Time perception is proven to be influenced by various factors, yet integrating these factors into a cohesive experience remains challenging. Our research explores creating a virtual environment where participants engage in short-term activities while ...

All parts of an audio processing chain introduce latency. Previous studies have shown that high audio latency may negatively impact human performance in different scenarios, e.g., when performing live music or when interacting with real-time human-...

User preferences follow a dynamic pattern over a day, e.g., at 8 am, a user might prefer to read news, while at 8 pm, they might prefer to watch movies. Time modeling aims to enable recommendation systems to perceive time changes to capture users' ...

This paper investigates the relationship between perceived object motion and the experience of time in virtual environments. We developed an application to measure how the motion properties of virtual objects and the degree of immersion and embodiment ...

The time elapsed during a virtual reality (VR) experience is estimated to be short. Time estimation, a feeling related to timescales longer than a few seconds, is thought to be related to interoception. The shortening of time estimation may be caused by ...

Many large-scale multi-robot systems require human input during operation in different applications. To still minimize the human effort, interaction is intermittent or restricted to a subset of robots. Despite this reduced demand for human interaction, ...

Crowd-powered conversational systems (CPCS) are gaining considerable attention for their potential utility in a variety of application domains, for which automated conversational interfaces are still too limited. CPCS currently suffer from long response ...

In many cases, individuals with cognitive impairments are unable to use basic daily living aids such as a watch and are therefore not able to plan or even go through their daily lives without additional help. For this reason, we developed iteratively ...

Time perception is an essential component of a user's experience and interaction in immersive virtual environments. This paper explores the performance and subjective time perception when carrying out a cognitive task in a virtual environment while ...

Research on intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) often concerns the implementation of human-like behavior by integrating artificial intelligence algorithms. Thus far, few studies focused on mimicry of cognitive imperfections inherent to humans in IVAs. ...

Conversational Agents (CA) have become one of the common user interfaces in many online domains. In this paper, we ask whether users have a preference about the personality of CAs, and whether this preference changes depending on the length and type of ...

This paper analyses the human time perception mechanism regarding the use of analogue clocks based on the design theory of analogue on digital (AoD theory). With the examination, the authors would propose the method to apply the design elements of ...

How much music contributes to player experience (PX) in virtual reality (VR) games remains unclear in the games user research literature. A core factor of PX in VR games that has not been studied before (in relation to audio or otherwise) is time ...

LUNE is a displayed lighting object representing time. It provides real-time lighting visualized moon phase. People can recognize the date of month through abstract image of moon. This product was developed to investigate the use of metaphor from ...

Time perception has been typically investigated from cognitivism and internalist approaches. In this opinion, I sketch an outline to suggest how time experience is constituted on the subjective interactions with the sociomaterial environment. For this ...

People often feel dissatisfied when their subjective time (i.e. time that is subjectively experienced) is different from the objective time (i.e. time that is determined objectively). Because it is difficult for one to control his/her sense of time, ...

While we perceive time as a constant factor in the real world, it can be manipulated in media. Being quite easy for linear media, this is used for various aspects of storytelling e.g., by applying slow motion in movies or TV. Interactive media like VR ...

Research shows that people with ADHD have difficulties adjusting to the normative structure of time. Through an iterative participatory design process with students diagnosed with ADHD, different conceptions and representations of time were explored to ...

Due to the tremendous economic value of search result pages, search engine companies have invested a lot to improve their quality. Recently, much effort has been made to directly model key aspects of users' interactions with search system, for example, ...

Time plays an essential role in multiple areas of Information Retrieval (IR) studies such as search evaluation, user behavior analysis, temporal search result ranking and query understanding. Especially, in search evaluation studies, time is usually ...
