Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island face disproportionate rates of disappearance and murder, a genocide rooted in settler-colonial violence and systemic erasure. Technology plays a crucial role in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) crisis: it perpetuates systemic violence and impedes investigation...

Text-to-3D generation lowers the barrier to 3D content creation, but text alone is a weak interface for specifying spatial intent: where parts should be placed, how they relate, and how an object should be organized in 3D. We present HandMade, a workflow that combines VR 3D sketching and language for open-domain 3D ass...

Stress and anxiety are common, and there is growing interest in using VR/AR for training coping skills. However, these skills are meant to be applied during real-world distress, while existing interventions largely focus on calm or abstract settings. Little is known about how simulating realistic environments affects s...

Two complementary studies to characterize creativity in data visualization are presented, indicating that artifacts or final products are often disproportionately considered as the primary indicator of creativity, whereas the design process remains undervalued in practical.

This paper presents a web-based application for navigating and composing microtonal harmony, built on the Harmonic Eigenspace, a four-dimensional psychoacoustically grounded space in which tetrad chord types are located by their spectral dissonance profiles, computed with Sethares's roughness/dissonance model. The coor...
Communication in shared space interweaves verbal and non-verbal signals, and pointing gestures anchor language to the environment:"put the cup on that one"is uninterpretable without the gesture that fixes the referent. Yet no common framework exists for evaluating whether generated gestures indicate their intended refe...

AI can help adults produce plausible workplace artefacts while leaving their independent reasoning difficult to inspect. LearnAdapt Praxis addresses this design problem through a five-stage learning workspace: Frame, Learn, Build, Validate and Transfer. The application stores an initial response, versioned specificatio...
Technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) is an emerging gendered public health crisis affecting millions of people across the globe. TFA coincides with other forms of gender-based violence (GBV), such as emotional, psychological, and physical abuse by an intimate partner. Survivors often seek support from GBV advocates who s...

This work studies how people interpret an interactive Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) risk interface and whether interacting with it influences their attitudes toward behavioural change and highlights the importance of intuitive visual design, familiar presentation, and clear explanations in patient-facing ML interfaces.

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables humans to understand and interpret decisions of AI models. Instead of having a black box, explainability supports humans in understanding AI models'behavior. Existing explainable AI approaches often present explanations on 2D displays using pre-recorded data, requiring u...

Air-conditioning and road-traffic noise are common in classrooms, and their effects are often judged by cognitive performance. However, a sound that leaves performance unchanged may still be perceived differently or alter brain activity. In a within-participant design, this study tested whether perceived, cognitive, an...
Understanding human cognitive activity in everyday life remains challenging due to the dynamic, context-dependent, and multimodal nature of cognition. Laboratory-based studies often fail to capture real-world cognitive processes, while single-modality approaches provide only partial insight into cognitive states. Advan...
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…
