Improving Inclusivity for Emotion Recognition Based on Face Tracking

The limited expressiveness of virtual user representations in Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality can inhibit an integral part of communication: emotional expression. Emotion recognition based on face tracking is often used to compensate for this. However, emotional facial expressions are highly individual, which is why many approaches have difficulties recognizing unique variations of emotional expressions. We propose several strategies to improve face tracking systems for emotion recognition with and without user intervention for the Affective Interaction Workshop at CHI '25.

Managing Information Overload in Large-Scale Distributed Mixed-Reality Meetings

Large-scale distributed mixed-reality meetings involve many people and their audiovisual representations. These collaborative environments can introduce challenges such as sensory overload, cognitive strain, and social fatigue. In this paper, we discuss how the unique adaptability of Mixed Reality can be leveraged to weaken these stressors by managing information overload.

Don't Leave Me Out: Designing for Device Inclusivity in Mixed Reality Collaboration

Modern collaborative Mixed Reality (MR) systems continue to break the boundaries of conventional co-located and remote collaboration and communication. They merge physical and virtual worlds and enable natural interaction, opening up a spectrum of novel opportunities for interpersonal connection. For these connections to be perceived as engaging and positive, collaborators should feel comfortable and experience a sense of belonging. Not having the dedicated devices to smoothly participate in these spaces can hinder this and give users the impression of being left out. To counteract this, we propose to prioritize designing for device inclusivity in MR collaboration, focusing on compensating disadvantages of common non-immersive device classes in cross-device systems.
