FleetScape: A Mixed Reality Sandtable for Spatial Supervision and Control of Scalable Drone Fleets

This work presents FleetScape, a Mixed Reality (MR) sandtable system that externalizes layered real-time mission, safety, and environmental data while enabling fluid transitions between manual intervention and autonomous supervision and shows that FleetScape supports situational awareness through layered spatial repres...

Thinking Inside the Box: Considerations for Putting Data Physicalization Workshops in a Box

Visualization researchers utilize workshops both for applied research and to engage different populations with visualization‐based activities. While there are many benefits to running visualization workshops, their utility and impact rely on the presence of a researcher who has deep knowledge about visualization theo...

Ethical Asymmetry in Human-Robot Interaction – An Empirical Test of Sparrow’s Hypothesis

It is found that the MPA significantly influenced the PMPA and perceived virtue scores, and the best-fitting model to describe the relationship between PMPA and PVS was cubic, which is symmetrical in nature.

A Multimodal Dataset of Student Oral Presentations with Sensors and Evaluation Data

The SOPHIAS dataset, a 12-hour multimodal dataset containing recordings of 50 oral presentations delivered by 65 undergraduate and master's students at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, enables the exploration of relationships between multimodal behavioral and physiological signals and presentation performance, and p...

Algorithmic Fairness Perceptions in the Global South: Evidence from Bangladesh on Ride-Sharing, Beauty Filters, and Large Language Models

A bilingual survey of 199 participants in Bangladesh rated fairness across three everyday scenarios -- ride-sharing prices that shift with context, AI beauty filters that reshape appearance, and large language models that handle cultural values differently than a human would.

Between Algorithm (AI) and Intuition (Human): Preserving Designer Agency in AI-Assisted Sensemaking of Qualitative UX Data

It is argued that AI sensemaking tools risk flattening the rich data patterns, amplifying contradictory textures of user feedback into sterile categories thereby transforming design research from an interpretive craft into a mechanical sorting exercise (rigid and formal).

User Preferences for UI Anchoring in MR: Effects of Task Mobility and Interface Properties

The qualitative analysis reveals the factors users consider in their anchoring decision, including interface accessibility, stability during interaction, visual clutter, and individual mental models, which inform the design of adaptive and controllable MR interfaces and highlight the importance of supporting user custo...

Too Much of the Same: From Algorithmic to Human Bias in Learning to Defer

It is demonstrated that standard LtD strategies show class-dependent sampling bias in classification tasks in practice, and thus may disproportionately defer the minority classes when applied to imbalanced datasets, and that such asymmetries in task delegation may trigger human biases, ultimately leading to poorer down...

FocusGen: Expanding Visual Design Exploration with a Simulated Focus Group of Persona Agents

FocusGen is presented, an interactive system that introduces external perspectives into visual design exploration through a "virtual focus group" of simulated persona agents, and is positioned as a divergence scaffold for early-stage ideation rather than a substitute for audience research.

Graphionale: How Graph Visualizations of LLM Rationales Affect Human Decision Making

Graphionale is developed as a testbed for empirically studying argument-map-style rationale visualization, and its findings contribute empirical design knowledge about when and how graphical rationales support human decision making, and inform the next-generation reasoning-aware AI interfaces.

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
