This position paper argues that as wearable Augmented Reality evolves into Mediated Reality capable of altering visual scenes in safety-critical mobile contexts, it is essential to develop governance mechanisms that allow users to configure, inspect, and understand these perceptual modifications without compromising safety and trust.
This paper investigates how users perceive fragility in Shape-Changing Interfaces (SCIs) through two studies that identify key influencing factors, formalize them into a framework, and demonstrate how manipulating these factors affects user interaction and perceived robustness.
Based on interviews with 30 users, this paper defines human-AI intimacy and introduces the "AI Amplifier Effect" to explain how conversational AI intensifies users' existing emotional states, thereby highlighting the need for HCI research that balances platform regulation with user well-being in designing romantic AI relationships.
This paper introduces MRDrive, an open-source mixed reality driving simulator that bridges the gap between ecological validity and experimental control by allowing users to interact with a real vehicle cabin while immersed in a virtual driving environment to support automotive user research.
CinemaWorld is a generative augmented reality system for the Meta Quest 3 that uses multimodal large language models and generative AI to extract features from 2D movie scenes and automatically synthesize synchronized 3D mixed reality content, thereby enhancing viewer immersion and enjoyment as validated through technical, user, and expert evaluations.
This paper presents a new reconfigurable haptic interface that utilizes a modular network of hybrid motor-brake cable actuation modules to deliver rich, multi-degree-of-freedom force feedback, capable of rendering smooth active forces up to 6 N and high-magnitude passive collision forces up to 186 N.
This paper proposes a unified dynamic framework using "task" and "intent" lenses to reconceptualize human-AI collaboration, arguing that alignment, process structure, and outcome quality are non-linearly related and require a structural analysis beyond simple outcome metrics.
This paper presents a device-agnostic surgical tool tracking framework that fuses multiple sensing modalities within a dynamic scene graph to overcome line-of-sight occlusions and enhance the robustness of augmented reality visualization in operating rooms.
This paper presents a co-designed generative AI tool that enables Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals to engage in music psychotherapy through visual and conversational songwriting, demonstrating that collaborative human-AI interaction can effectively facilitate emotional release and self-understanding for this underserved population.
The paper presents WeldAR, an Augmented Reality system integrated into welding equipment that provides real-time in-situ guidance to novices, demonstrating through a user study that it significantly improves welding performance and the transfer of embodied skills compared to traditional video instruction.
This paper presents SoulNote, a generative AI system designed to support Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals in engaging in iterative, multi-session songwriting as a reflective journaling practice that fosters emotional growth through self-insight, emotion regulation, and improved self-care attitudes.
This paper introduces the concept of "sense of misinformation"—the mistaken perception that truthful information is false—and demonstrates through a casino proposal case study how this phenomenon, driven by governance miscoordination and communication breakdowns, erodes community trust and democracy, while proposing design strategies to mitigate its harmful effects.
This paper presents a Wizard-of-Oz study analyzing the nonverbal behaviors of neurotypical and autistic children during open-ended interactions with embodied virtual agents, identifying specific interaction patterns and repetitive movements to inform the development of more inclusive socially interactive systems.
This paper argues that addressing AI misuse in education requires shifting from unreliable detection methods to a "Learning Visibility Framework" that treats the learning process as assessable evidence, thereby fostering ethical AI integration through transparency and shared understanding rather than surveillance.
This paper proposes a dual-mode human-robot joint planning system that combines an LLM-assisted active elicitation mechanism with real-time intent inference to effectively mitigate task-relevant knowledge gaps and latent human intent, significantly reducing interaction costs and execution time in open-world environments.
This paper introduces the AWARE evaluation framework to systematically analyze screen reader-assisted authentication, revealing that current two-factor and passwordless methods contain significant accessibility flaws that expose blind and visually impaired users to various security vulnerabilities.
This paper examines the governance of AI-generated content across 40 social media platforms, finding that while most focus on moderation and disclosure, few address ownership and monetization, prompting a call for more comprehensive policies and user education.
This paper proposes reframing human-AI-robot interaction as "scaffolding" rather than autonomy, positioning humans as creative directors who define intent and steer revisions while AI mediates robotic execution to support sustained human agency and creativity in open-ended environments.
This paper argues that socially assistive technology should shift its goal from fostering independence to achieving "relational sovereignty," a framework that empowers disabled individuals to choose between independence and interdependence by integrating self-determination theory, symbolic interactionism, and crip technoscience into a new design matrix and set of interventions.
This paper introduces the Three Praxes Framework, derived from a grounded theory analysis of 90 social accessibility studies (2011–2025), to map the field's fragmented practices across Artifact, Ecosystem, and Epistemology sites and advocate for an integrated cycle where lived experiences, material realities, and theoretical knowledge collectively transform access ecosystems.
