Human-Robot Interaction and Perceived Irrationality: A Study of Trust Dynamics and Error Acknowledgment

As robots become increasingly integrated into various industries, understanding how humans respond to robotic failures is critical. This study systematically examines trust dynamics and system design by analyzing human reactions to robot failures. We conducted a four-stage survey to explore how trust evolves throughout...

Do Vision-Language Models Agree on the Affective Qualities of Shape? A Cross-Model Audit for Generative Design Interfaces

Generative design interfaces increasingly expose semantic controls that let users steer output with concepts such as"more elegant"or"more minimalist,"typically encoded by a vision-language model (VLM). A practical question is whether state-of-the-art VLMs represent objects consistently in terms of the same concept. We...

"It depends on where AI is used": Players' attitude patterns and evaluative logics toward different AI applications in digital games

Examination of players'evaluative patterns toward eight AI application contexts shows that players welcomed AI when it enhanced immersion, personalization, novelty, efficiency, or convenience, but resisted it when it threatened creativity, emotional authenticity, autonomy, fairness, system stability, authorship, or acc...

KnowTeX: Visualizing Mathematical Dependencies

KnowTeX is presented, a standalone Python tool that extracts dependency graphs directly from LaTeX sources without requiring any external framework and how it complements recent tools such as LeanArchitect, which operates from the Lean side, while KnowTeX works entirely on the LaTeX side without requiring any formaliza...

The Perceptual Cost of Passthrough: How Video See-Through HMDs Degrade Human Visual Perception of Acuity, Contrast, and Color

This work presents an end-to-end perceptual benchmark for three popular VST headsets: Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, and Meta Quest Pro and shows measurable gaps between VST and naked-eye performance, especially for visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in low-light environments.

Household Plastic Recycling: Empirical Insights and Design Explorations

This article examines household plastic recycling in Finland through two qualitative studies and four design concepts. Study 1 reports short interviews with residents about how they store, sort, and dispose of plastic packaging in their homes. The findings highlight recurring frictions: limited space, improvised storag...

Virtual Reality in Service Design for Plastics Recycling: Two Application Cases

Plastics recycling depends on everyday sorting practices and on how recycling services are communicated and experienced. Virtual reality (VR) can present these practices and services in situated, interactive form, yet its role in service design for plastics recycling is still emerging. This paper examines how VR tools...

Human-AI Teaming Under Deception: An Implicit BCI Safeguards Drone Team Performance in Virtual Reality

It is concluded that an implicit BCI provides resilience by learning to bypass a compromised executive networks and access the preserved sensory representation of ground truth, defending against AI-induced error in high-stakes environments.

Privacy-Preserving Gaze Interaction: Reducing Re-Identification Without Degrading Utility

A dual-assessment framework is introduced that scores any real-time gaze transformation on two axes at once: interaction utility, measured through an offline gaze-interaction simulation and an operational spatial-accuracy metric, and privacy preservation, measured through the Rank-1 Identification Rate of a state-of-th...

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…
