Modernizing User Privacy Preference Measurement through GPPI: A GDPR-aligned Privacy Preference Item Bank
Yahya Hmaiti, Mykola Maslych, Amirpouya Ghasemaghaei +4
Privacy measurement instruments (e.g., CFIP, IUIPC, PAQ) predate GDPR by over a decade and measure privacy concerns, distinct from preferences for regulatory protections (e.g., dat…
PromptAudit: Auditing Prompt Sensitivity in LLM-Based Vulnerability Detection
Steffen J. Camarato, Yahya Hmaiti, Mandana Ghadamian +1
Large language models are increasingly used for vulnerability detection, yet their reliability under different prompt formulations remains uncharacterized. We present PromptAudit,…
From One World to Another: Interfaces for Efficiently Transitioning Between Virtual Environments
Matt Gottsacker, Yahya Hmaiti, Mykola Maslych +5
Personal computers and handheld devices provide keyboard shortcuts and swipe gestures to enable users to efficiently switch between applications, whereas today's virtual reality (V…
Towards Deeper Understanding of Natural User Interactions in Virtual Reality Based Assembly Tasks
Ryan Ghamandi, Yahya Hmaiti, Mykola Maslych +2
We explore natural user interactions using a virtual reality simulation of a robot arm for assembly tasks. Using a Wizard-of-Oz study, participants completed collaborative LEGO and…
XR-First Design for Productivity: A Conceptual Framework for Enabling Efficient Task Switching in XR
Matt Gottsacker, Yahya Hmaiti, Mykola Maslych +3
A core component of completing tasks efficiently in computer-supported knowledge work is the ability for users to rapidly switch their focus (and interaction) across different appl…
Mitigating Response Delays in Free-Form Conversations with LLM-powered Intelligent Virtual Agents
Mykola Maslych, Mohammadreza Katebi, Christopher Lee +9
We investigated the challenges of mitigating response delays in free-form conversations with virtual agents powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) within Virtual Reality (VR). For…
A Culturally-diverse Multilingual Multimodal Video Benchmark & Model
Bhuiyan Sanjid Shafique, Ashmal Vayani, Muhammad Maaz +26
Large multimodal models (LMMs) have recently gained attention due to their effectiveness to understand and generate descriptions of visual content. Most existing LMMs are in Englis…
Exploring Perception-Based Techniques for Redirected Walking in VR: A Comprehensive Survey
Bradley Coles, Yahya Hmaiti, Joseph J. LaViola
We present a comprehensive survey of perception-based redirected walking (RDW) techniques in virtual reality (VR), presenting a taxonomy that serves as a framework for understandin…
The Fidelity-based Presence Scale (FPS): Modeling the Effects of Fidelity on Sense of Presence
Jacob Belga, Richard Skarbez, Yahya Hmaiti +3
Within the virtual reality (VR) research community, there have been several efforts to develop questionnaires with the aim of better understanding the sense of presence. Despite ha…
All Languages Matter: Evaluating LMMs on Culturally Diverse 100 Languages
Ashmal Vayani, Dinura Dissanayake, Hasindri Watawana +66
Existing Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) generally focus on only a few regions and languages. As LMMs continue to improve, it is increasingly important to ensure they understand cul…
Effects of Clutter on Egocentric Distance Perception in Virtual Reality
Sina Masnadi, Yahya Hmaiti, Eugene Taranta +1
To assess the impact of clutter on egocentric distance perception, we performed a mixed-design study with 60 participants in four different virtual environments (VEs) with three le…
