Measuring Browser Webcam Gaze Honestly: A Capture-Clock Methodology and Open Reference Implementation

Browser-based webcam gaze trackers are increasingly used for crowd-scale data collection and in clinical settings where lab eye trackers are impractical, but the reported latency numbers may not represent real world functionality. The common practice of timestamping each gaze sample when it is emitted, rather than when...

Gaze-Informed Proactive AI Assistance for Children's Picture Exploration

Ollie is introduced, a gaze-informed proactive artificial intelligence (AI) assistant that offers short narrative descriptions based on where a child is looking that shows the feasibility of using gaze as an implicit input for proactive AI assistance for children and provides design implications for future child-center...

OriFeel: Origami-Inspired Tactile Feedback via Surface Folding

People passively interact with ambient surfaces such as tables, chair backs, and armrests throughout daily life, making them natural candidates for ubiquitous tactile interfaces. However, transforming these everyday surfaces into practical haptic interfaces remains challenging. Existing solutions typically rely on dens...

Prompting with Sign Parameters for Low-resource Sign Language Instruction Generation

Sign Parameter-Infused (SPI) prompting is introduced, which integrates standard SL parameters, like hand shape, motion, and orientation, directly into the textual prompts, which makes the instructions more structured and reproducible than free-form natural text from vanilla prompting.

Exploring Multimodal Prompt for Visualization Authoring with Large Language Models

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential in automating the process of visualization authoring through simple natural language utterances. However, instructing LLMs using natural language is limited in precision and expressiveness for conveying visualization intent, leading to misinterp...

The Convention Gap: Beyond Literal Content in Human-AI Cooperation

It is proved that the population gap is zero when the partner's choices convey nothing beyond their literal content, given a fair shuffle and a player who uses only what was said and seen, and argued for reporting the convention gap on human-partnered play, not only AI-AI performance, when evaluating agents intended fo...

Evaluating Scaffolding-Oriented Multi-Agent Large Language Model System for Clinical Interview Training

Clinical education must prepare medical students to conduct safe and coherent patient interviews under conditions of uncertainty. Traditional standardized patient (SP) training is resource-intensive and difficult to scale. We developed a scaffolding-oriented multi-agent Large Language Model (LLM) AI Standardized Patien...

Designing Technology for Social Wellbeing in Built Environments: A Conceptual Framework

A conceptual framework is proposed composed of three core components which are drawn on the synthesis of selected empirical studies on technologies embedded in built environments for social wellbeing that could help researchers, practitioners and policymakers to design and guide digital technology interventions that ta...

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
