Paper accepted for ISMAR 2024: The Art of Timing in AR Guidance

We are excited to announce that our paper titled “The Art of Timing: Effects of AR Guidance Timing on Speed Control” (with Jeroen Ceyssens, Bram van Deurzen, Gustavo Rovelo Ruiz and Fabian Di Fiore) has been accepted for presentation at the 2024 IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR).

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) holds significant potential to facilitate users in executing manual tasks. For effective support, however, we need to understand how showing movement instructions in AR affects how well people can follow those movements in real life. In this paper, we examine the degree to which users can synchronize the speed of their movements with speed cues presented through an AR environment. Specifically, we investigate the effects of timing in AR visual guidance. We assess performance using a highly realistic Mixed Reality (MR) welding simulation. Welding is a task that requires very precise timing and control over hand and arm motion. Our results show that upfront visual guidance (before manual task execution) alone often fails to transfer the knowledge of intended speeds, especially at higher target speeds. Live guidance during manual task execution provides more accurate speed results but typically requires a higher overshoot at the start. Optimal outcomes occur when visual guidance appears upfront and continues during the activity for users to follow through.

I’m excited to announce the publication of a special issue I co-edited titled “Human-Centered Approaches to Worker Well-being in the Age of Industry 5.0” in Frontiers. This collection of papers explores diverse aspects of worker well-being within the Industry 5.0 framework, focusing on both physical and cognitive well-being while respecting workers’ privacy.

Key Highlights:

  1. Industry 5.0 and Worker Well-being: The special issue examines how the Industry 5.0 paradigm complements technological advancements with an enhanced focus on human workers, addressing challenges in creating sustainable and healthy work environments.

Papers accepted on Anthropomorphic UIs and Model Multiplicity

Model Multiplicity in Interactive Software Systems

We got a workshop paper accepted, presenting the initial work of Gilles Eerlings et al. We explore how model multiplicity can be a potential answer to reduce overtrust in AI, as well as avoid undertrust. Still a lot of work that lies ahead, but this seems like a promising direction.

Abstract

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) in interactive systems has led to significant challenges in model integration, but also end-user-related aspects such as over- and undertrust. This paper explores how multiple AI models with the same performance and behavior but different internal workings—a phenomenon called model multiplicity—affect system integration and user interaction. We discuss the implications of model multiplicity for transparency, trust, and operational effectiveness in interactive software systems.
