by Kai Xu 20 May '25

20 May '25

There are two PhD scholarships sponsored by MHR<https://mhrglobal.com/uk/en>. It is open to both UK and international students. The application must be completed by 7 April. Please forward the information to students who might be interested. They can contact me by email (kai.xu(a)nottingham.ac.uk<mailto:kai.xu@nottingham.ac.uk>) if there is any question. Project 1: Next generation HR: Conversational Interfaces and Large-Language Models for Empathic Human-Robot Interaction The project aims to explore how the use of AI could enhance various interface types beyond the usual web forms to better support staff training, facilitation and arbitration at meetings. This could take the form of an embodied conversational interface, using technology such as Large-Language Models (LLMs), integrated into a physical robot. The research goals are to investigate how LLMs can be adapted in real-time using multi-modal situational awareness, what capabilities an intelligent robot embodiment focussed on HR should have, and to understand how people would interact and behave around it. Project 2: Human-Centred AI for Productivity The project aims to explore the options to use human-centred AI to improve productivity, which is a core concern of many of sponsor’s customers. One possibility is to leverage the new data that is becoming available, such as user interactions with computer systems and those collected through wearables. The data will then be analysed with the latest AI and Machine Learning methods, with the goal to use the insight from the analysis to design the least intrusive intervention needed in a HR software solution setting that can improve productivity effectively and ethically. About MHR MHR (https://mhrglobal.com/uk/en) MHR is a specialist provider of software and outsourcing services for Human Resources (HR), payroll, finance, and business intelligence.

IEEE VR 2025 - Call for Proposals "XR Gallery"
by IEEE VR Publicity 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

CALL FOR PROPOSALS *“XR GALLERY”* *IEEE VR 2025: The 32nd IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces* March 8-12, 2025 | Saint-Malo, France *Edges of Reality: Questioning the Truthfulness of our Digital Realities* art2025(a)ieeevr.org <%20art2025(a)ieeevr.org> IMPORTANT DATES - ALL DEADLINES ARE ANYWHERE ON EARTH (AOE) - *October 31, 2024:*Submission of abstracts. - *November 28, 2024:* Notification of acceptance. - *February 13, 2025:* Camera-ready version. OVERVIEW The desire to replicate reality has been a long-lasting human endeavor. Images of the earliest cave drawings communicated about the important aspects of life at the beginning of human civilization. Paintings and sculptures aspired to capture the natural proportions and beauty of human form as well as spirit, while cinema made the static images move and accompany them with sound. In the late 20th century, the unprecedented speed in digital developments enabled the creation of three-dimensional worlds, which did not only surround the user, but also respond to their actions. Today, we are witnessing a rapid rise of artificial intelligence, conversational agents, and creative machines, the way reality is perceived is going through an unprecedented transformation. While offering immense creative possibilities, those tools also pose significant challenges by blurring the lines between fact and fiction, truth and fabrication. This digital storm is reshaping our relationship to facts and history, confronting our definition of reality, plausibility and realism. TOPICS AND SCOPE As part IEEE VR 2025, we are delighted to invite you to the first edition of the ‘XR Gallery’ fostering bridges between people from the XR and Art communities through this art exhibition, titled "Edges of Reality: Questioning the Truthfulness of our Digital Realities". We aim to provoke creative thought and discussion between artists and researchers around the question of authenticity and truthfulness of digital experiences. By bridging the gap between the XR research community and the art world, we hope to inspire innovative perspectives and foster a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between technology and reality. Some of the potential questions which can be explored in this respect are: - How do scientific and technological advances confront and alter our common senses, changing our own perception of reality and of what is possible to imagine - Does my behavior change in a plausible simulated environment? - Can a software that behaves indistinguishably from a human be considered truly real? - What distinguishes our actual self from a simulated self constructed from our digital traces? - What would be the implication of a faithful simulation of an ancestor based solely on their private diaries or literary correspondence? - ... The exhibition will primarily focus on interactive XR art installations, while also welcoming non-XR art installations, such as performances or any other digital media questioning the nature of reality in our increasingly digital world. Accepted submission will be showcased at the dedicated space for the XR Gallery during the entire duration of the IEEEVR conference, excluding the days of workshops *(March 8-12 2025, Saint-Malo, France)*. Discussions are underway to arrange a public exhibition in the days following the conference.

[CFP] Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems - Special issue of IxD&A
by Chiara Ceccarini 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

Call for Papers – Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems Special issue of Interaction Design & Architecture(s) Journal (IxD&A) https://ixdea.org/digital-wellbeing-for-teens-designing-educational-systems/ ———— Overview Recently, researchers have been exploring the unexpected issues arising from the excessive use of personal devices and social media apps, particularly as companies adopt “attention-capture” tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users’ psychological vulnerabilities to increase advertising revenue, resulting in significant impacts on users’ perceived agency and often leading to a sense of losing control over their technology use. This has led to the emergence of a new focus on “digital wellbeing,” studied in fields such as Human Computer Interaction and psychology. Traditional approaches by practitioners and researchers to tackle these issues involve developing Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), such as mobile apps and browser extensions, that help users track their usage patterns and implement interventions like timers and lock-out mechanisms to regulate device use. However, both researchers and users are beginning to emphasize that achieving digital wellbeing requires more than just self-monitoring strategies; it is a journey of personal growth that necessitates education. Topics of Interest The goal of this special issue is to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education. It aims to foster the development of strategies and interactive tools that mentor users, especially children and teenagers, towards a more meaningful and conscious use of technology. This can be accomplished in various ways, such as by designing new Digital Self-Control Tools with educational components, developing serious games, or creating collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning in schools. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: • participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems; • tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school; • strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing; • novel DSCTs that include educational aspects; • gamification strategies for digital wellbeing; • ethical, social, and political factors. Submission All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted anonymized either in .doc or in .pdf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Prospective participants are invited to submit an 8-20 pages paper (including authors’ information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.). Important dates Deadline: October 15th, 2024 Notification to the authors: January 15th, 2025 Camera ready paper: February 15th, 2025 Publication of the special issue: March 2025 (tentatively) Guest Editors Chiara Ceccarini, University of Bologna (Italy) Catia Prandi, University of Bologna (Italy) Alberto Monge Roffarello, Politecnico di Torino (Italy) Luigi De Russis, Politecnico di Torino (Italy) _________________________________________ Chiara Ceccarini, PhD.
