"Same Voice, Different Language": An Exploration of Voice-Cloned Translation to Support Non-Native Speakers in Online Meetings

Cross-lingual meetings have become essential for global collaboration, yet current translation technologies often strip away vocal identity — the unique speaker characteristics that convey nuance and social presence. While generic text-to-speech (TTS) provides basic intelligibility, it creates a disconnect between spe…

Beyond Words: Measuring User Experience through Speech Analysis in Voice User Interfaces

Voice assistants (VAs) are typically evaluated through task performance metrics and self-report questionnaires, but people’s voices themselves carry rich paralinguistic cues that reveal affect, effort, and interaction breakdowns. We present a within-subjects study (N=49) that systematically compared three VA personas…

Does My Chatbot Have an Agenda? Understanding Human and AI Agency in Human-Human-like Chatbot Interaction

As AI chatbots shift from tools to companions, critical questions arise: who controls the conversation in human-AI chatrooms? This paper explores perceived human and AI agency in sustained conversation. We report a month-long longitudinal study with 22 adults who chatted with "Day", an LLM companion we built, followed…

A Critical Reflection on the Values and Assumptions in Data Visualization

Visualization has matured into an established research field, producing widely adopted tools, design frameworks, and empirical foundations. As the field has grown, ideas from outside computer science have increasingly entered visualization discourse, questioning the fundamental values and assumptions on which visualiz…

Retelling the News: Exploring AI-Driven Conversational News Interactions

News outlets are currently adopting AI to summarize news stories and experiment with conversational agents to convey news. In this paper, we explore this emerging practice, in which an AI-powered agent retells news in dialogue with the user rather than presenting them with a fixed narrative. In a co-speculation worksh…

AI That Moves With You: A Review of Interactive Technologies Powered by Large Foundation Models for Mobility Impairment

Large foundation models (FMs) -- including large language model (LLM), large vision model (LVM), vision language model (VLM), and related variants -- are rapidly reshaping interactive assistive technologies during past years. We present a review of FM-enabled interactive systems for people with mobility impairments, c…

AiModerator: A Co-Pilot for Hyper-Contextualization in Political Debate Video

Political debates are essential in political discourse for democratic societies. Advancements in technology have significantly transformed the structure of political debates, the ways in which politicians communicate, and the platforms through which audiences engage with them. Originally a forum for improving understa…

RedirectedStepper: Exploring Walking-In-Place Locomotion in VR Using a Mini Stepper for Ascents

Walking on inclined surfaces is common in some Virtual Reality (VR) scenarios, for instance, when moving between floors of a building, climbing a tower, or ascending a virtual mountain. Existing approaches enabling realistic walking experiences in such settings typically require the user to use bulky walking-in-place…

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…

When the Body Became Data: Historical Data Cultures and Anatomical Illustration

With changing attitudes around knowledge, medicine, art, and technology, the human body has become a source of information and, ultimately, shareable and analyzable data. Centuries of illustrations and visualizations of the body occur within particular historical, social, and political contexts. These contexts are enm…
