Tool-Assisted CVSS Vulnerability Scoring: A Controlled Quantitative Study of Human Assessment

Quantitative vulnerability assessment is central to security management, guiding how risks are prioritized and mitigated. Yet, severity scoring relies on human judgment and is therefore subject to differences in experience, interpretation, and diligence; prior work has even shown expert disagreement. We examine an NLP…

A Systematic Review of Interaction Techniques for Mobile Virtual Reality

While low-cost smartphone-based mobile VR (MVR) improves access to extended reality (XR) technology, it lacks the interaction capabilities of high-end devices. Following PRISMA 2020 methodology, we present a survey of both established and emerging MVR interaction techniques for travel, selection, manipulation, and sys…

An Exploration of Default Images in Text-to-Image Generation

In the creative practice of text-to-image (TTI) generation, images are synthesized from textual prompts. By design, TTI models always yield an output, even if the prompt contains unknown terms. In this case, the model may generate default images: images that closely resemble each other across many unrelated prompts. S…

Understanding Home Router Configuration Habits & Attitudes

Home routers serve as a gateway to the Internet and configuration issues such as weak passwords can simply be introduced by users that configured them, potentially leading to severe consequences. The most critical phase in the lifecycle of a home router is perhaps the initial setup intended for users to complete. Yet,…

A Systematic Review of Fitts’ Law in 3D Extended Reality

Fitts' law is widely used as an evaluation tool for pointing or selection tasks, evolving into diverse applications, including 3D extended reality (XR) environments like virtual, augmented, and mixed reality. Despite standards like ISO 9241:411, the application of Fitts' law varies significantly across studies, compli…

Project TapTap: A Longitudinal Study Exploring Non-Verbal Communication through Vibration Signals Between Teachers and Blind or Low Vision Music Learners

While wearable haptics hold promise for making non-verbal cues like gestures and facial expressions accessible to blind or low-vision musicians, our understanding of how vibration signals can be interpreted and applied in real-world learning environments remains limited. We invited five music teachers and their seven…

Folk Tales of IoT: Understanding the Impact of Stories on Users' Positive and Negative Perceptions of Smart Home IoT Devices

This study examines how anecdotal stories from friends, peers, and online sources influence non-experts’ perceptions and behaviors toward smart home IoT devices. We surveyed 263 participants, collecting narratives that either positively or negatively influenced their perception of IoT devices, which they retold in tex…

AI-Enabled Conversational Journaling for Advancing Parkinson's Disease Symptom Tracking

Journaling plays a crucial role in managing chronic conditions by allowing patients to document symptoms and medication intake, providing essential data for long-term care. While valuable, traditional journaling methods often rely on static, self-directed entries, lacking interactive feedback and real-time guidance. T…

Exploring the Effects of Social VR Coupling Modes on Engagement and Task Performance for Older Adults

Social Virtual Reality (VR) presents a promising avenue for older adults to connect with others and engage in collaborative activities remotely. However, many social VR experiences focus on individual tasks, reducing opportunities for meaningful social interaction. To investigate the potential of VR to enhance engage…

Value Tensions in OpenStreetMap: Openness, Membership, and Policy in Online Communities

The social life and long-term trajectories of online peer production communities are shaped and animated in part by value tensions that arise when distributed, heterogeneous participants are brought together into collaboration. This study of OpenStreetMap (OSM) draws upon values-based approaches to investigate how pee…
