In recent decades, neuroscientific and psychological research has traced direct relationships between taste and auditory perceptions. This article explores multimodal generative models capable of converting taste information into music,…
Recent text-to-image diffusion models are able to learn and synthesize images containing novel, personalized concepts (e.g., their own pets or specific items) with just a few examples for training. This paper tackles two interconnected…
This paper explores the potential of generative AI in creating adaptive educational simulations. By leveraging a system of multiple AI agents, simulations can provide personalized learning experiences, offering students the opportunity to…
This paper introduces a new form of real-time affective interface that engages the user in a process of conceptualisation of their emotional state. Inspired by Barrett's Theory of Constructed Emotion, `Mirror Ritual' aims to expand upon the…
Reduced social connectedness increasingly poses a threat to mental health, life expectancy, and general well-being. Generative AI (GAI) technologies, such as large language models (LLMs) and image generation tools, are increasingly…
This thesis presents a framework that integrates state-of-the-art generative AI models for real-time creation of three-dimensional (3D) objects in augmented reality (AR) environments. The primary goal is to convert diverse inputs, such as…
We present our approach to using AI-generated content (AIGC) and multiple media to develop an immersive, game-based, interactive story experience. The narrative of the story, "Memory Remedy", unfolds through flashbacks, allowing the…
Sensemaking in collaborative work and learning is increasingly supported by GenAI systems, however, emerging evidence suggests that poorly designed GenAI systems tend to provide explicit instruction that groups passively follow, fostering…
Generative AI applications present unique design challenges. As generative AI technologies are increasingly being incorporated into mainstream applications, there is an urgent need for guidance on how to design user experiences that foster…
The growing demand for accessible therapeutic options has led to the exploration of Virtual Reality (VR) as a platform for forest bathing, which aims to reduce stress and improve cognitive functions. This paper brings together findings from…
