Mixed Reality (MR) enables rich, embodied collaboration; however, it is uncertain whether sensor- and system-logged behavioral signals capture how users experience that collaboration. This disconnect stems from a fundamental gap. Behavioral…
Spatial cognition enables adaptive goal-directed behavior by constructing internal models of space. Robust biological systems consolidate spatial knowledge into three interconnected forms: \textit{landmarks} for salient cues, \textit{route…
In most scenarios, conditional image generation can be thought of as an inversion of the image understanding process. Since generic image understanding involves solving multiple tasks, it is natural to aim at generating images via…
