ImpReSS: Designing and Evaluating a Lightweight Implicit Recommender System in Conversational Support Agents

Large language model (LLM)-powered AI agents have transformed customer support, yet little research has addressed the integration of product recommendations into problem-solving dialogues. We introduce ImpReSS, a lightweight implicit recommender system for conversational support agents based on small language and embe…

Interpersonal Synchrony Over a Distance – the Effect of Network Noise on Synchronization and its Prosocial Consequences

Interpersonal motor synchronization (IMS) occurs when people move together, in temporal alignment. Being in IMS can result in prosocial effects: increased liking, similarity and trust. We address the possibility of remote IMS (rIMS) between people who are not co-located, through mobile phone interactions. A threat to…

Spatial Haptics: A Sensory Substitution Method for Distal Object Detection Using Tactile Cues

We present a sensory substitution-based method for representing locations of remote objects in 3D space via haptics. By imitating auditory localization processes, we enable vibrotactile localization abilities similar to those of some spiders, elephants, and other species. We evaluated this concept in virtual reality b…

Crafting for Emotion Appropriateness in Affective Robotics: Examining the Practicality of the OCC Model

Research in affective robotics has been using emotions to improve human-robot interaction. One important aspect has been to design recognizable and believable emotions in robotics. Recent work argued that externally displayed emotions on robots may or may not be appropriate for a given situation. However, the selectio…

At First Light: Expressive Lights in Support of Drone-Initiated Communication

Drones are increasingly used in situations where they can assist a person. However, people are not familiar with drones approaching them. We propose an expressive light system embedded on a drone to convey its intention to initiate communication, which we present as a four-stage process: Drone-Initiated Engagement Mod…

Spotlights: Designs for Directing Learners' Attention in a Large-Scale Social Annotation Platform

A new approach to online discussion, which situates student discussions in the margins of the course content, can enhance student engagement with course materials. However, in high-enrollment classes, the large number of comments can overwhelm and intimidate students. Some become frustrated by the volume of potential…

Above and Beyond: A Scoping Review of Domains and Applications for Human-Drone Interaction

Interacting with flying objects has fueled people's imagination throughout history. Over the past decade, the Human-Drone Interaction (HDI) community has been working towards making this dream a reality. Despite notable findings, we lack a high-level perspective on the current and future use cases for interacting with…

Naturally Together: A Systematic Approach for Multi-User Interaction With Natural Interfaces

New technology is moving towards intuitive and natural interaction techniques that are increasingly embedded in human space (e.g., home and office environment) and aims to support multiple users, yet their interfaces do not cover it to the full. Imagine that you have a multi-user device, should it act differently in d…

Towards the Right Direction in BiDirectional User Interfaces

Hundreds of millions of speakers of bidirectional (BiDi) languages rely on writing systems that mix the native right-to-left script with left-to-right strings. The global reach of interactive digital technologies requires special attention to these people, whose perception of interfaces is affected by this script mixt…

Drone in Love: Emotional Perception of Facial Expressions on Flying Robots

Drones are rapidly populating human spaces, yet little is known about how these flying robots are perceived and understood by humans. Recent works suggested that their acceptance is predicated upon their sociability. This paper explores the use of facial expressions to represent emotions on social drones. We leveraged…
