This paper explores some challenges and opportunities in designing visual interfaces for deep space habitats with communication delays to Earth. The study first examines how Mission Control for the International Space Station (ISS) operates in detecting and responding to anomalous events. Interviews with participants who have held roles as flight controllers, backroom engineers, astronauts, or flight instructors for ISS and shuttle missions were conducted to gain insights into the responses to anomalous events. The collected anomalous scenarios were then re-considered under the context of deep space missions, where communication delays and other environmental factors are substantially different. Findings and insights on data analysis of the anomalous scenarios were then presented subsequently. Based on the findings, four areas of challenges and opportunities for visual interfaces design were identified. The paper suggests that these design challenges and opportunities be considered in more detail in future research.

In manufacturing industries, equipment arrangement, and layout design are critical factors that directly influence productivity, workplace safety, and workers’ performance. Link analysis, as a human factors approach, has been widely used in industries for many years to improve layout design and machinery arrangement. This approach considers humans' physical and cognitive capabilities and movement limitations to find an optimal design. Virtual reality significantly impacts our society from product design to worker training. Hence, effective virtual training platforms require the same attention to layout design as manufacturing work settings which offer efficient testing of multiple layouts. This research focuses on developing a virtual 3D printing laboratory for workforce training and has used a link analysis and user perception study to improve the layout of the virtual workplace. The research demonstrates the importance of layout design in virtual training platforms and the potential benefits of utilizing link analysis in optimizing layout design.

Understanding the impact of observing a video-based student model demonstrating study behaviors on learning might help educators utilize videos as instructional strategies to promote students’ academic motivation and benefit learning. This study evaluated two competing hypotheses on whether watching videos consisting of a studying person and non-human studying-related visual cues will increase learners’ performance through the lens of modeling and the seductive details effect. A 2 (Human: presence, absence) × 2 (Cues: decorated, plain) randomized factorial design was conducted on Amazon MTurk. A modeling effect was not found in this study. However, support for the seductive details effect hypothesis was found in which observing a human was seductive because indirectly human behavior without specific ties to the learning task in a video appears to cause distraction from learning and trigger a seductive details effect.

Cellphone has become an integral part of people’s daily life. Anxiety may arise from cellphone separation. Although negative cognitive effects of cellphone separation were reported, the mechanism of how cellphone separation anxiety influences cognition. In the present study, we examined the effects of cellphone separation on state anxiety and physiological indicators of cognitive engagement, heart rate (HR), and high frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV). Seventy-five college-aged participants were assigned into three groups (explicit separation, implicit separation, and control groups) and performed a Stroop task. Anxiety, HR and HF-HRV at baseline and during the task were measured. Additionally, trait anxiety, working memory capacity, and daily cellphone usage were measured as covariates. The dependent variables were submitted to repeated-measure mixed-model analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Although there were no group effects on state anxiety and HF-HRV, the implicit cellphone separation group showed the highest level of HR response and the Stroop effect on RTs. The results suggest that the activation of the mental representation of a cellphone, which occurred in the implicit separation group, facilitates cognitive engagement and enlarge the effects of inhibition on the speed of Stroop responses.

Falls on stairs are commonly claimed to be caused by slipping on the tread nosing, but few studies have explored specific foot kinematics at initial contact during stair descent. Further understanding of such kinematics can aid forensic incident investigations. We investigated foot posture at initial contact with the tread surface of seven participants while descending stairs to determine: a) foot posture variability across participants, and b) the effects of foot posture with respect to the nosing on foot placement. We calculated foot posture as the angle at initial contact relative to the horizontal plane using two consistent landmark points on the subjects’ shoes. Our preliminary results demonstrated inter-subject and intra-subject significant differences in foot posture (P<0.05) for both legs. These results demonstrate that further exploring this at specific instances of the gait cycle during stair descent is crucial to better understand fall events during forensic investigations.

Measuring procrastination is critical to discovering how procrastination impacts individuals. Studies have frequently adopted methodologies to quantify procrastination after task deadlines have passed. However, there are no models and strategies to predict procrastination while individuals are still working on tasks. The present exploratory study investigates the individual correlates of eye movement and physiological responses with procrastination. We conducted laboratory experiments with 18 participants and recorded their physiological data during the experiments. Participants’ procrastination levels were computed based on individual behavioral data collected during task completion. For most participants, the number of eye fixations, fixation rate, and standard deviation of skin temperature were related to procrastination. Our preliminary findings can be used to direct future research on modeling procrastination using combinations of eye movement and physiological responses with individual customizations.

Few advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have seemed to be quite as captivating for the public as was the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI. This chatbot has been able to provide remarkably accurate answers to factual questions, write workable code in a variety of programming languages, and generate human-like text passages on any number of topics. Because, at the time of writing, this technology is so new, there is a need to understand the capabilities and limitations of the system. This includes understanding the nature of collaborative and iterative writing. This paper reviews an attempt to write a conference proceedings paper on the ways in which to use ChatGPT to study human-AI interaction. Evaluation of output and the iterative processes required shows the strengths of ChatGPT’s context awareness, while highlighting its limitations in attempts to provide academic references. Additionally, metrics of passage similarity to prior passages is assessed.

One path to significantly reducing traffic deaths is the implementation of automated vehicles. However, the proliferation of automation relies on public acceptance, and debiasing can be a useful approach to persuade the public of the safety benefits of automated vehicles. The research team surveyed 186 adults about their comfort level on drowsy driving, trust in automated vehicles, and whether they would trust an automated vehicle if they were falling asleep at the wheel. Increased age and drowsy driving comfort level predicted a lower level of overall trust in automated vehicles, while only age predicted degree of trust in automated vehicles when sleepy. Participants’ trust in automated vehicles increased when considering the risky circumstance of nodding off at the wheel. Identifying other cases in which drivers would trust automation is one key to de-biasing overconfidence in one’s driving and increasing public trust of automation in situations when automation may be superior.

With increasing wildfires in the Western U.S., preparing individuals for evacuations has become vital. However, putting people in the presence of actual flames and smoke would be dangerous. Virtual Reality training provides valuable experience without endangering safety. To be optimally effective, a training should be designed by combining best practices with user insights. This study analyzed interviews with ten evacuees to identify their regrets and needs for future evacuations, informing VR training design. In a thematic analysis, the themes of Communication, Reflection, and Item Management emerged as critical. In a follow-up survey, participants ranked medicine, documents, and a first-aid kit as the most important items to pack during evacuation. By leveraging evacuee insights, VR training can address communication, mitigate regrets, and improve item management, empowering individuals with skills to navigate evacuations confidently.

Exposure to sensory stimuli such as aromatherapy and immersion in Virtual Reality (VR) has shown impacts on task performance and emotional state. In this study, we examined the effects of stimuli types (olfactory, visual, and both) and themes (forest and café) in a VR environment to improve students’ performance and mood. While both the stimuli type and theme had no influence on the performance of the Stroop Test, providing olfactory with visual stimuli did increase the level of awakeness compared to providing visuals only or olfactory only. The choice of theme was an important factor in affecting mood; presenting the forest theme made participants feel better, more awake, and calmer compared to presenting the café theme. No interaction effect of stimuli and the theme was observed in any of the studied measurements. More complex tasks should be further tested to see whether aforementioned stimuli can have effects on students’ performance.
