Reacquainting with Everyday Urban Nature: Exploring Natural Soundscape Restoration with Personal Audio AR

Urban development reduces green space, disrupts wildlife, and increases noise, diminishing everyday exposure to natural soundscapes and weakening people’s connection to nearby nature. We explore restoring urban natural soundscapes with personal Audio AR to help people reacquaint with everyday nature, and observe assoc…

GenTune: Toward Traceable Prompts to Improve Controllability of Image Refinement in Environment Design

Environment designers in the entertainment industry create imaginative 2D and 3D scenes for games, films, and television, requiring both fine-grained control of specific details and consistent global coherence. Designers have increasingly integrated generative AI into their workflows, often relying on large language m…

HeadTurner: Enhancing Viewing Range and Comfort of using Virtual and Mixed-Reality Headsets while Lying Down via Assisted Shoulder and Head Actuation

Virtual and mixed reality headsets, such as the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest, began supporting use in reclined postures in 2024, accommodating users who prefer or require this position. However, the surfaces on which users rest restrict shoulder and head rotation, reducing viewing range and comfort. A formative stu…

SpinShot: Optimizing Both Physical and Perceived Force Feedback of Flywheel-Based, Directional Impact Handheld Devices

Real-world impact, such as hitting a tennis ball and a baseball, generates instantaneous, directional impact forces. However, current ungrounded force feedback technologies, such as air jets and propellers, can only generate directional impulses that are 10x-10,000x weaker. We present SpinShot, a flywheel-based device…

Experience from Designing Augmented Reality Browsing Interfaces for Real-world Walking Scenarios

Mobile phones have enabled users to browse information in varying mobility contexts. For high-mobility settings such as walking, however, phones pose several usability challenges, particularly safety and limited screen sizes. While Augmented Reality (AR) has been proposed to address these issues, prior work has yet t…

Exploring Augmented Reality Interface Designs for Virtual Meetings in Real-world Walking Contexts

Research has shown that walking during meetings improve creativity, memory, attention, health, and happiness. While mobile technologies have freed users from having to be stationary during virtual meetings, mobile phones pose several usability challenges, such as reduced productivity, due to small screens and safety c…

RoomDreaming: Generative-AI Approach to Facilitating Iterative, Preliminary Interior Design Exploration

Interior design aims to create aesthetically pleasing and functional environments within an architectural space. For a simple room, the preliminary design exploration currently takes multiple meetings and days of work for interior designers to incorporate homeowners' personal preferences through layout, furnishings, f…

Paired-EMS: Enhancing Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)-based Force Feedback Experience by Stimulating Both Muscles in Antagonistic Pairs

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) has emerged as a key wearable haptic feedback technology capable of simulating a wide range of force feedback, such as the impact force of boxing punches, the weight of virtual objects, and the reaction force from pushing on a wall. To simulate these external forces, EMS stimulates…

TurnAhead: Designing 3-DoF Rotational Haptic Cues to Improve First-person Viewing (FPV) Experiences

First-Person View (FPV) drone is a recently developed category of drones designed for precision flying and for capturing exhilarating experiences that could not be captured before, such as navigating through tight indoor spaces and flying extremely close to subjects of interest. FPV viewing experiences, while exhilara…
