Beyond Pre-Defined Scripts: Player Perceptions on Generative Non-Player Character Dialogues

Interactions with non-player characters (NPCs) are ubiquitous in video games but traditionally rely on scripted dialogue. The advent of large language models (LLMs) has opened up new opportunities to converse with NPCs and, in turn, contribute to player experience. However, integrating LLM-driven dialogue in games is…

Framing 'Collaboration': How Human-Human Principles Translate into Human-AI Realities

The recent advancement of AI has shifted terminology: humans "use" computers but "collaborate with" AI. This anthropomorphic framing shapes expectations of system capabilities. Despite the large body of research adopting "human-AI collaboration" as a term, there seems to be little consensus on a definition of the conc…

Beyond Disposition: AI Knowledge Predicts Anthropomorphization of a Language Model Better Than Personality Traits in Lay and Expert Populations

Anthropomorphizing Artificial Intelligence (AI), i.e., ascribing human-like mind or emotions to it, is widespread but varies across individuals. We tested three proposed dispositional predictors of anthropomorphism (need for cognition, need for structure, loneliness) in a general population (N = 307) and an AI expert…

"Hey Dashboard!": Supporting Voice, Text, and Pointing Modalities in Dashboard Onboarding using Large Language Models

Visualization dashboards are regularly used for data exploration and analysis, but their complex interactions and interlinked views often require time-consuming onboarding sessions from dashboard authors. Preparing these onboarding materials is labor-intensive and requires manual updates when dashboards change. Recent…

What Users Like and Don’t Like About Occupational Exoskeletons: Experiences and Implications From a Focus Group Study

Occupational exoskeletons are designed to support workers in strenuous tasks and to promote health, yet their implementation and use often present challenges due to the close interaction between wearer and device. This study explored user perceptions of occupational exoskeletons through qualitative focus groups conduc…

Pathways of Desire: Enhancing Navigation and Sense of Community Through Player-Generated Desire Paths

Navigating is essential in many video games. However, previous work suggests that many games still suffer from navigational problems that decrease enjoyment. In this paper, we focus on "Desire Paths", informal trails collectively created by pedestrians representing the most convenient route. While they are known to be…

The Last JITAI? Exploring Large Language Models for Issuing Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions: Fostering Physical Activity in a Prospective Cardiac Rehabilitation Setting

We evaluated the viability of using Large Language Models (LLMs) to trigger and personalize content in Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) in digital health. As an interaction pattern representative of context-aware computing, JITAIs are being explored for their potential to support sustainable behavior chang…

Show me a "Male Nurse"! How Gender Bias is Reflected in the Query Formulation of Search Engine Users

Biases in algorithmic systems have led to discrimination against historically disadvantaged groups, including the reinforcement of outdated gender stereotypes. While a substantial body of research addresses biases in algorithms and underlying data, in this work, we study if and how users themselves reflect these bias…

The Next Generation of Human-Drone Partnerships: Co-Designing an Emergency Response System

The use of semi-autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to support emergency response scenarios, such as fire surveillance and search and rescue, offers the potential for huge societal benefits. However, designing an effective solution in this complex domain represents a "wicked design" problem, requiring a careful…

IUI '19Automated Driving Interface & Takeover Design +1

Why Do You Like To Drive Automated? A Context-Dependent Analysis of Highly Automated Driving to Elaborate Requirements for Intelligent User Interfaces

Technology acceptance is a critical factor influencing the adoption of automated vehicles. Consequently, manufacturers feel obliged to design automated driving systems in a way to account for negative effects of automation on user experience. Recent publications confirm that full automation will potentially lack in th…
