"I Didn't Know I Looked Angry": Characterizing Observed Emotion and Reported Affect at Work

With the growing prevalence of affective computing applications, Automatic Emotion Recognition (AER) technologies have garnered attention in both research and industry settings. Initially limited to speech-based applications, AER technologies now include analysis of facial landmarks to provide predicted probabilities…

Design of Digital Workplace Stress-Reduction Intervention Systems: Effects of Intervention Type and Timing

Workplace stress-reduction interventions have produced mixed results due to engagement and adherence barriers. Leveraging technology to integrate such interventions into the workday may address these barriers and help mitigate the mental, physical, and monetary effects of workplace stress. To inform the design of a wo…

MeetingCoach: An Intelligent Dashboard for Supporting Effective & Inclusive Meetings

Video-conferencing is essential for many companies, but its limitations in conveying social cues can lead to ineffective meetings. We present MeetingCoach, an intelligent post-meeting feedback dashboard that summarizes contextual and behavioral meeting information. Through an exploratory survey (N=120), we identified…

AffectiveSpotlight: Facilitating the Communication of Affective Responses from Audience Members during Online Presentations

The ability to monitor audience reactions is critical when delivering presentations. However, current videoconferencing platforms offer limited solutions to support this. This work leverages recent advances in affect sensing to capture and facilitate communication of relevant audience signals. Using an exploratory sur…

Understanding Conversational and Expressive Style in a Multimodal Embodied Conversational Agent

Embodied conversational agents have changed the ways we can interact with machines. However, these systems often do not meet users' expectations. A limitation is that the agents are monotonic in behavior and do not adapt to an interlocutor. We present SIVA (a Socially Intelligent Virtual Agent), an expressive, embodie…

"Warm Bodies'': A Post-Processing Technique for Animating Dynamic Blood Flow on Photos and Avatars

What breathes life into an embodied agent or avatar? While body motions such as facial expressions, speech and gestures have been well studied, relatively little attention has been applied to subtle changes due to underlying physiology. We argue that subtle pulse signals are important for creating more lifelike and le…

Optimizing for Happiness and Productivity: Modeling Opportune Moments for Transitions and Breaks at Work

Information workers perform jobs that demand constant multitasking, leading to context switches, productivity loss, stress, and unhappiness. Systems that can mediate task transitions and breaks have the potential to keep people both productive and happy. We explore a crucial initial step for this goal: finding opportu…

Accessible Video Calling: Enabling Nonvisual Perception of Visual Conversation Cues

Nonvisually Accessible Video Calling (NAVC) is a prototype that detects visual conversation cues in a video call and uses audio cues to convey them to a user who is blind or low-vision. NAVC uses audio cues inspired by movie soundtracks to convey Attention, Agreement, Disagreement, Happiness, Thinking, and Surprise. W…

Circadian Rhythms and Physiological Synchrony: Evidence of the Impact of Diversity on Small Group Creativity

Circadian rhythms determine daily sleep cycles, mood, and cognition. Depending on an individual's circadian preference, or chronotype (i.e.,``early birds'' and ``night owls''), the rhythms shift earlier or later in the day. Early birds experience circadian arousal peaks earlier in the morning than night owls. Prior wo…

Managing Stress: The Needs of Autistic Adults in Video Calling

Video calling (VC) aims to create multi-modal, collaborative environments that are "just like being there." However, we found that autistic individuals, who exhibit atypical social and cognitive processing, may not share this goal. We interviewed autistic adults about their perceptions of VC compared to other computer…
