WELDAR: Augmenting Live Hands-On Training with In-Situ Guidance for Novice Learners

Extended Reality (XR) systems for physical skill training have largely emphasized simulation rather than real-time in-situ instruction. We present WeldAR, an Augmented Reality (AR) system with five learning modules that overlays real-time guidance during live welding using a headset integrated into a welding helmet an…

Co-design Accessible Public Robots: Insights from People with Mobility Disability, Robotic Practitioners and Their Collaborations

Sidewalk robots are increasingly common across the globe. Yet, their operation on public paths poses challenges for people with mobility disabilities (PwMD) who face barriers to accessibility, such as insufficient curb cuts. We interviewed 15 PwMD to understand how they perceive sidewalk robots. Findings indicated tha…

SneezeLove: Embodying Cultural Superstitions in Connected Devices

Devices for remote communication and sending digital gestures have been widely explored in the field of ubiquitous computing. With the lack of social contact during the COVID-19 pandemic and renewed interest in these devices in mind, we suggest the affordances of a culturally-informed design approach. We present Sneez…

Evoking the Post-industrial Landscape Memories through Spectrality and Mixed Reality Soundscapes

Spectrality describes the spatiotemporal relationships between landscape and memories where the past ‘haunt’ the present. We explore how spatialized soundscapes may evoke the spectral memories of physical landscape. To do this, we curated a site-specific mixed reality audio walk at Carrie Furnace, a national historic…

Design for Collaborative Survival: An Inquiry into Human-Fungi Relationships

In response to recent calls for HCI to address ongoing environmental crises and existential threats, this paper introduces the concept of collaborative survival and examines how it shapes the design of interactive artifacts. Collaborative survival describes how our (human) ability to persist as a species is deeply ent…
