Improving Low-Vision Chart Accessibility via On-Cursor Visual Context

Despite widespread use, charts remain largely inaccessible for Low-Vision Individuals (LVI). Reading charts requires viewing data points within a global context, which is difficult for LVI who may rely on magnification or experience a partial field of vision. We aim to improve exploration by providing visual access to…

Breathing Inward: A Targeted-heat Wearable Designed to Deepen the Benefits of Diaphragmatic Breathing

Deliberate regulation of diaphragmatic breathing can contribute to well-being. We present a targeted-heat wearable designed to direct attention inward during breathing practice. In a mixed-methods study, breathing was guided with a pulsing-heat or a screen-based app. We included physiological measures of heart-rate, H…

FontCraft: Multimodal Font Design Using Interactive Bayesian Optimization

Creating new fonts requires a lot of human effort and professional typographic knowledge. Despite the rapid advancements of automatic font generation models, existing methods require users to prepare pre-designed characters with target styles using font-editing software, which poses a problem for non-expert users. To…

The Walking Meditation Mat: Leveraging Targeted Heat Sensation to Guide Attention Inward

We present the walking meditation mat research, leveraging targeted heat to help meditators focus attention inward. The mat, measuring three meters in length, is designed with 10 visual signifiers and 10 corresponding heater pads arranged in a step-by-step pattern. Walking meditation is challenging, as it requires bot…

Somaesthetic Meditation Wearable: Exploring the Effect of Targeted Warmth Technology on Meditators' Experiences

Mindfulness meditation has vast benefits, yet is challenging for many. We designed a novel targeted warmth somaesthetic wearable and evaluated how the thermal sensation is perceived during meditation. In a qualitative study, twenty participants explored the wearable during meditation. Findings reveal participants' ric…

iPose: Interactive Human Pose Reconstruction from Video

Reconstructing 3D human poses from video has wide applications, such as character animation and sports analysis. Automatic 3D pose reconstruction methods have demonstrated promising results, but failure cases can still appear due to the diversity of human actions, capturing conditions, and depth ambiguities. Thus, man…

A Social Approach for Autonomous Vehicles: A Robotic Object to Enhance Passengers’ Sense of Safety and Trust

One of the central challenges in designing autonomous vehicles concerns passenger trust and sense of safety. This challenge is related to passengers' well-established past experience with non-autonomous vehicles, which leads to concern about the absence of a driver. We explored whether it is possible to address this c…

The Effects of Observing Robotic Ostracism on Children's Prosociality and Basic Needs

Research on robotic ostracism is still scarce and has only explored its effects on adult populations. Although the results revealed important carryover effects of robotic exclusion, there is no evidence yet that those results occur in child-robot interactions. This paper provides the first exploration of robotic ostra…

The Power of Opening Encounters in HRI: How initial robotic behavior shapes the interaction that follows

Opening encounters are a fundamental component of every interaction. Psychology research highlights the valence of opening encounters as one of the main factors that shape the nature of the interaction that follows. In this work, we evaluated whether opening encounters would have a similarly powerful effect on human-r…

Implications of AI Bias in HRI: Risks (and Opportunities) when Interacting with a Biased Robot

Social robotic behavior is commonly designed using AI algorithms which are trained on human behavioral data. This training process may result in robotic behaviors that echo human biases and stereotypes. In this work, we evaluated whether an interaction with a biased robotic object can increase participants’ stereotypi…
