AffAdapt: AFFect-driven ADAPTive AI Personas for Seamless Conversations

UIST Adjunct 2026AI-generated personas are being increasingly used for support, training and simulations. While generative AI models possess abilities to generate affect-aware responses, their embodiment into visual personas is an active area of investigation.

DriveSimQuest: A VR Driving Simulator and Research Platform on Meta Quest with Unity

UIST Adjunct 2025Using head-mounted Virtual Reality (VR) displays to simulate driving is critical to study driving behavior and design driver assistance systems. But existing VR driving simulators are often limited to tracking only eye movements.

PaperToPlace - Transforming Instruction Documents into Spatialized and Context-Aware Mixed Reality Experiences

UIST 2023PaperToPlace is a novel workflow comprising an authoring pipeline, which allows the authors to rapidly transform and spatialize existing paper instructions into an MR experience, and a consumption pipeline, which computationally places each instruction step at an optimal location that is easy to read and does not occlude key interaction areas.
