Log2Motion: Biomechanical Motion Synthesis from Touch Logs

Touch data from mobile devices are collected at scale but reveal little about the interactions that produce them. While biomechanical simulations can illuminate motor control processes, they have not yet been developed for touch interactions. To close this gap, we propose a novel computational problem: synthesizing pl…

Helping Johnny Make Sense of Privacy Policies with LLMs

Understanding and engaging with privacy policies is crucial for online privacy, yet these documents remain notoriously complex and difficult to navigate. We present PRISMe, an interactive browser extension that combines LLM-based policy assessment with a dashboard and customizable chat interface, enabling users to ski…

GTA: Generative Traffic Agents for Simulating Realistic Mobility Behavior

People's transportation choices reflect complex trade-offs shaped by personal preferences, social norms, and technology acceptance. Predicting such behavior at scale is a critical challenge with major implications for urban planning and sustainable transport. Traditional methods use handcrafted assumptions and costly…

Demystifying Reward Design in Reinforcement Learning for Upper Extremity Interaction: Practical Guidelines for Biomechanical Simulations in HCI

Designing effective reward functions is critical for reinforcement learning-based biomechanical simulations, yet HCI researchers and practitioners often waste (computation) time with unintuitive trial-and-error tuning. This paper demystifies reward function design by systematically analyzing the impact of effort minim…

Visual Sampling Behavior Does not Explain Risk Perception: A Data-Driven xAI Investigation

How do drivers perceive risk? Understanding what situations and factors cause drivers to perceive situations as critical can improve our understanding of road user behavior and inform automated driving technology. To investigate the factors that shape drivers’ risk perception, we conducted an eye-tracking study with 2…

SIM2VR: Towards Automated Biomechanical Testing in VR

Automated biomechanical testing has great potential for the development of VR applications, as initial insights into user behaviour can be gained in silico early in the design process. In particular, it allows prediction of user movements and ergonomic variables, such as fatigue, prior to conducting user studies. Ho…

Changing Lanes Toward Open Science: Openness and Transparency in Automotive User Research

We review the state of open science and the perspectives on open data sharing within the automotive user research community. Openness and transparency are critical not only for judging the quality of empirical research, but also for accelerating scientific progress and promoting an inclusive scientific community. Howe…

Computational Models for In-Vehicle User Interface Design: A Systematic Literature Review

In this review, we analyze the current state of the art of computational models for in-vehicle User Interface (UI) design. Driver distraction, often caused by drivers performing Non Driving Related Tasks (NDRTs), is a major contributor to vehicle crashes. Accordingly, in-vehicle UI s must be evaluated for their distra…
