Much research has been conducted on how consumption is related to human relations, for example, consumer communities organized around specific brands, or the way people use products to define their own identity and transmit a desired image.…
This study investigates behavioral intention to use healthcare metaverse platforms among medical students and physicians in Turkey, where such technologies are in early stages of adoption. A multi-theoretical research model was developed by…
We present a dataset generated to investigate urban heat and thermal perception across five neighborhoods in the Barcelona metropolitan area. In collaboration with 14 non-academic partner organizations, we conducted a series of citizen…
In computer vision research, especially when novel applications of tools are developed, ethical implications around user perceptions of trust in the underlying technology should be considered and supported. Here, we describe an example of…
Different from shopping at retail stores, consumers on e-commerce platforms usually cannot touch or try products before purchasing, which means that they have to make decisions when they are uncertain about the outcome (e.g., satisfaction…
Fashion preference is a fuzzy concept that depends on customer taste, prevailing norms in fashion product/style, henceforth used interchangeably, and a customer's perception of utility or fashionability, yet fashion e-retail relies on…
Food texture is a complex property; various sensory attributes such as perceived crispiness and wetness have been identified as ways to quantify it. Objective and automatic recognition of these attributes has applications in multiple…
The passive body-area electrostatic field has recently been aspiringly explored for wearable motion sensing, harnessing its two thrilling characteristics: full-body motion sensitivity and environmental sensitivity, which potentially…
Experience Sampling has been considered the golden standard of in-situ measurement, yet, at the expense of high burden to participants. In this paper we propose Technology-Assisted Reconstruction (TAR), a methodological approach that…
Photovoltaic generation plays a central role in the energy transition, yet understanding its adoption dynamics requires robust analytical frameworks that capture both temporal and spatial patterns of decision behavior. This study applies a…
Health trackers are widely adopted to support users with daily health and wellness tracking. They can help increase steps taken, enhance sleeping pattern, improve healthy diet, and promote overall health. Despite the growth in the adoption…
The emotional response a person has to a living space is predominantly affected by light, color and texture as space-making elements. In order to verify whether this phenomenon could be replicated in a simulated environment, we conducted a…
Fundamental concepts of thermodynamics rely on abstract physical quantities such as energy, heat and entropy, which play an important role in the process of interpreting thermal phenomena and statistical mechanics. However, these quantities…
Suppose that we wish to estimate a user's preference vector $w$ from paired comparisons of the form "does user $w$ prefer item $p$ or item $q$?," where both the user and items are embedded in a low-dimensional Euclidean space with distances…
Leveraging the integration of visual and proprioceptive cues, research has uncovered various perception thresholds in VR that can be exploited to support haptic feedback for grasping. While previous studies have explored individual…
This paper presents an efficient approach for building occupancy modeling to reduce energy consumption. In this work, a novel approach to occupancy modeling based on the posture and comfort level of the occupant is developed, and…
Intrinsic image decomposition is a severely under-constrained problem. User interactions can help to reduce the ambiguity of the decomposition considerably. The traditional way of user interaction is to draw scribbles that indicate regions…
Recommendation systems rely on user-provided data to learn about item quality and provide personalized recommendations. An implicit assumption when aggregating ratings into item quality is that ratings are strong indicators of item quality.…
A fast inverse heat conduction model (IHCM) is developed for estimating unknown properties of multi-layer composites considering internal heat generation. This work builds on the validated analytical forward models presented in Part I.…
We introduce Multi-Object Generative Perception (MultiGP), a generative inverse rendering method for stochastic sampling of all radiometric constituents -- reflectance, texture, and illumination -- underlying object appearance from a single…
