reVISit-XR: Bringing Extended Reality into Embeddable, Trackable, and Replayable Visualization Studies

Abstract

Extended reality (XR) is increasingly a setting for empirical visualization research, where study-relevant state is distributed across headset and controller pose, scene configuration, selections, spatial layouts, and AR anchors. Existing XR tools support parts of the workflow, such as scene authoring, interaction, or session analysis, yet seldom treat an XR stimulus as a reusable component of a complete study lifecycle. We present reVISit-XR, an extension of reVISit that makes customizable WebXR stimuli embeddable, trackable, and replayable within empirical visualization studies. reVISit-XR sequences XR scenes alongside standard study components, collects reactive task responses, captures scene-authored semantic state together with generic XR traces, and rehydrates participant sessions for later desktop and headset analysis. Organized as a reusable stimulus build package and a study integration package, it lets XR stimuli act as first-class study components. We demonstrate its scope and feasibility through seven integrated, reusable examples and a deployed study, and discuss its current capabilities and future extensions.

CHOMP: Multimodal Chewing Side Detection with Earphones

Chewing-side preference (CSP) is a risk factor for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and a behavioral manifestation. Although TMDs affect roughly one-third of the global population, assessment relies on clinical examinations and self-reports, providing limited insight into everyday jaw function. We present CHOMP, the first earphone-based chewing-side detection system for continuous CSP monitoring. Using OpenEarable 2.0, we collected multimodal data from 20 participants with microphones, a bone-conduction microphone, IMU, PPG, and a pressure sensor across diverse foods, activities, and acoustic-interference conditions. CHOMP models paired-ear temporal feature sequences using modality-specific bidirectional GRUs, multimodal fusion, and prototype-based classification with an optional short user adaptation. Microphones achieve the strongest single-sensor performance, with median macro F1 scores of 97.2% under leave-one-food-out (LOFO) and 95.7% under leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) evaluation after user adaptation. Multimodal fusion reaches 98.0% under LOFO and 97.3% under adapted LOSO. We demonstrate CHOMP's performance under three acoustic-interference conditions and within a cafeteria setting. Our results establish earphones as a practical platform for everyday CSP monitoring and jaw-function assessment.

How Children Design and Reason about Trustworthy AI Chatbots

Children increasingly interact with AI chatbots, making trust calibration essential to AI literacy. Prior research has examined children's trust in AI mainly as users evaluating systems built by others, rather than as designers of their own chatbots. We developed a chatbot-building environment with adjustable trust-relevant traits (e.g., confidence, transparency, formality, assertiveness), rules, and persona. We conducted mixed-methods study with 115 learners (ages 8-18) who made 119 chatbots. We examined how children configured their chatbots, reasoned about trustworthiness, and how closely chatbot behavior aligned with their designs. Younger students (age 10-13) set significantly higher confidence than older students (age 14-18), and some deliberately built chatbots that gave wrong answers on purpose, yet still called them trustworthy, arguing that a chatbot does what it was built to do. Younger students equated trust with purpose-fulfillment, while older students linked it to transparent, calibrated design. Students also calibrated academic chatbots to be more transparent and formal than hobby chatbots. We identify seven design dimensions describing what children believe makes a chatbot trustworthy, and discuss implications for AI literacy tools.

LeanSide: A Formally Verified Co-Reasoning System for Natural-language Proofs

Large language models are increasingly used as collaborators on deductive-reasoning tasks, but their outputs can hallucinate or pull users away from intended reasoning. Formal proof assistants provide machine-checked verification, but have a steep learning curve and require more granular reasoning than human written proofs. We explore an interface that combines these strengths, allowing users to write and revise free-form natural-language proofs while a verified backend checks their reasoning and returns feedback at the user's granularity. We study this interface in the context of undergraduate mathematics education by developing LeanSide, a formally verified co-reasoning system, which auto-formalizes student reasoning into Lean and informalizes verifier output into understandable feedback. We conducted user studies through classroom deployment and analyzed which system properties helped students make progress and which caused them to get stuck. We use these findings to derive design implications for using a formally verified backend in human-AI co-reasoning systems.
