Conceptualising an Initial Design Space for Guidance in Digital Physical Activity Support

Providing guidance is frequently referenced as a key capability of digital health interventions targeting physical activity, yet the term remains poorly defined and inconsistently applied. Existing work often conflates guidance with related constructs such as personalisation, feedback, or persuasion, limiting both theo...

How AI Coders Discuss, Disagree, and Reach Consensus: Challenges and Opportunities for LLM-Based Qualitative Coding

The utility of AI in multi-coder qualitative coding has been widely discussed, yet little empirical evidence exists to delineate the contexts in which it performs reliably. We address this gap by quantifying the effectiveness of multi-agent LLM coding across varied qualitative datasets, revealing key contextual and str...

Visual-Motion-Induced Modulation of Pedestrian Trajectories Using Spatially Distributed Multi-Display Signage in Public Spaces

Multi-display signage (MDS), now ubiquitous in urban environments, has the potential to influence human behavior and experience in public spaces. However, despite its unique capability to present spatially distributed dynamic visual stimuli, its current use is mainly limited to advertising. In this study, we propose a...

X-Hinges: 3D Printing Self-Sensing Compliant Mechanisms for Continuous and Multi-DOF Motion Sensing

We present X-Hinges, a design and fabrication method for self-sensing compliant mechanisms based on multi-material FDM 3D printing. By co-printing two conductive filaments of different conductivities within a compliant body, we embed resistive sensing elements directly during fabrication without post-assembly, enabling...

ShellVis: Sandboxed Live Programming for Shell Scripts

Live programming provides visibility to programmers by running and tracing programs as they are edited. However, for programs with potentially harmful side effects, liveness can turn mistakes into disasters. We propose enabling live programming in environments with side effects via sandboxing: confining effects to a si...

"Coder first, advocate second, college student third": The Liminality of Going to College as a Blind Computing Student

It is argued that the college transition is a critical point for analysis and technological intervention, and further, that Intersecting Liminality provides a useful lens for HCI scholars to unpack the compounding challenges that prevent some BLV students from completing computing degrees.

What Makes Creation Human? Authorship, Reasons, and Meaningful Human Control in Generative AI

The paper proposes dynamic-reflexive tracking (DRT), which requires that a creator's evolving reasons undergo reflective uptake, exert genuine influence on the subsequent trajectory of creation, and remain capable of rejecting and redirecting the system's default direction.

A Voice-Interactive Multi-Agent System for Smart Operating Rooms: Architecture Design and Key Technologies

This paper presents SurgicalRoomAgent, a voice-interactive multi-agent system for smart operating rooms based on large language models (LLMs). The system achieves natural language understanding, device control, intraoperative recording, and surgical report generation through a layered architecture comprising a voice in...

(Whose defaults?) Is artificial intelligence reorienting archaeological methods?

Generative AI and the practice of"vibe coding"are changing how archaeologists carry out computational research, but their effects on the discipline's range of methods is still understudied. In this paper, we evaluate whether large language models (LLMs) are narrowing the variety of methods archaeologists use. We first...

Active noise cancellation on open-ear smart glasses

An ANC system for open-ear wearables that suppresses environmental noise using only microphones and miniaturized open-ear speakers embedded within the frame of the wearables, removing the need for an in-ear error microphone is presented.

Transfer Learning of Keystroke Dynamics for Cross-Device User Authentication

This work proposes a cross-device user authentication system based on inductive transfer learning, where keystroke dynamics learned on one device are adapted to a secondary device, which is used to robustly train a binary classifier.

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
