Creating haptic experiences from real-world environments remains difficult: visual scans capture appearance but not material feel, while manual haptic authoring requires specialized expertise. We present TouchTwin, a human-AI approach that turns phone scans of tabletop scenes into editable haptic scenes. TouchTwin uses...
Point-cloud representations of 3D data are used in many fields, from astronomical surveys of galaxies to medical imaging and laser scans of buildings. A task common to all of these is interactive selection: picking out a meaningful subset of points for closer analysis. The data is inherently 3D, yet the traditional wor...

Procedural guidance can show users how to act without explaining what an action enables later. We present Foresee, an interface combining next-step guidance with consequence previews, method comparisons, and cross-step access. A hybrid pipeline combines structured rendering, image editing, and video generation. A liter...

With AI automating consequential tasks, human oversight is required for ethical, legal, and practical reasons. Yet these oversight tasks can be demanding and often make for poor work. Empirical evidence on overseers'lived work experiences remains underexplored, yet critical for designing ``good''oversight. We provide l...

Problem-solving is central to mathematics education. However, diagnosing where students'reasoning breaks down requires individualized probing and consistent criteria that teachers cannot sustain at classroom scale. We introduce STEP (STage-based Evaluation of Problem-solving skills), co-designed with six mathematics ed...

Language plays a crucial role in research and technology design, throughout problem formulation, method descriptions, analysis of findings, and interpretation. In this paper, we focus on a particular, trending linguistic pattern in the Human-Computer Interaction literature, which we call -abilities. Examples include us...
This paper presents a Mixed Reality (MR) robotics experience that provides an accessible introduction to interacting with a physical robot. The application combines a TurtleBot with a virtual animal-tending activity and three control methods: Joystick, Waypoint, and Path-Drawing. A mixed-methods user study with 10 part...

Oral health is vital for overall well-being, yet many users brush different tooth surfaces for insufficient or excessive durations. Toothbrushing monitoring systems can help improve brushing habits by reminding users of under-brushed and over-brushed surfaces, but existing approaches often rely on external sensors, inc...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) assists movement, but fixed schedules cannot track how a repeatedly activated muscle changes, and surface electromyography (EMG) near the stimulation electrodes is often obscured by artifacts. Prior work recorded mechanomyography (MMG) passively during closed-loop FES cycling and...
Wearable muscle sensing for rehabilitation, assistive robotics, and electrical-stimulation feedback needs mechanomyography sensors less sensitive to fit changes during wear. In microphone-based mechanomyography, cavity pressure depends on rim contact, a dependence housing design has rarely targeted. This study evaluate...
Large language models are increasingly used in reflective journaling, where articulating an experience is part of interpreting it. This raises questions about how writers retain authorship, exercise agency, and assess personalized assistance. We present AuthScribe, an LLM-assisted reflective journaling system that comb...

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…
Professor Paris Smaragdis develops computers with superhuman hearing for applications like speech recognition, music understanding, and environmental monitoring.
