As an increasing number of interactive devices offer human-like assistance, there is a growing need to understand the human experience of interactive agents. When interactive artefacts with human-like features become intertwined in our…
Interactive fiction is a literary genre that is rapidly gaining popularity. In this genre, readers are able to explicitly take actions in order to guide the course of the story. With the recent popularity of narrative focused games, we…
Research on metaphor has steadily increased over the last decades, as this phenomenon opens a window into a range of linguistic and cognitive processes. At the same time, the demand for rigorously constructed and extensively normed…
The Metaverse encompasses technologies related to the internet, virtual and augmented reality, and other domains toward smart interfaces that are hyper-connected, immersive, and engaging. However, Metaverse applications face inherent…
The rise of Mixed Reality (MR) stimulates new interactive techniques that seamlessly blend the virtual and physical environments. Just as virtual content could be overlayed onto the physical world for providing adaptive user interfaces [5,…
Data-driven stories seek to inform and persuade audiences through the use of data visualisations and engaging narratives. These stories have now been highly optimised to be viewed on desktop and mobile computers. In contrast, while…
While Virtual Reality (VR) systems have become increasingly immersive, they still rely predominantly on visual input, which can constrain perceptual performance when visual information is limited. Incorporating additional sensory…
Gaps and requirements for multi-modal interfaces for humanities can be explored by observing the configuration of real-world environments and the tasks of visitors within them compared to digital environments. Examples include stores,…
Visual Storytelling is a challenging multimodal task between Vision & Language, where the purpose is to generate a story for a stream of images. Its difficulty lies on the fact that the story should be both grounded to the image sequence…
Drawing on observations from three prior studies with youth aged 13--24, we examine how metaphor shapes the way young people reason about privacy and imagine privacy designs beyond settings panels. Spatial metaphors made complex permission…
Although explainable computational creativity seeks to create and sustain computational models of creativity that foster a collaboratively creative process through explainability, there remains little to no work in supporting designers when…
This position paper is aimed at providing some history and provocations for the use of an ecological metaphor to describe software development environments. We do not claim that the ecological metaphor is the best or only way of looking at…
Personal computers and handheld devices provide keyboard shortcuts and swipe gestures to enable users to efficiently switch between applications, whereas today's virtual reality (VR) systems do not. In this work, we present an exploratory…
This work investigates how weight and pressure can function as haptic metaphors to support user interface notifications in Virtual Reality (VR). While prior research has explored ungrounded weight simulation and pneumatic feedback, their…
Conversational interfaces are likely to become more efficient, intuitive and engaging way for human-computer interaction than today's text or touch-based interfaces. Current research efforts concerning conversational interfaces focus…
Machine Learning (ML) is becoming more prevalent in the systems we use daily. Yet designers of these systems are under-equipped to design with these technologies. Recently, interactive visualizations have been used to present ML concepts to…
Visual metaphors are powerful rhetorical devices used to persuade or communicate creative ideas through images. Similar to linguistic metaphors, they convey meaning implicitly through symbolism and juxtaposition of the symbols. We propose a…
The advent of increasingly-growing virtual realities poses unprecedented opportunities and challenges to different societies. Artistic collectives are not an exception, and we here aim to put special attention into musicians. Compositions,…
This paper addresses the concept of materiality in virtual environments, which we define as being composed of objects that can influence user experience actively. Such virtual materiality is closely related to its physical counterpart,…
Visual blends combine elements from two distinct visual concepts into a single, integrated image, with the goal of conveying ideas through imaginative and often thought-provoking visuals. Communicating abstract concepts through visual…
