Legal professionals spend significant time reading, writing, and interpreting complex documents, yet research has not fully captured how they approach these tasks or what they expect from skimming and writing-support tools. To examine…
This work examines how AI, especially agentic systems, is being adopted in engineering and manufacturing workflows, what value it provides today, and what is needed for broader deployment. This is an exploratory and qualitative…
While AI has benefited humans, it may also harm humans if not appropriately developed. The focus of HCI work is transiting from conventional human interaction with non-AI computing systems to interaction with AI systems. We conducted a…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for online recruitment markets have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of job placements and even promote fairness or inclusive hiring practices. Neglecting Diversity…
Social contexts play an important role in understanding acceptance and use of technology. However, current approaches used in HCI to describe contextual influence do not capture it appropriately. On the one hand, the often used Technology…
In our increasingly diverse society, everyday physical interfaces often present barriers, impacting individuals across various contexts. This oversight, from small cabinet knobs to identical wall switches that can pose different contextual…
In developing and underdeveloped regions, many 'Blind Colleges' exclusively enroll individuals with Blindness or Vision Impairment (BLV) for higher education. While advancements in accessible technologies have facilitated BLV student…
Speech is becoming increasingly popular as an interface modality, especially in hands- and eyes-busy situations where the use of a keyboard or mouse is difficult. However, despite the fact that many have hailed speech as being inherently…
Virtual reality is expected to play a significant role in the transformation of education and psychological studies. The possibilities for its application as a visual research method can be enhanced as established frameworks and toolkits…
Modern industrial automatic machines and robotic cells are equipped with highly complex human-machine interfaces (HMIs) that often prevent human operators from an effective use of the automatic systems. In particular, this applies to…
The technological landscape changes daily, making it nearly impossible for a single person to be aware of all trends or available tools that may or may not be suitable for their software project. This makes tool selection and architectural…
Designing for situational awareness could lead to better solutions for disabled people, likewise, exploring the needs of disabled people could lead to innovations that can address situational impairments. This in turn can create…
As open source software (OSS) becomes increasingly mature and popular, there are significant challenges with properly accounting for usability concerns for the diverse end users. Participatory design, where multiple stakeholders collaborate…
Over the last half century, the main application of Brain Computer Interfaces, BCIs has been controlling wheelchairs and neural prostheses or generating text or commands for people with restricted mobility. There has been very limited…
The term Assistive Technology has evolved over the years and identifies equipment or product systems, whether acquired, modified, or customized, that are used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with…
Artificial intelligence systems are widely used by people with sensory disabilities, like loss of vision or hearing, to help perceive or navigate the world around them. This includes tasks like describing an image or object they cannot…
Hybrid systems are complex dynamical systems that combine discrete and continuous components. Reachability questions, regarding whether a system can run into a certain subset of its state space, stand at the core of verification and…
Introduction: Digital products increasingly reshape industries, influencing human behavior and decision-making. However, the software development teams developing these systems often lack diversity, which may lead to designs that overlook…
We find ourselves on the ever-shifting cusp of an AI revolution -- with potentially metamorphic implications for the future practice of healthcare. For many, such innovations cannot come quickly enough; as healthcare systems worldwide…
This paper investigates the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) as a research tool for studying diversity and inclusion characteristics in the context of human-robot interactions (HRI). Some exclusive advantages of using VR in HRI are…
