Branching Foresight - A Novel Interaction Concept for AI-generated Scenario Exploration

Climate anxiety often makes the future feel distant and overwhelming. We present Branching Foresight, a self-guided scenario tool that helps individuals explore climate futures through AI-generated scenarios framed as positive, neutral, and challenging trajectories. We position the system as a coping and reflective su…

Play It Till You Make It: The Potential of Playful Role Enactment to Foster Digital Agency

Technology use is always gendered: ideas about a person's abilities shape their approach to technologies and thus their digital agency. Yet, approaches towards fostering digital agency often focus only on competencies, falling short of accounting for the relationality and situatedness of agency. Based on a survey with…

Introducing ROADS: A Systematic Comparison of Remote Control Interaction Concepts for Automated Vehicles at Road Works

As vehicle automation technology continues to mature, there is a necessity for robust remote monitoring and intervention features. These are essential for intervening during vehicle malfunctions, challenging road conditions, or in areas that are difficult to navigate. This evolution in the role of the human operat…

Embodied Measurement: Tangible Interactions to Enhance the Validity of Self-Report Measures

This work introduces the concept of Embodied Measurement (EM), designed to improve the validity and inclusivity of cognitive load assessments by incorporating physical interactions that mirror mental effort. We implemented a haptic force-feedback turning knob as an alternative to traditional Likert-scale ratings and c…

AUTO_UI '24External HMI (eHMI) — Communication with Pedestrians & Cyclists +2

Development and Evaluation of Advanced Cyclist Assistance Systems on a Bicycle Simulator

Research on cycling safety has recently gained the attention of the HCI community. While there have been multiple proposals for automated driving features on bikes, we are unaware of a project that systematically aims to translate and evaluate driver assistance systems from the automotive to the bike domain to promote…

Between Two Worlds: Analysing the Effects of Immersive and Non-Immersive Prototyping for Participatory Design

Participatory Design (PD) aims to create technological solutions that improve users’ lives and to foster users’ empowerment. While PD has received extensive attention regarding its processes and methods, less research exists on the effects of PD. With the increasing inclusion of Extended Reality (XR) into PD, this gap…

Choosing the Right Reality: A Comparative Analysis of Tangibility in Immersive Trauma Simulations

In the field of medical first responder training, the choice of training modality is crucial for skill retention and real-world application. This study introduces the Green Manikin, an advanced Mixed Reality (MR) tool, conceptually combining the immersiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) with the tangibility of real-world…

Sensing the Machine: Evaluating Multi-modal Interaction for Intelligent Dynamic Guidance

Recent research has demonstrated the potential for representing intelligent guidance using multi-modal cues, yet few guidelines or processes exist to guide the design of such a system. In this paper, we seek to address this gap by investigating the design of multi-modality assistant systems for setting the optimal par…

Assertive Takeover Requests: Immediate and Sustained Effects on Stress and Performance

In conditionally automated driving, assertive takeover requests (TORs) have been found to elicit faster responses in the transition from automated to manual control. However, despite this apparent benefit, concerns have been raised that assertive signals can stress the drivers, resulting in worse takeover quality and…

CHI '23Social & Collaborative VR +2

Tangible Immersive Trauma Simulation: Is Mixed Reality the next level of medical skills training?

In medical simulation training two approaches are currently rather disjunct: realistic manikins are used to teach physical skills and procedures and VR systems are used to train situation assessment and decision making. We propose a mixed reality approach, which allows trainees to use real tools and their hands when i…
