This research presents a proof-of-concept prototype of an all-in-one mixed reality application platform, developed to investigate the needs and expectations of users from mixed reality systems. The study involved an extensive user study…

Measure user experience in MR (i.e., AR/VR) user studies is essential. Researchers apply a wide range of measuring methods using objective (e.g., biosignals, time logging), behavioral (e.g., gaze direction, movement amplitude), and…

Expressivity--the use of multiple modalities to convey internal state and intent of a robot--is critical for interaction. Yet, due to cost, safety, and other constraints, many robots lack high degrees of physical expressivity. This paper…

Many people with upper-body motor impairments encounter challenges while performing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), such as toileting, grooming, and managing finances, which have…

This research paper presents a meta-analysis of the multifaceted role of technology in mental health. The pervasive influence of technology on daily lives necessitates a deep understanding of its impact on mental health services. This study…

The advent of technology-enhanced interventions has significantly transformed mental health services, offering new opportunities for delivering psychotherapy, particularly in remote settings. This paper reports on a pilot study exploring…

The growing spread of robots for service and industrial purposes calls for versatile, intuitive and portable interaction approaches. In particular, in industrial environments, operators should be able to interact with robots in a fast,…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an umbrella term for a wide range of developmental disorders. For the past two decades, researchers proposed the use of various technologies in order to tackle specific symptoms of the disorder. Although…

This article focuses on the concept of self-determination and the design and validation of digital tools intended to promote the self-determination of vulnerable people. Self-determination is an essential skill for carrying out daily…

Wearable Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly deployed in on-the-move contexts such as automated driving, cycling, and pedestrian navigation. To date, most systems rely on additive overlays that highlight hazards, intentions, or…

Measuring presence is critical to improving user involvement and performance in Mixed Reality (MR). \emph{Presence}, a crucial aspect of MR, is traditionally gauged using subjective questionnaires, leading to a lack of time-varying…

Group interactions are essential to social functioning, yet effective engagement relies on the ability to recognize and interpret visual cues, making such engagement a significant challenge for blind people. In this paper, we investigate…

Cognitive impairments in older adults represent a significant public health concern, necessitating accurate diagnostic and monitoring strategies. In this study, the principal cognitive and neuropsychological evaluations employed for the…

Healthcare professionals (HCPs) face increasing levels of stress and burnout. Technological wellbeing interventions provide accessible and flexible support for HCPs. While most studies have focused on mobile- and web-based programs,…

As elderly population increases, portion of dementia patients becomes larger. Thus social cost of caring dementia patients has been a major concern to many nations. This article introduces a dementia assistive system operated by various…

The potential of virtual reality (VR) to contribute to drug design and development has been recognised for many years. Hardware and software developments now mean that this potential is beginning to be realised, and VR methods are being…

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are emerging as transformative tools in education, offering new possibilities for engagement and immersion. This paper explores their potential in language learning within public education,…

This study evaluates the usage of virtual reality (VR) technologies as a teaching tool in oral placement therapy, a subset of speech therapy. The researcher distributed instructional videos using traditional lecture and modified…

Robotic-assisted medical systems (RAMS) have gained significant attention for their advantages in alleviating surgeons' fatigue and improving patients' outcomes. These systems comprise a range of human-computer interactions, including…

This paper explores the effectiveness of Multimodal Large Language models (MLLMs) as assistive technologies for visually impaired individuals. We conduct a user survey to identify adoption patterns and key challenges users face with such…
