CHI '25Vibrotactile Feedback & Skin Stimulation +2

Exploring the Effect of Music on User Typing and Identification through Keystroke Dynamics

This paper explores the relationship between music and keyboard typing behavior. In particular, we focus on how it affects keystroke-based authentication systems. To this end, we conducted an online experiment (N=43), where participants were asked to replicate paragraphs of text while listening to music at varying tem…

CHI '25Eye Tracking & Gaze Interaction +1

It’s Not Always the Same Eye That Dominates: Effects of Viewing Angle, Handedness and Eye Movement in 3D

Understanding eye dominance, the subconscious preference for one eye, has significant implications for 3D user interfaces in VR and AR, particularly in interface design and rendering. Although HCI recognizes eye dominance, little is known about what causes it to switch from one eye to another. To explore this, we…

SalChartQA: Question-driven Saliency on Information Visualisations

Understanding the link between visual attention and users' information needs when visually exploring information visualisations is under-explored due to a lack of large and diverse datasets to facilitate these analyses. To fill this gap we introduce SalChartQA -- a novel crowd-sourced dataset that uses the BubbleVie…

"Hello I am here'': Proximal Nonverbal Cues Role in Initiating Social Interactions in VR

Virtual Reality (VR) has revolutionized social interactions, but limited field of view (FoV) remains a significant obstacle. Users often fail to notice others within the virtual environment, hindering social engagement. To facilitate initiating social interactions, we developed a novel social signaling technique that…

"Your Eyes Say You Have Used This Password Before": Identifying Password Reuse from Gaze Behavior and Keystroke Dynamics

A significant drawback of text passwords for end-user authentication is password reuse. We propose a novel approach to detect password reuse by leveraging gaze as well as typing behavior and study its accuracy. We collected gaze and typing behavior from 49 users while creating accounts for 1) a webmail client and 2) a…

CHI '21Privacy by Design & User Control +2

PriView -- Exploring Visualisations Supporting Users' Privacy Awareness

We present PriView, a concept that allows privacy-invasive devices in the users’ vicinity to be visualised. PriView is motivated by an ever-increasing number of sensors in our environments tracking potentially sensitive data (e.g., audio and video). At the same time, users are oftentimes unaware of this, which violate…

CHI '21Human Pose & Activity Recognition +1

Understanding User Identification in Virtual Reality through Behavioral Biometrics and the Effect of Body Normalization

Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming increasingly popular both in the entertainment and professional domains. Behavioral biometrics have recently been investigated as a means to continuously and implicitly identify users in VR. Applications in VR can specifically benefit from this, for example, to adapt virtual environmen…

CHI '20Mid-Air Haptics (Ultrasonic) +1

Therminator: Understanding the Interdependency of Visual and On-Body Thermal Feedback in Virtual Reality

Recent advances have made Virtual Reality (VR) more realistic than ever before. This improved realism is attributed to today's ability to increasingly appeal to human sensations, such as visual, auditory or tactile. While research also examines temperature sensation as an important aspect, the interdependency of visua…

Virtual Field Studies: Conducting Studies on Public Displays in Virtual Reality

Field studies on public displays can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. We investigate the feasibility of using virtual reality (VR) as a test-bed to evaluate deployments of public displays. Specifically, we investigate whether results from virtual field studies, conducted in a virtual public space, would ma…
