RankCut: A Ranking-Based LLM Approach to Extractive Summarization for Transcript-Based Video Editing

Video recordings of interviews, lectures, and meetings contain valuable moments surrounded by less essential talk. Making a shareable and meaningful shorter version of this content requires significant effort because it combines tedious, repeated operations with personal editorial decisions, which require human judgme…

When Play Hurts: Understanding Common Barriers in Movement-Based Games

Exergames promise enjoyable physical activity through gameplay, yet players often face barriers that undermine engagement, safety, and retention. To date, knowledge about which barriers are encountered by end-users of commercial exergames and which mitigation strategies are used is limited. To address this gap, we con…

Show Me How to Play: Exploring Self-Modeling for Onboarding in Virtual Reality Exergames

Exergames combine motivating game elements with bodily movement to encourage physical activity. However, onboarding players to perform correct movements remains a challenge, especially in virtual reality (VR) environments where safety and performance are critical. Drawing inspiration from sports training and learning…

Hear Me Out: Supporting Citizens to Create Comprehensible Contributions on Urban Participation Platforms

Urbanization has increased societal tensions and led to the growth of citizen participation in urban planning, which is often conducted in computer-supported environments and progressively online to include a high number of citizens. Past projects have shown that digital participation creates new challenges and that c…

Natural Expression of a Machine Learning Model's Uncertainty Through Verbal and Non-Verbal Behavior of Intelligent Virtual Agents

Uncertainty cues are inherent in natural human interaction, as they signal to communication partners how much they can rely on conveyed information. Humans subconsciously provide such signals both verbally (e.g., through expressions such as "maybe" or "I think") and non-verbally (e.g., by diverting their gaze). In con…

Born to Run, Programmed to Play: Mapping the Extended Reality Exergames Landscape

Many people struggle to exercise regularly, raising the risk of serious health-related issues. Extended reality (XR) exergames address these hurdles by combining physical exercises with enjoyable, immersive gameplay. While a growing body of research explores XR exergames, no previous review has structured this rapidly…

CHI '24Hand Gesture Recognition +2

Beyond the Blink: Investigating Combined Saccadic & Blink-Suppressed Hand Redirection in Virtual Reality

In pursuit of hand redirection techniques that are ever more tailored to human perception, we propose the first algorithm for hand redirection in virtual reality that makes use of saccades, i.e., fast ballistic eye movements that are accompanied by the perceptual phenomenon of change blindness. Our technique combines…

Turn-It-Up: Rendering Resistance for Knobs in Virtual Reality through Undetectable Pseudo-Haptics

Rendering haptic feedback for interactions with virtual objects is an essential part of effective virtual reality experiences. In this work, we explore providing haptic feedback for rotational manipulations, e.g., through knobs. We propose the use of a Pseudo-Haptic technique alongside a physical proxy knob to simulat…

VR Almost There: Simulating Co-located Multiplayer Experiences in Social Virtual Reality

Consumer social virtual reality (VR) applications have recently started to enable social interactions at a distance. Yet it is still relatively unknown if and to what extent such applications provide meaningful social experiences in cases where in-person leisure activities are not feasible. To explore this, we develop…

Never Skip Leg Day Again: Training the Lower Body with Vertical Jumps in a Virtual Reality Exergame

Virtual Reality (VR) exergames can increase engagement in and motivation for physical activities. Most VR exergames focus on the upper body because many VR setups only track the users' heads and hands. To become a serious alternative to existing exercise programs, VR exergames must provide a balanced workout and train…
