Emotional empathy, the ability to understand and respond to others' emotions, is essential for effective communication. We propose Empathy-GPT, featuring embodied conversational agents with empathic capacity. To address the limitations of rule-based conversational agents, we leverage contextual understanding and adaptation capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to coordinate multiple modalities (e.g., agent's tone, body movements, and facial expressions). To enhance user engagement in human-agent communication, agents dynamically respond to users' voices and facial expressions, providing contextually empathic responses.

Studies of search habits reveal that people engage in many search tasks involving collaboration with others, such as travel planning, organizing social events, or working on a homework assignment. However, current Web search tools are designed for a single user, working alone. We introduce SearchTogether, a prototype that enables groups of remote users to synchronously or asynchronously collaborate when searching the Web. We describe an example usage scenario, and discuss the ways SearchTogether facilitates collaboration by supporting awareness, division of labor, and persistence. We then discuss the findings of our evaluation of SearchTogether, analyzing which aspects of its design enabled successful collaboration among study participants.

Members of geographically distributed work groups often complain of a feeling of isolation and of not knowing 'who is around'. Argohalls attempt to solve this problem by integrating video icons, clustered into groups representing physical hallways, into the Argo telecollaboration system. Argo users can 'hang out' in hallways in order to keep track of the co-workers on their projects, and they can roam other hallways to 'run into' whoever happens to be there.

As diverse computing devices, including wearable and embedded systems, become ubiquitous in our living spaces, sharing and transferring data between these computers has become a usual operation. This paper introduces DataPipettor, an information transfer interface that enables intuitive data movement based on touch interactions. DataPipettor utilizes proximity wireless communication (PWC), allowing high-speed real-time communication between proximate channels while simultaneously achieving touch sensing and data transmission/reception. The interface can be miniaturized due to the characteristics of PWC, making it suitable for use in wearable devices and small equipment interfaces. users wearing the interface can intuitively transfer data through touch interactions as if physically passing objects. This paper conducted the development and evaluation of the interface, a conceptual demonstration, and discuss future prospects.

Swarm userinterfaces (Swarm UIs) enable manipulation of user environment through the dynamic arrangement of small robots. However, the operation range of Swarm UIs are limited to a single plane due to their locomotion constraints, which are typically two-wheel-propelled. Here, We present a proof-of-concept design for swarm robots, which enables them to cooperatively transition between horizontal and vertical surfaces. Notably, this design requires only passive mechanical structure and does not rely on any powered electrical components. We demonstrate several application examples to showcase the feasibility of the robots.

This paper describes some design refinements on marking menus and shows how these refinements embody interesting and relevant design principles for HCI. These refinements are based on the design principles of: (1) maintaining visual context, (2) hiding unnecessary information, and (3) supporting skill development by graphical feedback. The result is a new graphical representation and a more effective form of visual feedback and behavior for marking menus.

Autonomous robots and vehicles can perform tasks that are unsafe or undesirable for humans to do themselves, such as investigate safety in nuclear reactors or assess structural damage to a building or bridge after an earthquake. In addition, improvements in autonomous modes of such vehicles are making it easier for minimally-trained individuals to operate the vehicles. As the autonomous capabilities advance, the user's role shifts from a direct teleoperator to a supervisory control role. Since the human operator is often better suited to make decisions in uncertain situations, it is important for the human operator to have awareness of the environment in which the vehicle is operating in order to prevent collisions and damage to the vehicle as well as the structures and people in the vicinity. In this paper, we present the Collision and Obstacle Detection and Alerting (CODA) display, a novel interface to enable safe piloting of a Micro

Spatial layout is frequently used for managing loosely organized information, such as desktop icons and digital ink. To help users organize this type of information efficiently, we propose ail interface for manipulating spatial aggregations of objects. The aggregated objects are automatically recognized as a group, and the group structure is visualized as a two-dimensional bubble surface that surrounds the objects. users call drag, copy, or delete a group by operating on the bubble. Furthermore, to help pick out individual objects in a dense aggregation, the system spreads the objects to avoid overlapping when requested. This paper describes the design of this interface and its implementation. We tested our technique in icon grouping and ink relocation tasks and observed improvements in user performance.

The Biofibers Spinning Machine produces bio-based fibers (biofibers) that are dissolvable and biodegradable. These fibers enable recycling of smart textiles by making it easy to separate electronics from textiles. Currently, prototyping with the machine requires the use of low-level commands, i.e. G-code. To enable more people to participate in the sustainable smart textiles design space and develop new biofiber materials, we need to provide accessible tools and workflows. This work explores a software tool that facilitates material exploration with machine parameters. We describe the interface design and demonstrate using the tool to quantify the relationship between machine parameters and spun gelatin biofibers.
