOOK: Sparse Pixel Optimization for Off-Manifold Knowledge in Vision Encoders
Modern vision encoders are widely used as semantic representations, but the relationship between embedding similarity and human-visible semantics can become unclear far from the natural-image…Beyond pass or fail: an information-processing account of the Turing Test
The Turing Test is passed when a human interrogator cannot distinguish machine-generated responses from human ones.When Should I Trust This? Designing and Evaluating Factuality Indicators for LLM-based Chatbots
Generative AI systems increasingly mediate how people seek information, yet communicating AI factuality to laypeople remains challenging.Eye Tracking Signal Quality Evaluation: Meta Quest Pro vs HTC VIVE Pro Eye vs HTC VIVE Focus Vision
Gaze research in virtual reality needs eye trackers of known error.STROKE: Simple Sparse Structural Occlusions for Black-Box Adversarial Attacks
We introduce STROKE, a query-efficient score-based black-box adversarial attack that constructs perturbations from simple oriented rectangular occlusions.Runtime BiDi Structural Verification Catches Right-to-Left Layout Defects that Accessibility, Actionability, and Logical-Property Linting Miss
Bidirectional (right-to-left, RTL) layout defects arise when interfaces authored with physical directional CSS (margin-left, border-left, text-align:left) are rendered under dir="rtl" without being…Measure Before You Train: Typed Decision Models vs. a Classical Baseline vs. a Generative LLM for Routing a Personal Multilingual Inbox
Personal email agents decide, for every message, what it is, whether it is urgent, whether to draft a reply, create a task, or ignore it.GlanceAR: Repurposing Phone Sensors via Low-Cost Reflectors for Always-On Obstacle Awareness
Smartphone use while walking reduces environmental awareness and can lead to accidents and injury, yet existing obstacle-awareness systems remain unadopted because they require users to hold the…Whale You Go Green? Immediate and Longitudinal Effects of Embodied Conversational AI Avatars on Sustainable Behavioral Tendencies and Pro-Environmental Attitudes
Embodied conversational AI can be persuasive, but can it motivate people to develop sustainable behavioral tendencies and increase pro-environmental attitudes?The As-If Machine: Personalized counterfactuals make distant policy risks feel close
Life experiences can shape policy attitudes, but we only live one life.Atlas: Making Sense of Long Horizon Agent Trajectories
AI agents can now search literature, generate hypotheses, analyze datasets, and run experiments at a scale difficult for researchers to match.Beyond Better Ideas: How Human-AI Collaboration Shapes Scientific Ideas and Human Perceptions
As AI increasingly becomes a collaborator in scientific research, its impact may extend beyond improving ideas to reshaping how they are evaluated, attributed, and perceived by humans.Impacts of generative AI skill development on academic adaptation and learning outcomes among university students
Understanding how university students perceive the development of their generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) skills over time can clarify how GenAI use relates to learning and academic outcomes.PATH: Preference-Aware Traversability Estimation for Robotic Teleoperation in Off-Road Navigation
Traversability estimation is critical for ground vehicle teleoperation, yet existing methods often neglect the human operator's preferences for speed and risk tolerance.
