Multimodal simulations augment the presentation of abstract concepts facilitating theoretical models understanding and learning. Most simulations only engage two of our five senses: sight and hearing. If we employ additional sensory…
We present a prototype demonstrator that integrates three technologies, mixed reality head-mounted displays, wearable bio-sensors, and mid-air haptic projectors to deliver an interactive tactile experience with a bio-hologram. Users of this…
With the advancement of generative models, the synthesis of different sensory elements such as music, visuals, and speech has achieved significant realism. However, the approach to generate multi-sensory outputs has not been fully explored,…
Scene Designer is a novel method for searching and generating images using free-hand sketches of scene compositions; i.e. drawings that describe both the appearance and relative positions of objects. Our core contribution is a single…
EmpathiCH aims at bringing together and blend different expertise to develop new research agenda in the context of "Empathy-Centric Design at Scale". The main research question is to investigate how new technologies can contribute to the…
We propose HuPER, a human-inspired framework that models phonetic perception as adaptive inference over acoustic-phonetics evidence and linguistic knowledge. With only 100 hours of training data, HuPER achieves state-of-the-art phonetic…
Prototyping AI applications is notoriously difficult. While large language model (LLM) prompting has dramatically lowered the barriers to AI prototyping, designers are still prototyping AI functionality and UI separately. We investigate how…
Taller and sleeker smartphone devices are becoming the new norm. More screen space and very responsive touchscreens have made for enjoyable experiences available to us at all times. However, after years of interacting with smaller, portable…
Narrative sensemaking is a fundamental process to understand sequential information. Narrative maps are a visual representation framework that can aid analysts in their narrative sensemaking process. Narrative maps allow analysts to…
Communication signals often comprise an array of colors, lines, spots, notes or odors that are arranged in complex patterns, melodies or blends. Receiver perception is assumed to influence preference and thus the evolution of signal design,…
Recent years have seen a shift from a pattern mining process that has users define constraints before-hand, and sift through the results afterwards, to an interactive one. This new framework depends on exploiting user feedback to learn a…
Shape is commonly used to distinguish between categories in multi-class scatterplots. However, existing guidelines for choosing effective shape palettes rely largely on intuition and do not consider how these needs may change as the number…
This paper explores the idea of using virtual textural terrains as a means of generating haptic profiles for force-feedback controllers. This approach breaks from the para-digm established within audio-haptic research over the last few…
In this work, we introduce StageDesigner, the first comprehensive framework for artistic stage generation using large language models combined with layout-controlled diffusion models. Given the professional requirements of stage…
Auditory, haptic, and visual stimuli provide alerts, notifications, and information for a wide variety of applications ranging from virtual reality to wearable and hand-held devices. Response times to these stimuli have been used to assess…
In this research, we have developed a haptic situational awareness device that presents users with directional cues through continuous vibrotactile sensations. Using the device, we present user studies on the effectiveness of a…
Sound synthesiser controls typically correspond to technical parameters of signal processing algorithms rather than intuitive sound descriptors that relate to human perception of sound. This makes it difficult to realise sound ideas in a…
$ $"Fast Fashion" spearheads the biggest disruption in fashion that enabled to engineer resilient supply chains to quickly respond to changing fashion trends. The conventional design process in commercial manufacturing is often fed through…
Vibrotactile signals offer new possibilities for conveying sensations and emotions in various applications. Yet, designing vibrotactile tactile icons (i.e., Tactons) to evoke specific feelings often requires a trial-and-error process and…
In this work, we address the issue of a virtual representation of objects of cultural heritage for haptic interaction. Our main focus is to provide haptic access to artistic objects of any physical scale to the differently-abled people.…
