AttentiveLearn: Personalized Post-Lecture Support for Gaze-Aware Immersive Learning

Immersive learning environments such as virtual classrooms in Virtual Reality (VR) offer learners unique learning experiences, yet providing effective learner support remains a challenge. While prior HCI research has explored in-lecture support for immersive learning, little research has been conducted to provide post…

CoEmpaTeam: Enhancing Cognitive Empathy using LLM-based Avatars and Dynamic Role Play in Virtual Reality

Cognitive empathy, the ability to understand others‘ perspectives, is essential for effective communication, reducing biases, and constructive negotiation. However, this skill is declining in a performance-driven society, which prioritizes efficiency over perspective-taking. Here, the training of cognitive empathy is…

Flow on Social Media? Rarer Than You'd Think

Researchers often attribute social media’s appeal to its ability to elicit flow experiences of deep absorption and effortless engagement. Yet prolonged use has also been linked to distraction, fatigue, and lower mood. This paradox remains poorly understood, in part because prior studies rely on habitual or one-shot re…

“Mirror, mirror in the call“: Exploring the Ambivalent Nature of the Self-view in Video Meeting Systems with Self-reported and Eye-tracking Data

Video meeting systems offer great potential for work and life, but they can also have negative effects. One reason is the presence of technical stimuli that do not exist in the physical world. A prominent example is the self-view feature, a mirrored image of oneself shown during the video meeting. The self-view featur…

CrowdSurfer: Seamlessly Integrating Crowd-Feedback Tasks into Everyday Internet Surfing

Crowd feedback overcomes scalability issues of feedback collection on interactive website designs. However, collecting feedback on crowdsourcing platforms decouples the feedback provider from the context of use. This creates more effort for crowdworkers to immerse into such context in crowdsourcing tasks. In this pape…

ONYX: Assisting Users in Teaching Natural Language Interfaces Through Multi-Modal Interactive Task Learning

Users are increasingly empowered to personalize natural language interfaces (NLIs) by teaching how to handle new natural language (NL) inputs. However, our formative study found that when teaching new NL inputs, users require assistance in clarifying ambiguities that arise and want insight into which parts of the inpu…

TeamSpiritous - A Retrospective Emotional Competence Development System for Video-Meetings

Video-meetings essentially determine remote work life. However, video-meetings experience challenges originating from human emotions. Therefore, emotional competence, the ability to perceive, understand, and regulate emotions, is of the highest relevance. With limited transfer capacity of emotional information and var…

Cody: An AI-Based System to Semi-Automate Coding for Qualitative Research

Qualitative research can produce a rich understanding of a phenomenon but requires an essential and strenuous data annotation process known as coding. Coding can be repetitive and time-consuming, particularly for large datasets. Existing AI-based approaches for partially automating coding, like supervised machine lear…

Chatbot-based Emotion Management for Distributed Teams: A Participatory Design Study

Fueled by the pervasion of tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams, the usage of text-based communication in distributed teams has grown massively in organizations. This brings distributed teams many advantages, however, a critical shortcoming in these setups is the decreased ability of perceiving, understanding and regul…
