Yixuan Gao, Tanvir Ahmed, Zekun Chang +2
Wireless sensing technologies can now detect heartbeats using radio frequency and acoustic signals, raising significant privacy concerns. Existing privacy solutions either protect…
One Does Not Simply 'Mm-hmm': Exploring Backchanneling in the AAC Micro-Culture
Tobias Weinberg, Claire O'Connor, Ricardo E. Gonzalez Penuela +2
Backchanneling (e.g., "uh-huh", "hmm", a simple nod) encompasses a big part of everyday communication; it is how we negotiate the turn to speak, it signals our engagement, and shap…
THE WASTIVE: An Interactive Ebb and Flow of Digital Fabrication Waste
Yifan Shan, Bo Liu, Sebastian Bidegain +1
What if digital fabrication waste could observe the world? What would they see? What would they say? "THE WASTIVE" reimagines digital fabrication waste as sentient observers, givin…
