This paper introduces a video structuring framework embedded into the authoring tool Pub2Vid. The tool supports users with the creation of their video outline and script, providing real video examples and recommendations based on the analysis of 40 publication summarization videos which were rated in a user study with 68 participants. Following a four-tier evaluation methodology, the application’s usability is assessed and improved via amateur and expert interviews, two rounds of usability tests and two case studies. It is shown that the tool and its recommendations are particularly useful for beginners due to the simple design and intuitive components as well as suggestions based on real video examples.","PeriodicalId":120872,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127962515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the lack of inwards facing cameras in XR devices (AR Glasses, HMD etc.) this is not a straightforward process. As a solution, recent XR teleconferencing platforms are trying to create a more \"immersive\" experience by replacing the self view with avatars, placing 3D models in space, creating shared spaces and other engaging features; approaches that are quite demanding and even then do not create a \"traditional\" teleconferencing experience. In this work, we are using an XR device (AR Glasses, or smartphone) to create a seamless and natural video calling experience. By using the AR Glasses to record an existing self-view from a reflective surface, like a mirror, the user is able to easily conduct a video call with a party, even if they are using a different setup. To demonstrate this concept, we present the MiroAR application. We conclude this paper by discussing the roadmap, shortcomings and possible extensions of our work.","PeriodicalId":120872,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116388761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incorporating Augmented Reality into Cultural Heritage has a slew of benefits. Safeguarding of Cultural Heritage is vital because it serves as a link between the past and the present. Museums do not engage their audiences, particularly primary school-aged children, and as a result, youngsters show little interest in their cultural history, and museums cannot compete with more technologically advanced and modern kinds of entertainment. The purpose of this study was to spark children’s interest in Cultural Heritage as they engage with it. Under the project, a Cultural Heritage game using eight Ovahimba items was developed and tested at a local primary school.

Recent data-oriented approaches have created the need for large-scale annotated datasets. However, most existing datasets present some weaknesses, because of the collecting methods used. In order to further highlight these issues, we investigate in this work how human visual attention is deployed when performing a facial expression recognition task. To do so, we carried out several complementary experiments, using the eye-tracking technology, as well as the BubbleView metaphor, both under laboratory and crowdsourcing settings. We show significant variations in gaze patterns depending on the emotion represented, but also on the difficulty of the task, i.e., whether the emotion is correctly recognised or not. Moreover, we use these results to propose recommendations on the ways to collect label data for facial expression recognition datasets.","PeriodicalId":120872,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121519532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
