The Universal Viewer: radically inclusive software development for digital cultural heritage
Sustaining open source software can be challenging. We discuss collaboration on the Universal Viewer (UV), software designed to display cultural heritage collections. We highlight methods including innovative, inclusive and multi-institution sprints. We showcase UV’s evolution, including accessibility and user experience enhancements, future plans and ways for others to contribute. A short paper for the Digital Humanities 2025 conference, Lisbon, on 17 July 2025

The Digital Landscape of God: Narrative, Visuals and Viewer Engagement of Religious Videos on YouTube
The digital transformation of religious practice has reshaped how billions of people engage with spiritual content, with video-sharing platforms becoming central to contemporary religious communication. Yet HCI research lacks systematic understanding of how narrative and visual elements create meaningful spiritual experiences and foster viewer engagement. We present a mixed-methods study of religious videos on YouTube across major religions, developing taxonomies of narrative frameworks, visual…

Not such long walks today as it was raining. But the rain made some beautiful mood and we enjoyed some coffee and cake afterwards.

The image depicts a scene in a cozy indoor setting, featuring a table adorned with a plate and a glass of coffee. Various objects are also present in the image, such as a chair, a beverage, tableware, kitchen utensils, and a dining table. The setting suggests a moment of relaxation or enjoyment, perhaps in a coffee shop or restaurant. The image evokes a sense of comfort and familiarity, inviting the viewer to imagine themselves in a similar setting, savoring a delicious beverage.

CoSight: Exploring Viewer Contributions to Online Video Accessibility Through Descriptive Commenting
The rapid growth of online video content has outpaced efforts to make visual information accessible to blind and low vision (BLV) audiences. While professional Audio Description (AD) remains the gold standard, it is costly and difficult to scale across the vast volume of online media. In this work, we explore a complementary approach to broaden participation in video accessibility: engaging everyday video viewers at their watching and commenting time.

Fine-grained Video Dubbing Duration Alignment with Segment Supervised Preference Optimization
Video dubbing aims to translate original speech in visual media programs from the source language to the target language, relying on neural machine translation and text-to-speech technologies. Due to varying information densities across languages, target speech often mismatches the source speech duration, causing audio-video synchronization issues that significantly impact viewer experience. In this study, we approach duration alignment in LLM-based video dubbing machine translation as a prefer…
