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 ...

As we navigate through the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), human-AI interactions have implications across various fields. Despite significant technical advancements, the interaction aspect remains challenging and continues to impact ...

UX assessment plays a key role in the development of user-quality software systems. However, the large number of available methods makes it challenging to choose the most suitable one for UX evaluation. In this paper, we present UXNator, a tool that ...

Multi-touch systems have been popularizing in the last years. This kind of system needs to pass through an evaluation to ensure they reach a good quality level. The usability and User eXperience (UX) indicators are well-fitted to provide the necessary ...

This panel addresses the question “How do we prepare undergraduate and graduate students for the future of communication design?” by assembling scholars/teachers who each share a pedagogical case of teaching UX. Across different institutions and programs,...

Remote proctoring technology, a cheating-preventive measure, often raises privacy and fairness concerns that may affect test-takers’ experiences and the validity of test results. Our study explores how selectively obfuscating information in video ...

In virtual reality (VR), large-scale applications present numerous challenges in navigation that must be addressed. Providing users with the freedom to move anywhere at any time is crucial for delivering an optimal immersive experience, particularly in ...

The overuse of technology and extended time in 3D virtual worlds by young children and teenagers have raised concerns among parents and teachers about potential negative impacts on their psychological well-being and real-world engagement. This paper ...

With technology for social good at the forefront of this work, we present a platform demonstrating the use of inclusive and accessible IT for education and other domains. The design and development of video sharing platform, “Signifier” is discussed, ...

The increasing popularity of analytics-driven design questions the role of direct user feedback to improve User Experience (UX). In this study, we first deployed an interaction tracking-tool on existing software to inform design decisions in an analytics-...

We describe a plugin-based architecture for developing component-based Qt applications for animation and visual effects, and discuss the benefits this approach offers in terms of code reuse, stability and consistency. We introduce an Application ...

Modeling is often associated with complex and heavy tooling, leading to a negative perception among practitioners. However, alternative paradigms, such as everything-as-code or low-code, are gaining acceptance due to their perceived ease of use. ...

The metaverse, which in essence interconnects ecosystems and channels (e.g. Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality, and Internet of Things), is challenging, not only in terms of system design, but also, self-efficacy and technology acceptance. ...

“Dark patterns,” which are known as deceptive designs that intentionally induce users to take actions that benefit the company, have been widely adopted, especially in the field of digital marketing. In recent years, there has been a global ...

This study presents MagniVR, an accessibility tool designed to enhance Virtual Reality experiences for individuals with low vision. The primary objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of MagniVR and provide a user-...

Previous studies on mobile games have predominantly concentrated on the pre-adoption phase, neglecting post-adoption behaviors. Furthermore, existing research has often treated game players as a collective entity concerning their gaming needs and ...

This workshop is the second edition and aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the engineering of interactive systems that embed AI technologies (as for instance, AI-based recommender systems) or that use AI during the ...

Given the significant potential of interactive systems to enhance daily accessibility through user-friendly interfaces, there is a growing interest in addressing these technologies to individuals with intellectual disabilities. Hence, many researchers ...

Archives hold vast amounts of historical and cultural information, but navigating and extracting knowledge can be a daunting task. Machine learning (ML) offers immense potential to unlock these archives, yet its effectiveness hinges on understanding ...

Large Language Models have become an integral part of new intelligent and interactive writing assistants. Many are offered commercially with a chatbot-like UI, such as ChatGPT, and provide little information about their inner workings. This makes this ...
