Gamification Box: Automated Personalized Rewards for Improved Task Experience
We introduce a gamified rewarding system, called "Gamification Box", and conduct a user study to examine its effects on task experience and performance.Endless VR Walk: Dynamic Mapping of Limited Physical Spaces into Infinite Linear Paths
Natural locomotion in virtual reality (VR) can provide a more immersive and engaging experience, but the physical space required for unrestricted walking is a significant limitation.MaterialVellum: Steering Generative AI by Leveraging Expressive Material Affordances to Form Design Constraints
We present MaterialVellum, an interaction approach for steering generative AI through material-inspired manipulation of design constraints.Graphs Have Structure: Declarative Manifolds, 3D Z-Order Monoid Roll-ups, and Zero-Simulation Visual Analytics in a Graph DBMS
Every real-world graph is embedded in an ambient structural manifold: proteins fold in Euclidean space ($R^3$), telecom networks sit on a planetary surface ($S^2 \times R$), and ontologies and…Interface Quilt: Modifying Applications with Computer Use Agents and Generative UI
Modifying an existing application is difficult when it does not provide programmatic access for that change.Supporting Orthographic Recall of Chinese Characters through Self-Generated Compositional Mnemonic Stories: A Mixed-Methods Pilot Study
Mnemonic studies on Chinese characters have mostly tested provided mnemonics against writing outcomes and self-generated mnemonics against meaning recall; whether writing one's own component-based…Synthetic Realities: Evaluating Human Ability to Distinguish AIGenerated Videos from Real Footage
Recent advances in generative AI have enabled multiple pathways for high-fidelity video synthesis: text-to-video, image-to-video animation, and video outpainting.The Vibe Paradox: What EEG Reveals About Your Brain When Vibe Coding
Much of the enthusiasm for vibe coding rests on two intuitive beliefs: (1) that developers stay invested even when they no longer write the code, and (2) that delegating more of the work to AI…Measuring "Success" In the Transition from Pre- to Post-LLM Conversational Agents through the Lens of Interaction & Explanations for Older Adults
Conversational agents (CAs) for older adults have moved through at least two distinct eras, split by the emergence of large language models (LLMs) at the end of 2022.Capable but Not Scalable: Requirements and Interaction Costs of Building Multi-View CAD Datasets for Design Research
Transforming CAD models into consistent multi-view image datasets is increasingly important for AI-driven product design research, yet existing workflows can impose substantial burdens on…Harassment on TikTok: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Video Content and Psycholinguistic Comment Stances
Despite extensive research on harassment, how it manifests on short--form video platforms such as TikTok---and how it shapes user interactions---remains underexplored, though these dynamics are…User Engagement in Visualization: A Scoping Review of 243 Research Articles
User engagement is well studied in other domains.When the Text Is Silent: Memory Shortcuts and the Validity of LLM Annotation under Evidence Insufficiency
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to annotate text for social science research, content moderation, and training data.Do Social Influence Pressures Move LLM Agents? Evidence from Delegated Audit Judgment
Large language model (LLM) agents are rapidly being integrated into complex professional workflows such as auditing and entrusted with judgments under human review.MESSPa: A Multi-modal Embodiment Stimulation Shoulder Pad for Preserving the Sense of Agency in a Detachable Robotic Arm
Wearable robots such as supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) can augment human capability, but their effectiveness depends strongly on the operator's sense of embodiment, comprising the sense of…Conversational Interaction for LLM-Based Clinical Text-to-SQL: A User Study with Healthcare Professionals
Conversational text-to-SQL interfaces could give healthcare professionals natural-language access to electronic health record (EHR) data, but evidence for their real-world usability remains limited…Words Caught in the Heart: Simulating Person-Specific Expression for Self-Opaque Clients in Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy clients may experience distress before they can coherently describe it, and their expression changes with emotion, perceived safety, and trust.Spatial DJ: Spatial Audio Control for Arbitrary Loudspeaker Layouts
Object-based spatial audio promises render-anywhere playback, yet deploying it in a new venue still requires two tasks that are rarely addressed together: acquiring the physical loudspeaker geometry…From White Canes to Edge AI: A Survey of Assistive Navigation Technologies for Blind and Low-Vision Individuals
Independent mobility is a foundational requirement for the autonomy of blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals, yet the assistive technologies that support it have historically evolved slowly.HiPaper: A Human-AI Collaborative System for Academic Literature Triage and Scholarly Sensemaking
Scholarly sensemaking requires researchers to iteratively retrieve, collect, and synthesize literature as their understanding evolves.
