While creative artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming integral to our lives, we know little about what makes us call AI “creative”. Informed by prior theoretical and empirical work, we investigate how perceiving evidence of a creative act beyond the ...

The feeling of being in control of the actions of a self-avatar (sense of agency) is a crucial factor of VR embodiment, but the exact role of avatar appearance in this context is not clear yet. Current research on sense of agency in the field of ...

Virtual Reality (VR) has enabled novel ways to study embodiment and understand how a virtual avatar may be treated as part of a person’s body. These studies mainly employ virtual bodies perceived from a first-person perspective, given that VR has a ...

Mirrly is a new humanoid robot designed to facilitate human-robot social interactions, focusing on applications in therapy and education for children. Inspired by the need for engaging and effective interactions, Mirrly’s design incorporates a friendly ...

In the context of rapid technological and social changes futures thinking is essential for leadership and organizations to navigate uncertainties. Traditional methods might lack engagement and creativity in business contexts. This paper explores ...

This paper describes the background, design, and exhibition of Embodied Visions, three interactive installations that contend with the disembodying tendencies of contemporary digital imaging. Each installation encourages the participants to interact with ...

This paper proposes a grasped-type controller that utilizes user’s fingers’ force-inputs into an embodied and continuous virtual self body motion in virtual reality. The proposed system allows users embodied interactions with virtual objects and walk in ...

Somatosensory experiences beyond the audio-visual, such as haptics, should be intentionally incorporated into pedagogical designs within serious games. Creating alternative controllers for serious games that externally represent domain-specific ...

Children with Attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit higher levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity compared to their typically developing peers, impacting their daily functioning. To characterize the effects of ADHD,...

Making the interaction with embodied conversational agents accessible in a ubiquitous and natural manner is not only a question of the underlying software but also brings challenges in terms of the technical system that is used to display them. To this ...

Historically, paradigms in interaction design have often imposed normative standards, marginalizing diverse bodies and capabilities. As critical works have started to call for acknowledging and catering to a variety of bodies in our designs, we need ...

This paper presents a novel experiment investigating the relationship between virtual disembodiment and time perception in Virtual Reality (VR). Recent work demonstrated that the absence of a virtual body in a VR application changes the perception of ...

This paper presents an openly available implementation of a modular pipeline architecture for character animation. It effectively decomposes frequently necessary processing steps into dedicated character processors, such as copying data from various ...

With the rise of remote teams, there is an increasing need for effective ways to foster positive team dynamics and outcomes across distances. One tool created for enhancing team dynamics is the Six Hats method, which encourages team members to tackle ...

The intelligent virtual agent community often works from the assumption that embodiment confers clear benefits to human-machine interaction. However, embodiment has potential drawbacks in highlighting the salience of social stereotypes such as those ...

The application of advanced embodied technologies, particularly virtual reality (VR), has been suggested as a means to induce the full-body illusion (FBI). This technology is employed to modify different facets of bodily self-consciousness, which ...

The rise of movement-based design (MBD) is fueled by the integration of computer technology into the movement of the everyday. Departing from traditional interface design, MBD prioritizes natural interaction, SportsHCI, and health promotion through ...

Informed by legacies of textile activism, we design Resistive Threads as a wearable probe to investigate potential roles and trajectories of electronic streetwear in US urban social movements. Resistive Threads is an interactive denim jacket that ...

• Mental walking speed is reduced when using an elderly versus a neutral avatar.
• The Proteus effect is not more pronounced the higher the sense of embodiment.
• The link between the Proteus effect and implicit self-perception needs ...

The Proteus effect refers to the tendency for individuals to conform to the stereotypes related to the visual characteristics of the avatar used in a virtual environment. If the phenomenon has been widely observed, underlying mechanisms (e.g., ...

We present a retrospective autoethnography grounded in data-driven design. The first author collected her movement data and subjective experience of learning the dance repertoire of modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan, which together were encoded into ...
