This article examines household plastic recycling in Finland through two qualitative studies and four design concepts. Study 1 reports short interviews with residents about how they store, sort, and dispose of plastic packaging in their homes. The findings highlight recurring frictions: limited space, improvised storag...
Plastics recycling depends on everyday sorting practices and on how recycling services are communicated and experienced. Virtual reality (VR) can present these practices and services in situated, interactive form, yet its role in service design for plastics recycling is still emerging. This paper examines how VR tools...
It is concluded that an implicit BCI provides resilience by learning to bypass a compromised executive networks and access the preserved sensory representation of ground truth, defending against AI-induced error in high-stakes environments.
Natural and idiomatic expressions are essential for fluent, everyday communication, yet many second-language learners struggle to acquire and spontaneously use casual slang despite strong formal proficiency. To address this gap, we designed and evaluated an LLM-powered, task-based role-playing game in which a GPT-4o-ba...

A dual-assessment framework is introduced that scores any real-time gaze transformation on two axes at once: interaction utility, measured through an offline gaze-interaction simulation and an operational spatial-accuracy metric, and privacy preservation, measured through the Rank-1 Identification Rate of a state-of-th...
The results show that patients may struggle to identify errors because they lack professional medical knowledge, even when GPT-4 provides advice that a doctor can recognize as false.
The design, implementation, and evaluation of RFDrone are presented, a system that can enable the relative positioning for the nanodrone swarm using the commodity passive RFID tags attached to each nanodrone for safe and accurate platooning.
Arm pose estimation enables applications in fitness, extended reality input, rehabilitation, and life logging. Prior smartwatch-based approaches rely on calibration poses and preprocessing pipelines that transform raw IMU measurements into standardized training formats. These steps hinder deployment in everyday setting...
Input devices for robotic microsurgery are frequently described as preserving the surgeon's trained technique, but the claim is rarely measured. We compared manual and teleoperated intraocular instrument motion with the trocar constraint, the instrument, the eye model and the tracking source common to both conditions,...
Among various cultural interventions, theatre offers a powerful medium for emotional expression, reflection, and social connection. Live performances can positively influence mental well-being. Therefore, studying audience responses during theatrical performances can provide valuable insights into the relationship betw...
DriveMotion is introduced, a multi-source benchmark for continuous driver motion forecasting, integrating naturalistic driving data, curated public in-cabin videos, and the AIDE dataset into a unified representation with per-joint validity masks and synchronized driving context.
How robot body configuration shapes human intervention during approach remains underexplored. We conducted a within-participants study with 41 participants, measuring final stopping distance, subjective comfort, and exploratory eye-tracking responses across four humanoid arm configurations and two spatial scales. Full...
Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
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.
Able to defeat top-ranked human players and more efficient than other models, the new system could help decision-makers in military maneuvers or business negotiations.
