Leveraging AI-Generated Emotional Self-Voice to Nudge People towards their Ideal Selves

Emotions, shaped by past experiences, significantly influence decision-making and goal pursuit. Traditional cognitive-behavioral techniques for personal development rely on mental imagery to envision ideal selves, but may be less effective for individuals who struggle with visualization. This paper introduces Emotiona…

Paratrouper: Exploratory Creation of Character Cast Visuals Using Generative AI

Great characters are critical to the success of many forms of media, such as comics, games, and films. Designing visually compelling casts of characters requires significant skill and consideration, and there is a lack of specialized tools to support this endeavor. We investigate how AI-driven image-generation techniq…

Putting Things into Context: Generative AI-Enabled Context Personalization for Vocabulary Learning Improves Learning Motivation

Fostering students' interests in learning is considered to have many positive downstream effects. Large language models have opened up new horizons for generating content tuned to one's interests, yet it is unclear in what ways and to what extent this customization could have positive effects on learning. To explore t…

Social Wormholes: Exploring Preferences and Opportunities for Distributed and Physically-Grounded Social Connections

Ubiquitous computing encapsulates the idea for technology to be interwoven into the fabric of everyday life. As computing blends into everyday physical artifacts, powerful opportunities open up for social connection. Prior connected media objects span a broad spectrum of design combinations. Such diversity suggests th…

(Dis)Appearables: A Concept and Method for Actuated Tangible UIs to Appear and Disappear based on Stages

(Dis)Appearables is an approach for actuated Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) to appear and disappear. This technique is supported by \textit{Stages}: physical platforms inspired by theatrical stages. Self-propelled TUI's autonomously move between front and back stage allowing them to dynamically appear and disappear f…

HERMITS: Dynamically Reconfiguring the Interactivity of Self-propelled TUIs with Mechanical Shell Add-ons

We introduce HERMITS, a modular interaction architecture for self-propelled Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) that incorporates physical add-ons, referred to as mechanical shells. The mechanical shell add-ons are intended to be dynamically reconfigured by utilizing the locomotion capability of self-propelled TUIs (e.g.…
