Gen Z photo AI social pose intelligence privacy-aware guidance trend-driven UX

PoseMate: AI-Generated Socially Driven Pose Guidance for Gen Z Photo-Taking

PoseMate explores how AI can support Gen Z photo-taking by turning socially shared pose trends into controllable, privacy-aware guidance. Rather than recommending a universal best pose, it helps users build meaningful reference sets from filtered social media photos and translate recurring pose patterns into interpretable prompts.

Socio-Spatial Interaction Patterns in Collaborative Offices

To better understand how workplace design shapes social interactions, we ran an empirical study in an office context over a two week period. Based on the data, we discuss dynamics of socio-spatial formations and how this knowledge can support social interactions in the domain of space design systems and interactive interiors.

Socio-Spatial Comfort: Vision-based Analysis for User-Centred Human-Building Interactions

We investigated how office interior layouts influence the way we socially experience office buildings. Using the real-world vision data, we propose the concepts of socio-spatial comfort: social buffers, privacy buffers, and varying proxemics to inform a user-centered way of designing human building interactions and architecture.
