AV-Play: Co-Designing VR Games to Study Audiovisual Integration in Children with ADHD

Processing speech in noisy environments is a core challenge for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and few studies investigated evidence-based interventions. Disrupted visual attention and audiovisual integration are key contributors to these difficulties. Virtual reality (VR) games offer p…

Fuzzy Feelings: Arousal’s Interpretive Noise and the Case for Acoustic-Based Haptics

Captions rarely convey emotional nuances in speech, leaving Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) viewers without access to tonal and affective information. We present a two-part mixed-methods study on how haptic feedback can communicate vocal emotion without adding visual load. In Part 1, we replicated an arousal-driven cap…

Generative Role-Play Communication Training in Virtual Reality for Autistic Individuals: A Study on Job Coach Experiences in Vocational Training Programs

Our study explores the usability and challenges of a Virtual Reality (VR) and Large Language Model (LLM)-based platform designed for soft skills training in vocational programs for autistic individuals, from the perspective of job coaches. The platform features a VR application that integrates an LLM-powered virtual a…

Tactile Emotions: Multimodal Affective Captioning with Haptics Improves Narrative Engagement for d/Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Viewers

This paper explores a multimodal approach for translating emotional cues present in speech, designed with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) individuals in mind. Prior work has focused on visual cues applied to captions, successfully conveying whether a speaker's words have a negative or positive tone (valence), but with…

Haptic-Captioning: Using Audio-Haptic Interfaces to Enhance Speaker Indication in Real Time Captions for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Viewers

Captions make the audio content of videos accessible and understandable for deaf or hard-of-hearing people (DHH). However, in real-time captioning scenarios, captions alone can be challenging for DHH users to identify the active speaker in real time in multiple-speaker scenarios. To enhance the accessibility of real-t…

Improving Colour Patterns to Assist People with Colour Vision Deficiency

Many daily tasks rely on accurately identifying and distinguishing between different colours. However, these tasks can be frustrating and potentially dangerous for people with Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD). Despite prior work exploring how pattern overlays on top of colours can support people with CVD, the solutions…
