Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) frame opportunities and challenges for user interface design. Principles human-AI interaction have been discussed the human-computer community over two decades, but more study innovation are needed light of advances AI growing uses technologies human-facing applications. We propose 18 generally applicable design guidelines interaction. These validated through multiple rounds evaluation including a with 49 practitioners who tested against 20 popular...
Researchers seeking alternatives to traditional desktop computers have begun exploring the potential collaborative benefits of digital tabletop displays. However, there are still many open issues related design interfaces, such as whether these systems should automatically orient workspace items or enforce ownership content. Understanding natural interaction practices that people use during collaboration with media (e.g., pen and paper) can help address issues. Interfaces modeled on will...
Emerging technologies offer exciting new ways of using entertainment technology to create fantastic play experiences and foster interactions between players. Evaluating is challenging because success isn't defined in terms productivity performance, but enjoyment interaction. Current subjective methods evaluating aren't sufficiently robust. This paper describes two experiments designed test the efficacy physiological measures as evaluators user experience with technologies. We found evidence...

Human-AI collaboration for decision-making strives to achieve team performance that exceeds the of humans or AI alone. However, many factors can impact success teams, including a user’s domain expertise, mental models an system, trust in recommendations, and more. This article reports on study examines users’ interactions with three simulated algorithmic models, all equivalent accuracy rates but each tuned differently terms true positive negative rates. Our examined user non-trivial blood...
Researchers are using emerging technologies to develop novel play environments, while established computer and console game markets continue grow rapidly. Even so, evaluating the success of interactive environments is still an open research challenge. Both subjective objective techniques fall short due limited evaluative bandwidth; there remains no corollary in task performance with productivity systems. This paper presents a method modeling user emotional state, based on user's physiology,...
Emerging technologies offer new ways of using entertainment technology to foster interactions between players and connect people. Evaluating collaborative is challenging because success not defined in terms productivity performance, but enjoyment interaction. Current subjective methods are sufficiently robust this context. This paper describes an experiment designed test the efficacy physiological measures as evaluators technologies. We found evidence that there a different response body...
Co-located collaboration can be extremely valuable during complex visual analytics tasks. We present an exploratory study of a system designed to support collaborative analysis tasks on digital tabletop display. Fifteen participant pairs employed Cambiera, system, solve problem involving 240 documents. Our analysis, supported by observations, logs, questionnaires, and interview data, explores how approached the around table. contribute unique, rich understanding users worked together table...
Studies have shown positive impact of video blogs (vlogs) on patient education. However, we know little how patient-initiated vlogs shape the relationships among vloggers and viewers. We qualitatively analyzed 72 YouTube by users diagnosed with HIV, diabetes, or cancer 1,274 comments posted to understand viewers' perspectives vlogs. found that unique medium allowed intense enriched personal contextual disclosure viewers, leading strong community-building activities social support commenters,...
Details of the designs and mechanisms in support human-AI collaboration must be considered real-world fielding AI technologies. A critical aspect interaction design for AI-assisted human decision making are policies about display sequencing inferences within larger decision-making workflows. We have a poor understanding influences available before versus after review diagnostic task at hand. explore effects providing assistance start session radiology radiologist has made provisional...

Traditional computer technology offers limited support for face‐to‐face, synchronous collaboration. Consequently, children who wish to collaborate while using computers must adapt their interactions the single‐user paradigm of most personal computers. Recent technological advances have enabled development co‐located groupware systems offering concurrent, multi–user around a shared display. These provide unique collaboration environment in which users share both physical and virtual...
Current business conditions have given rise to distributed teams that are mostly collocated except for one remote member. These "hub-and-satellite" face the challenge of satellite colleague being out-of-sight and out-of-mind. We developed a telepresence device, called an Embodied Social Proxy (ESP), which represents coworker 24x7. Beyond using ESPs in our own group, we deployed ESP four product within company six weeks. studied how was used through ethnographic observations, surveys, usage...

Health video blogs (vlogs) allow individuals with chronic illnesses to share their stories, experiences, and knowledge the general public. Furthermore, health vlogs help in creating a connection between vlogger viewers. In this work, we present qualitative study examining various methods that vloggers use establish We found used genres express specific messages viewers while using uniqueness of deeper also explicitly sought interaction Based on these results, design implications facilitate...
