Encouraging Breath: Increasing Out‑of‑Session DMHI Engagement using a Shape‑Changing Biofeedback Physicalization within a Longitudinal RCT

Out-of-session or "homework'' engagement is a primary limiting factor in clinical mental health outcomes. Despite weekly practitioner contact, adherence to prescribed Digital Mental Health Interventions (DMHIs) typically drops by 96.1% within two weeks. We evaluate Ankor, a handheld shape-changing biofeedback physical…

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors: What’s Acceptable (and What’s Not) in Neighborhood Video Surveillance

The popularization of video security devices promises to improve security in and outside people’s home, yet they also expose their owners, neighbors and visitors to privacy risks. Most studies have focused on the primary users’ privacy, yet we know the implications of such technology span far beyond the individual int…

Virtual Selves, Real Emotions: The Impact of Photorealistic Avatar Personalization on Emotion in Virtual Reality

Embodying photorealistic personalized avatars that closely resemble their users has recently become technologically achievable in virtual reality (VR). While previous work highlighted several benefits of personalization, its impact on emotions, a central VR element, remains underexplored. Given their high production c…

Dispray: The Design of an AR-Augmented Airbrush for Electroluminescent Display Fabrication

Recent advances in material-centric personal fabrication have enabled the use of custom inks and paints with functional properties to create free-form displays. However, working with these materials, such as through airbrushing, remains a skill-intensive process that limits non-specialist access, adoption, and further…

GraspR: A Computational Model of Spatial User Preferences for Adaptive Grasp UI Design

Grasp User Interfaces (grasp UIs) enable dual-tasking in XR by allowing interaction with digital content while holding physical objects. However, designing grasp UIs presents a fundamental challenge: existing approaches either capture user preferences through labor-intensive elicitation studies that don't scale, or re…

SparseEMG: Computational Design of Sparse EMG Layouts for Sensing Gestures

Gesture recognition with electromyography (EMG) is a complex problem influenced by gesture sets, electrode count and placement, and machine learning parameters (e.g., features, classifiers). Most existing toolkits focus on streamlining model development but overlook the impact of electrode selection on classification…

HydroHaptics: High-Fidelity Force-Feedback on Soft Deformable Interfaces using Hydrostatic Transmission

Soft deformable interfaces offer unique interaction potential through input flexibility and diverse forms. However, force feedback on these devices remains limited, with pneumatic approaches lacking responsiveness and precision, while microhydraulic solutions are constrained to small form factors with limited input.…

It Sounds Squishy: Understanding Cross-Modal Correspondences of Deformable Shapes and Sounds

Computing interfaces are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with systems that engage multiple sensory channels simultaneously. Deformable and shape-changing interfaces offer rich tactile experiences, but there is limited understanding of how they can be combined with other modes of sensory feedback. We systemati…

There Is More to Dwell Than Meets the Eye: Toward Better Gaze-Based Text Entry Systems With Multi-Threshold Dwell

Dwell-based text entry seems to peak at 20 words per minute (WPM). Yet, little is known about the factors contributing to this limit, except that it requires extensive training. Thus, we conducted a longitudinal study, broke the overall dwell-based selection time into six different components, and identified several d…

Investigating the Benefits of Physical Models for Anatomical Education in Augmented Reality

Historically, anatomical education has utilised physical models; researchers are now looking to Augmented Reality (AR) to deliver more engaging learning experiences. While there are clear educational advantages to AR, most systems lack the cognitive benefits afforded by physical models. Our work explores the potential…
