We introduce Ponify, a sonification method that translates a painting’s sense of dynamics into music through pose analysis. Ponify analyzes the limb movements of human figures in paintings and configures musical parameters such as the tempo and density to convey dynamic perceptions.

This article introduces Designatomy, a novel approach to guide technology-driven design approaches to tech-novice design students. This method employs a taxonomy framework as a foundational thinking strategy, encouraging students to independently explore and comprehend design features shaped by new technologies.

This paper envisions generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and eXtended Reality (XR) as means to better novices in adopting dual roles as designers and users while personalizing 3D products. A generative design study with 24 participants in their homes examined how novices think and act while designing personal products.

This study investigates how XR interactions enhance museum knowledge delivery by analyzing 737 exhibit commentaries, interviewing curators to identify communication challenges, and proposing XR design strategies that incorporate situated visualization, spatio-temporal interaction, and participatory embodiment for richer visitor experiences.

This study proposes a desktop robot companion, Roby, that monitors workers’ behaviors to provide real-time interactive feedback to increase productivity and to enhance the WFH experience.

ShapeloreVR is proposed, which utilizes everyday objects and basic primitives in a VR design playground so that non-experts can quickly interact with, merge, modify, and generate desired 3D shapes while brainstorming.
