This project aims to enhance the perceived sociability, perceived safety, and user experience of autonomous vehicles in their interactions with pedestrians through affective communication.
The Citizen Voices in Cities (CiViC) dashboard uses big data mining algorithms to help local government authorities understand current trending issues in their local communities and to assess the long-term impact of urban projects.
We developed a tangible multi-display toolkit to support collaborative design explorations of AV-pedestrian interfaces.
An in-depth account of an autoethnography of compassion cultivation to offer a framework for training self-observation in HCI
We simulated a wearable AR pedestrian navigation application in virtual reality and explored the impact of different exocentric map displays on navigation performance and user experience.
Developing an evidence-based toolkit to integrate wellbeing psychology into design
We developed the “Light Shifting Display” – a novel type of low-resolution lighting display that presents real-time ambient information.
Exploring interactive soundscapes to guide and support mindfulness practice for novice practitioners.
Spatial navigation memory assessment in VR-CogAssess to detect pre-dementia
