Seeing through the Eyes of AI: Situated Explainability in Augmented Reality
Ana Stanescu, Lucchas Ribeiro Skreinig, Tobias Langlotz +5
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables humans to understand and interpret decisions of AI models. Instead of having a black box, explainability supports humans in underst…
The Missing Link of XR: Empathy-Driven Reality for XR and Beyond
Yun Suen Pai, Tamil Selvan Gunasekaran, Jiashuo Cao +23
Extended reality (XR) for socialising is becoming increasingly popular. However, unlike conventional social platforms, XR prioritises embodiment and immersion, factors that strongl…
"When I see Jodie, I feel relaxed": Examining the Impact of a Virtual Supporter in Remote Psychotherapy
Jiashuo Cao, Chen Li, Wujie Gao +3
Virtual agents have shown promising potential in mental health applications, but current research has predominantly focused on contexts outside of traditional therapy sessions. Thi…
Investigating AI in Peer Support via Multi-Module System-Driven Embodied Conversational Agents
Ruoyu Wen, Xiaoli Wu, Kunal Gupta +5
Young people's mental well-being is a global concern, with peer support playing a key role in daily emotional regulation. Conversational agents are increasingly viewed as promising…
HeadZoom: Hands-Free Zooming and Panning for 2D Image Navigation Using Head Motion
Kaining Zhang, Catarina Moreira, Pedro Belchior +3
We introduce \textit{HeadZoom}, a hands-free interaction technique for navigating two-dimensional visual content using head movements. HeadZoom enables fluid zooming and panning us…
Empathetic Conversational Agents: Utilizing Neural and Physiological Signals for Enhanced Empathetic Interactions
Nastaran Saffaryazdi, Tamil Selvan Gunasekaran, Kate Laveys +2
Conversational agents (CAs) are revolutionizing human-computer interaction by evolving from text-based chatbots to empathetic digital humans (DHs) capable of rich emotional express…
Using Virtual Reality as a Simulation Tool for Augmented Reality Virtual Windows: Effects on Cognitive Workload and Task Performance
Tianyu Liu, Weiping He, Mark Billinghurst
Virtual content in Augmented Reality (AR) applications can be constructed according to the designer's requirements, but real environments, are difficult to be accurate control or c…
Explorations in Designing Virtual Environments for Remote Counselling
Jiashuo Cao, Wujie Gao, Yun Suen Pai +4
The advent of technology-enhanced interventions has significantly transformed mental health services, offering new opportunities for delivering psychotherapy, particularly in remot…
Large Language Models for Automatic Detection of Sensitive Topics
Ruoyu Wen, Stephanie Elena Crowe, Kunal Gupta +6
Sensitive information detection is crucial in content moderation to maintain safe online communities. Assisting in this traditionally manual process could relieve human moderators…
Integrating Physiological Data with Large Language Models for Empathic Human-AI Interaction
Poorvesh Dongre, Majid Behravan, Kunal Gupta +2
This paper explores enhancing empathy in Large Language Models (LLMs) by integrating them with physiological data. We propose a physiological computing approach that includes devel…
Putting Our Minds Together: Iterative Exploration for Collaborative Mind Mapping
Ying Yang, Tim Dwyer, Zachari Swiecki +6
We delineate the development of a mind-mapping system designed concurrently for both VR and desktop platforms. Employing an iterative methodology with groups of users, we systemati…
VR.net: A Real-world Dataset for Virtual Reality Motion Sickness Research
Elliott Wen, Chitralekha Gupta, Prasanth Sasikumar +5
Researchers have used machine learning approaches to identify motion sickness in VR experience. These approaches demand an accurately-labeled, real-world, and diverse dataset for h…
Synthesizing Affective Neurophysiological Signals Using Generative Models: A Review Paper
Alireza F. Nia, Vanessa Tang, Gonzalo Maso Talou +1
The integration of emotional intelligence in machines is an important step in advancing human-computer interaction. This demands the development of reliable end-to-end emotion reco…
Wish You Were Here: Mental and Physiological Effects of Remote Music Collaboration in Mixed Reality
Ruben Schlagowski, Dariia Nazarenko, Yekta Can +4
With face-to-face music collaboration being severely limited during the recent pandemic, mixed reality technologies and their potential to provide musicians a feeling of "being the…
Towards Immersive Collaborative Sensemaking
Ying Yang, Tim Dwyer, Michael Wybrow +4
When collaborating face-to-face, people commonly use the surfaces and spaces around them to perform sensemaking tasks, such as spatially organising documents, notes or images. Howe…
