How Well Can 3D Accessibility Guidelines Support XR Development? An Interview Study with XR Practitioners in Industry

While accessibility (a11y) guidelines exist for 3D games and virtual worlds, their applicability to extended reality (XR)'s unique interaction paradigms (e.g., spatial tracking, kinesthetic interactions) remains unexplored. XR practitioners need practical guidance to successfully implement a11y guidelines under real-w…

Robot-Assisted Group Tours for Blind People

Group interactions are essential to social functioning, yet effective engagement relies on the ability to recognize and interpret visual cues, making such engagement a significant challenge for blind people. In this paper, we investigate how a mobile robot can support group interactions for blind people. We used the s…

NarraGuide: an LLM-based Narrative Mobile Robot for Remote Place Exploration

Robotic telepresence enables users to navigate and experience remote environments. However, effective navigation and situational awareness depend on users’ prior knowledge of the environment, limiting the usefulness of these systems for exploring unfamiliar places. We explore how integrating location-aware LLM-based n…

"This really let's us see the entire world:" Designing a conversational telepresence robot for homebound older adults

In this paper, we explore the design and use of conversational telepresence robots to help homebound older adults interact with the external world. An initial needfinding study (N=8) using video vignettes revealed older adults' experiential needs for robot-mediated remote experiences such as exploration, reminiscence…

So I Can Feel Normal: Participatory Design for Accessible Social Media for Individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in chronic sensorimotor, cognitive, psychosocial, and communication challenges that can limit social participation. Social media can be a useful outlet for social participation for individuals with TBI, but there are barriers to access. While research has drawn attention to the…

Polite or Direct? Conversation Design with Politeness Theory on a Smart Display for Older Adults

Conversational interfaces increasingly rely on human-like dialogue to offer a natural experience. However, relying on dialogue involving multiple exchanges for even simple tasks can overburden users, particularly older adults. In this paper, we explored the use of politeness theory in conversation design to alleviate…

Exploring the Role of Social Robot Behaviors in a Creative Activity

Robots are increasingly being introduced into domains where they assist or collaborate with human counterparts. There is a growing body of literature on how robots might serve as collaborators in creative activities, but little is known about the factors that shape human perceptions of robots as creative collaborators…
