Balancing Attention Support for Early-learners (BASE) in Digital Technology Interactions: A Framework for Design and Use

Digital technologies increasingly shape young children’s attention, yet current design paradigms often prioritise engagement over developmental appropriateness. This paper responds to growing concerns about the attention economy’s influence on children’s lives. While many theories address attention and digital engagem…

Exploring Design Practice with Generative AI: Perspectives from AEC Design Professionals

The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) design marks a paradigm shift, yet empirical studies on AEC professional adoption are scarce. This study aims to bridge this gap through a mixed-methods study involving interviews with 20 professionals and a survey of 191 p…

Need for Trust Calibration in Takeover request Performance in Level 3 Automated vehicles

Trust is a critical human factor influencing driver interaction with autonomous vehicles (AVs), particularly during takeover requests (TORs). Despite growing interest in trust calibration and TOR performance, no comprehensive review exists that synthesizes findings across these domains. This paper aims to address this…

Understanding VR Accessibility Practices of VR Professionals

Accessibility is a crucial concept in Virtual Reality (VR), pivotal for meeting the needs of users, including those with disabilities. In recent years, there is an increasing focus of VR products on enhancing the accessibility of a diverse range of digital content. Despite this growing attention from the VR community,…

Educator Perceptions of XRAuthor: An Accessible Tool for Authoring Learning Content with Different Immersion Levels

The promise of Extended Reality (XR) in education is significant but one size does not fit all learning contexts and student preferences. Varied content with different immersion levels is hence beneficial, but creating XR content remains daunting for educators using conventional tools. This paper introduces XRAuthor,…

Nudging with Narrative Visualization: Communicating to a Young Adult Audience in the Pandemic

Effective narrative visualization communicates information by integrating story-telling and data visualization in a comprehensible, compelling manner. The compelling aspect of effective narrative visualization consequentially results in the potential to shift the attitude of an audience. However, there is much to unde…

Volumetric Hybrid Workspaces: Interactions with Objects in Remote and Co-located Telepresence

Volumetric telepresence aims to create a shared space, allowing people in local and remote settings to collaborate seamlessly. Prior telepresence examples typically have asymmetrical designs, with volumetric capture in one location and objects in one format. In this paper, we present a volumetric telepresence mixed re…

Crafting with a Robot Assistant: Use Social Cues to Inform Adaptive Handovers in Human-Robot Collaboration

We study human-robot handovers in a naturalistic collaboration scenario, where a mobile manipulator robot assists a person during a crafting session by providing and retrieving objects used for wooden piece assembly (functional activities) and painting (creative activities). We collect quantitative and qualitative dat…

Enabling Digital Parenting Interventions to Promote Empathic Partnerships among Parents, Educators, and Adolescents Targeting School Refusal

School refusal is a complex issue which typically develops in adolescence, often in the context of anxiety and depressive disorders. While parents and educators play a critical role in supporting these adolescents, they need guidance to work together to overcome the problem. Our study explores how technology can be de…

Be Our Guest: Intercultural Heritage Exchange through Augmented Reality (AR)

This paper explores how interactive applications can help mitigate the adversity of facing cultural differences between migrants and the host community, and between migrants of diverse backgrounds to foster intercultural exchange. Based on literature about situated cognition, immersive theater, and affordance, we desi…
