Accessible design for some may still produce barriers for others. This tension, called access friction, creates challenges for both designers and end-users with disabilities. To address this, we present the concept of softerware, a system…
Customized generation has achieved significant progress in image synthesis, yet personalized video generation remains challenging due to temporal inconsistencies and quality degradation. In this paper, we introduce CustomVideoX, an…
The consumption of subtitles via TVs, laptops and smartphones has the potential to marginalize people based on their complex accessibility needs. The current one-size-fits-all approach to this accessibility aid is no longer fit for purpose…
Introduction: Virtual audiovisual technology and its methodology has yet to be established for psychoacoustic research. This study examined the effects of different audiovisual conditions on preference when listening to multi-talker…
Recent years have seen a significant increase in video content creation and consumption. Crafting engaging content requires the careful curation of both visual and audio elements. While visual cue curation, through techniques like optimal…
Video identity customization seeks to synthesize realistic, temporally coherent videos of a specific subject, given a single reference image and a text prompt. This task presents two core challenges: (1) maintaining identity consistency…
Developmental Delays and Disabilities (DDDs) refer to conditions where children are slower or unable to reach developmental milestones compared to typically developing children. This can cause significant stress for parents, leading to…
Interactive information dashboards can help both specialists and the general public understand complex datasets; but interacting with these dashboards often presents users with challenges such as understanding and verifying the presented…
This demo introduces Focus360, a system designed to enhance user engagement in 360{\deg} VR videos by guiding attention to key elements within the scene. Using natural language descriptions, the system identifies important elements and…
Adaptive learning systems optimize content delivery based on performance metrics but ignore the dynamic attention fluctuations that characterize neurodivergent learners. We present AttentionGuard, a framework that detects…
Text-to-video generation has made remarkable advancements through diffusion models. However, Multi-Concept Video Customization (MCVC) remains a significant challenge. We identify two key challenges for this task: 1) the identity decoupling…
Audio Description (AD) provides essential access to visual media for blind and low vision (BLV) audiences. Yet current AD production tools remain largely inaccessible to BLV video creators, who possess valuable expertise but face barriers…
Augmented video presentation tools provide a natural way for presenters to interact with their content, resulting in engaging experiences for remote audiences, such as when a presenter uses hand gestures to manipulate and direct attention…
This paper reports results from a high-fidelity driving simulator study (N=215) about a head-up display (HUD) that conveys a conditional automated vehicle's dynamic "uncertainty" about the current situation while fallback drivers watch…
The optimization of information visualizations is time consuming and expensive. To reduce this we propose an improvement of existing optimization approaches based on user-centered design, focusing on readability, comprehensibility, and user…
Instructors often rely on visual actions such as pointing, marking, and sketching to convey information in educational presentation videos. These subtle visual cues often lack verbal descriptions, forcing low-vision (LV) learners to search…
In recent years, social media users have spent significant amounts of time on short-form video platforms. As a result, established platforms in other domains, such as e-commerce, have begun introducing short-form video content to engage…
With the development of media and networking technologies, multimedia applications ranging from feature presentation in a cinema setting to video on demand to interactive video conferencing are in great demand. Good synchronization between…
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is a time-consuming and complex process, requiring precise, long-horizon user interactions with intricate 3D interfaces. While recent advances in AI-driven user interface (UI) agents show promise, most existing…
In remote video meetings, visual non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions or head movements, are seen continuously but often only partially. This increases ambiguity compared to in-person settings and can cause misinterpretation or…
