International Workshop on Human-Engaged Computing (IWHEC)
- Past IWHEC IWHEC 2020 IWHEC 2019 IWHEC 2017
The international workshop on Human-Engaged Computing (IWHEC 2021) focuses on rethinking the relationship between humans and computers. The workshop will be convened online via ZOOM and it will be open to all audiences around the world through webcasts and/or live-streaming platforms.
The aim of this workshop is to rethink the relationship between humans and computers. The workshop will strive to achieve a common platform to advance various idea exchanges around the world, resulting in the evolution of a stronger workforce in order to create a better world to live in. We are inviting distinguished speakers from around the world and from several domains such as human-computer interaction, brain science, computer science, AI, engaged human, engaging technology, design so on.
Covid-19 has significantly impacted the lives of every person on the planet. Much of the world that was familiar to most people is in pause mode. People are ordered to stay at home in order to save lives by slowing the spread of the deadly virus. Fortunately, with the fast development of computing technologies and digital services, along with the rapid construction of information infrastructures, people are able to source information from television media, radio broadcasts, social media, and various Internet avenues. Technologies are playing a central, critical, and arguably indispensable role in our daily lives during the pandemic. But the new efficiencies afforded by new technologies is a two-edged sword, and it is capable of healing or harming human relationships, human integrity and human enterprises. For example, efficient private and personal access to information, accessible publishing, and new modes of social interaction open the door to the dissemination of fake news, to trolling, to prejudiced opinions and to undue influence that overwhelms and confuses people more efficiently than ever before. On the other hand, responses to such threats seem to invite despotic intrusions into privacy and the potential diminishment of the right to personal opinions and personal expression. Thus, besides dealing with the relationship between humans and computers under consideration of the human future in general, the workshop also seeks to suggest how researchers who work on the relationship between humans and computers can help develop and enhance the user’s ability to distinguish between inauthentic and authentic information during and after the current crisis.

Engaging with a Virtual Companion
The original goal of Artificial Intelligence was to create software that could engage with people conversationally. This has proven to be exceptionally challenging in many respects. It is an effort to understand humans deeply enough to create a simulated human that will engage convincingly with real humans on real topics, under time pressure. The system must not only recognize but also produce individual and collective human capacities. Some chatbots also encounter trolls or others who attempt to lure it to engage in socially undesirable ways. I will describe a study that identifies different patterns in the way thousands of people engaged with one conversational agent over a few years. Read more Read less
Engaging Humanities with Worthwhile Computing
We have considered people in design for decades, but only in part.
Ergonomics and early HCI focused on physical human factors such as input devices and
perception for computer displays.
Over the decades HCI’s scope extended to consider interaction, conceptual models, and
experience. However, this remained largely centred on the computer, for example
considering how well a conceptual model could be understood or how an interaction
would be experienced. A more balanced approach would simultaneously consider design
concepts alongside what people may find worthwhile. We need to engage people in their
specific slices of life (‘humanities’) with interactions that are designed to be
worthwhile.
In this presentation I will argue for the need to simultaneously consider designs,
their evaluations, their purpose, and who will benefit and when and how (and who will
not). Rather than iterate through fixed stages in sequence, we need to progress and
connect design arenas in parallel. We need to extend our repertoire of connections in
HCI. I will present examples of novel approaches that support simultaneous progression
and connection of design arenas: Worth Sketches and Maps, and Use Experience Cases. I
will also briefly outline other forms of connection for Interaction Design.

The Science and Art of Conveying Information through Touch for Human-Engaged Computing
As we rethink the relationship between humans and computers for the future of HCI, we also need to re-examine how the sense of touch contributes to human-engaged computing. Haptic interfaces can convey information, affect, or both. In the first part of this talk, I will describe project TAPS as an example of the science of conveying speech information through touch. We have long known that speech communication through the skin is possible through research on natural methods of tactual speech communication used by individuals with severe hearing and/or visual impairments. Despite a long history of research, however, the development of sensory-substitution devices to support the communication of speech has proven to be a difficult task. We have now demonstrated that up to 500 English words can be learned at a rate of 1 word per minute on a TActile Phonemic Sleeve (TAPS) worn on the forearm. Key insights in designing distinctive haptic symbols, mapping all 39 English phonemes to the symbols, and training learners to recognize phonemes and words will be described. In the second part of this talk, I will present project palmScape as an example of the art of conveying emotion through touch. The palmScape is a tactile display for the palm that delivers calm and pleasant vibrotactile patterns evocative of familiar natural phenomena. I will describe the display itself and the signal design journey. The results from an affective rating study confirm that the sensations evoked by palmScape are visceral and delightful. I will wrap up the talk by speculating ways that haptic interfaces can contribute to human-engaged computing by conveying information in a calm and delightful manner. Imagine a world where touch serves as an additional or alternative channel of communication for people with all levels of sensory capabilities, and tactile emojis bring smiles to everyone’s face!

47 Seconds of Focus: Distractions, Stress and Productivity in our Digital Experience
Most of us spend our days among two different environments: an offline physical world but also an online digital world. In this talk I will discuss over a decade of empirical research that reveals the effects of digital media use in peopleis enabling new ways to measure human behavior in situ unobtrusively and with pr’s everyday lives. The ongoing revolution in the development of sensor technologies ecision. I will discuss how I create living laboratories using a mixed-methods approach with unobtrusive sensors, showing for example, how attention focus, stress and affect are impacted by digital media use, and how attention follows rhythms over the day. I will discuss the role of cognitive processes in using digital media and how mental resources are taxed, for example when people switch rapidly among multiple tasks or try to inhibit distractions. Attention is goal-directed, and maintaining goals is especially hard when working with digital media where there are competing demands on attention. There are also individual differences and physiological effects in maintaining focus while on digital media. I claim that placing the burden on individuals to be self-disciplined to focus is the wrong approach. I will discuss other strategies, including how technology might support people in being more focused and productive with digital media. Read more Read less

Designing for and with Emergent Users
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have continuously seen adoption by new users over the last 50 years. Yet, in the last 16 years or so, and especially after mobile phones started becoming popular, a large and distinctly new group of users has been taking to ICTs. I will explain what we mean by these “emergent” users of technology, how they are distinct, and how ICTs have been reaching them. I will present the “user-usage” model that describes how emergent users are adapting to ICTs, which design strategies seem to help in their adoption, and what challenges remain. I will illustrate these with examples of interactive products designed in our lab. Through these examples I will try to show how we can design for and with emergent users. Read more Read less
Interaction with Data-driven Society
ICT made cross-border for countries, sexualities, physical space and
cybernetic space, physical possibilities, proprietary rights, and builds data-driven
society.
Firstly, human interface meant interaction between human and machine/computer. And now
human interface means interaction between human and data-driven society/human in
data-driven society.
On the other hand, data-drive society builds the new border; ethnic nationalism and
civic nationalism, cyber-attack, and so on. In addition, the covid-19 drives the
non-contact economy.
Human interface with data-driven society must break these new borders.

Perceptual and Cognitive Changes Induced by Decoded Neurofeedback
In this talk, I will give a lines of research using neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is an experimental framework in which brain activations are shown to participants in a real-time manner to change their behaviors. In particular, our research group combined conventional neurofeedback methods with cutting-edge machine learning method that enables to read out or decode specific information from brain activations. Thus, our method is termed decoded neurofeedback, or DecNef in short (Shibata et al., Science, 2011). It has been shown that DecNef can induce specific activation patterns in targeted brain areas which in turn lead to changes in various types of behavior and condition (e.g., Shibata et al., PLoS Biol, 2016; Shibata et al., NeuroImage, 2019). Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of DecNef as a new medical intervention (Koizumi et al., Nat Hum Behav, 2016; Taschereau-Domouchel et al., PNAS, 2018) and bidirectional adaptation system between the brain and computers (Zhang et al., Curr Biol, 2020). These research findings may provide unique opportunity to rethink the relationship between humans and computers. Read more Read less
Designing for Humans: Getting Responsible AI in Practice
Responsible AI is becoming a critical endeavour for all of us who are looking to bring in AI capabilities into various products and services that we work on. Whether it is a new product or an existing one, careful consideration of the HCI elements from a system design standpoint are going to be essential if we are to achieve responsible AI in practice. We will talk through a handy framework to apply intentional design and HCI principles to these efforts. The talk will walk through some case studies to illustrate this framework in action and conclude with how you can incorporate these ideas into your existing workflows to promote ubiquitous and relatively frictionless adoption.

Design Guidelines for the Size and Length of Chinese Characters Displayed in the Intelligent Vehicle's Central Console Interface
Advances in vehicle technology open up both opportunities and challenges for human-machine interface (HMI) design in intelligent vehicles. Design guidelines for Chinese characters in central consoles of vehicles have rarely been discussed in human-computer interaction community. In this paper, we investigated the size and the length of Chinese characters in the intelligent vehicle’s central control screen, based on international design guidelines and standards. The experiment involved 30 participants performing simulated in-vehicle secondary task. The result from the experiments shows that the usability of characters increases and the driver's workload decreases as the characters get larger and shorter. We also propose a set of recommended values for size and length of Chinese characters in this context. Future work will focus on providing design guidelines for other aspects of HMI design in intelligent vehicles. Read more Read less
Support Effective Decision Making by Engaging Humans with Predictive Models via Interactive Visualization
Every day, we are continuously generating a huge amount of data in different forms. While many automatic methods have been proposed to extract insights, a tremendous number of tasks are still ill-defined, vague, and exploratory. This calls for more effective and tighter collaboration between humans and machines. My research takes a step to address this issue using interactive and intelligent visualization by involving end-users. In this talk, I will discuss how we utilize and understand predictive models with visualization to engage humans in the loop. I am going to showcase a few example projects situated in a range of real-world applications, such as data exploration, online education, and network analysis. I will also outline a few interesting future directions for using visualization to enhance general data analytical workflows. Read more Read less

Data visualization literacy as a key for data understanding
Visual representations of data have become a major part of our everyday lives. The amount of data visualization techniques to visually represent information has grown exponentially within the last years. Especially due to the Corona pandemic, visual representations of data have become ubiquitous in the daily discourse. However, simultaneously, a detailed understanding of the influencing factors that allow people to use the information visually is still lacking. Data visualization literacy defines the human ability to construct and read data visualizations. The mechanisms for human understanding of data are not researched and understood very well yet. Semantic rules for the understanding of data visualizations would allow researchers to assess the information or meaning users can derive from a visual representation of data. In this talk I will give an overview of the known concepts of data visualization literacy and the important directions for future work. Read more Read less
Social Responsibility of Design Innovation
Rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and its application will change how we think and live in the future, reshape social protocols and moral ethics, resulting in an immense but immeasurable impact. The ethics problems of the big data (with noise) may cause interference and threat to the fairness and inclusiveness in design innovation. In the era of globalization, ubiquitous computing and IoT, designers need to rationally rethink their role as a bridge between humanities and technology, observe and explore the "uncertainty" in AI applications from a new perspective.
