At a Glance to Your Fingertips: Enabling Direct Manipulation of Distant Objects Through SightWarp
In 3D user interfaces, reaching out to grab and manipulate something works great until it is out of reach. Indirect techniques like gaze and pinch offer an alternative for distant interaction, but do not provide the same immediacy or proprioceptive feedback as direct gestures. To support direct gestures for faraway objects, we introduce SightWarp, an interaction technique that exploits eye-hand coordination to seamlessly summon object proxies to the user's fingertips. The idea is that after loo…

Hybrid EEG--Driven Brain--Computer Interface: A Large Language Model Framework for Personalized Language Rehabilitation
Conventional augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems and language-learning platforms often fail to adapt in real time to the user's cognitive and linguistic needs, especially in neurological conditions such as post-stroke aphasia or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Recent advances in noninvasive electroencephalography (EEG)--based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and transformer--based large language models (LLMs) offer complementary strengths: BCIs capture users' neural intent w…

Refining Participatory Design for AAC Users
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is a field of research and practice that works with people who have a communication disability. One form AAC can take is a high-tech tool, such as a software-based communication system. Like all user interfaces, these systems must be designed and it is critical to include AAC users in the design process for their systems. A participatory design approach can include AAC users in the design process, but modifications may be necessary to make these …
