XARP Tools: An Extended Reality Platform for Humans and AI Agents
Arthur Caetano, Radha Kumaran, Kelvin Jou +2
Building XR-AI research prototypes requires navigating two largely separate ecosystems. Mainstream XR development relies on C#/C++ and game engines, while AI development is centere…
SABER: Spatial Attention, Brain, Extended Reality
Tom Bullock, Emily Machniak, You-Jin Kim +9
Tracking moving objects is a critical skill for many everyday tasks, such as crossing a busy street, driving a car or catching a ball. Attention is a key cognitive function that su…
Scene Awareness While Using Multiple Navigation Aids in AR Search
Radha Kumaran, You-Jin Kim, Emily Machniak +5
Augmented reality (AR) allows virtual information to be presented in the real world, providing support for numerous tasks including search and navigation. Allowing users access to…
On the Go with AR: Attention to Virtual and Physical Targets while Varying Augmentation Density
You-Jin Kim, Radha Kumaran, Jingjing Luo +3
Augmented reality is projected to be a primary mode of information consumption on the go, seamlessly integrating virtual content into the physical world. However, the potential per…
Modeling Object Attention in Mobile AR for Intrinsic Cognitive Security
Shane Dirksen, Radha Kumaran, You-Jin Kim +2
We study attention in mobile Augmented Reality (AR) using object recall as a proxy outcome. We observe that the ability to recall an object (physical or virtual) that was encounter…
Agentic Workflows for Conversational Human-AI Interaction Design
Arthur Caetano, Kavya Verma, Atieh Taheri +5
Conversational human-AI interaction (CHAI) have recently driven mainstream adoption of AI. However, CHAI poses two key challenges for designers and researchers: users frequently ha…
