ReVoicer: Conversational Voice Annotation for Human-Centered, LLM-Assisted Peer Review

We present ReVoicer, a prototype system that supports peer reviewers by letting them converse with a paper as they read it. The reviewer highlights a passage and speaks (or types) a train-of-thought comment. A large language model then cleans the comment using the surrounding prose as context, tags it by comment type, and anchors it to the passage. After the reviewer finishes reading, ReVoicer checks the accumulated notes against a venue-specific rubric and reports coverage gaps to assist with further reflection. Then ReVoicer drafts a review composed from the reviewer's comments, written to a style guide distilled from the reviewer's past reviews. We describe the system's design rationale and implementation, and we outline plans for future evaluations.

Directions for 3D User Interface Research from Consumer VR Games

With the continuing development of affordable immersive virtual reality (VR) systems, there is now a growing market for consumer content. The current form of consumer systems is not dissimilar to the lab-based VR systems of the past 30 years: the primary input mechanism is a head-tracked display and one or two tracked hands with buttons and joysticks on hand-held controllers. Over those 30 years, a very diverse academic literature has emerged that covers design and ergonomics of 3D user interfaces (3DUIs). However, the growing consumer market has engaged a very broad range of creatives that have built a very diverse set of designs. Sometimes these designs adopt findings from the academic literature, but other times they experiment with completely novel or counter-intuitive mechanisms. In this paper and its online adjunct, we report on novel 3DUI design patterns that are interesting from both design and research perspectives: they are highly novel, potentially broadly re-usable and/or suggest interesting avenues for evaluation. The supplemental material, which is a living document, is a crowd-sourced repository of interesting patterns. This paper is a curated snapshot of those patterns that were considered to be the most fruitful for further elaboration.
