Technology Meets Tradition: Investigating User Acceptance and Engagement with Robots for Supporting Older Adults in Pakistani Homes

As Pakistan’s population ages and traditional care structures evolve, there is increasing interest in technological solutions for supporting older adults at home. This study investigates the potential of social assistive robots (SARs) in Pakistani homes, focusing on cultural values, inter-generational living, and limi…

Street Scenes: Public Appliances for GenAI Video in Informal Settlements

Generative AI is rapidly diffusing worldwide, yet access remains uneven. In informal settlements, barriers of cost, literacy and connectivity can exclude residents from AI-enabled self-expression. This paper presents Street Scenes: a public appliance for walk-up interaction with generative AI video in Dharavi, Mumbai.…

The ORBIT India Dataset: Understanding the Challenges of Collecting a Disability-First AI Dataset in Low-Resource Environments

Computer vision systems are increasingly used by blind individuals to navigate their lives, helping, for example, locate objects such as doors or chairs. Yet these recognition systems do not work for many personal objects a blind user might want to find, such as keys or a special notebook. In response, efforts created…

Less Redraw, More Explore: Suggestion and Completion for Sketch-to-Image

Sketch-to-image systems let users transform simple line drawings into realistic images, but current workflows force users into tedious redraw-regenerate cycles that slow creative exploration. We introduce two complementary interaction techniques that reduce iteration friction: AutoSketch, which extends partial sketche…

"That Would Have Been Bad": How Radiologists Interact with VUI systems When Authoring Reports

This paper presents an exploration of how [Redacted Country] radiologists interact with Voice User Interface (VUI) systems and peripherals when authoring diagnostic reports. We conducted a laboratory study with 10 practicing clinical radiologists to investigate the ways in which radiologists utilise speech-based techn…

“I Want My Chart to Be Just for Me”: Community-Engaged Design to Support Outpatient Healthcare for Resettled Communities

Individuals resettled in a new environment often face challenges in accessing adequate healthcare services, particularly within the complex processes of outpatient clinic care. Cultural differences, language barriers, and low socioeconomic status contribute to these difficulties. While previous studies have identified…

Aye, Robot: What Happens When Robots Speak Like Real People?

In daily life, we interact with each other using the social, regional, and ethnic communication styles typical of our local communities. Successful communication further rests on our ability to seamlessly adjust to our interlocutors following the norms and expectations of our local social setting as well as conversat…

Exploring the Experiences of Individuals Who are Blind or Low-Vision Using Object-Recognition Technologies in India

Assistive technologies, such as smartphone-based object-recognition (OR) apps, provide visual assistance to people who are blind or low-vision to enable increased independent participation in society. While previous research has explored the functional accessibility of object-recognition technologies, little attention…

Designing Health Technologies for Immigrant Communities: Exploring Healthcare Providers’ Communication Strategies with Patients

Patient-provider communication is an important aspect of successful healthcare, as it can directly lead to positive health outcomes. Previous studies examined factors that facilitate communication between healthcare providers and patients in socially marginalized communities, especially developing countries, and appli…

How Should We Design Technology With Diverse Stakeholders Who Wish Not to Attend Design Activities Together?

The relationship between the Nigerian police and citizens is strained, hindering the co-design of conventional technologies to enhance community policing (CP) initiatives, hence the imperative to involve both in the design of a usable CP technology that can carter for their needs. Our preliminary findings indicate tha…
