Elated to share that the VOXI (Voice Experience Inventory) is now published #openaccess and ready for action in #hci #hri #hai #haii and beyond!

📣 doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhcs.2025.1

The VOXI is a community-driven, validated instrument for measuring user impressions of computer voice. You can already check it out in the CUI '25 paper "Hearing Ambiguity" by Marti De Cet, me, Mohammad Obaid, and Ilaria Torre.

@marioguzman It’s not about nationality; it's about prioritizing (aesthetic) form over functionality.

Let’s not forget that Alan Dye’s background is in branding and package design. That’s exactly the skills profile you want for, well, luxury consumer(!) goods — such as expensive watches.

For productivity-oriented #UX, though, you want #HCI-greats such as Alan Kay and Larry Tesler, both of which happened to work at Apple in the past.

P.S.: Part of the problem is to conflate UX and UI. 😈😉

A quick follow-up. #MobileHCI2025 is in-person only this year. With our odd conference publication model in #HCI this creates two issues for authors.

First, instead of the reduced fee that was available before, online folks now have to pay the full fee (750$ instead of 200$ in 2023) including costs for coffee and lunch. In return, the option to present your work remotely was removed. I think this is not appropriate anymore. Probably too late to change now, but hopefully in the future.

Hello FediFriends, help needed please!

The Toy Library was initially born as case study of the PhD in #HCI at #UCC. We are now a social enterprise creating a good deal of social impact–and many happy faces ❤️ (the best reward!)

BUT, the research needs to advance. Our founder Giorgia seeks more people to answer her research #survey: ucc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_

I bet on the amazing Mastodon community!

@stroughtonsmith Apple could have delivered the world a better experience of navigating a decision tree than the menu bar by now, and this would have been a good time to do it.

I do #loveToHate #Apple, but there are sadly few companies who make bold moves in #HCI #UXD and are followed by industry. Maybe Apple isn't even that anymore?

Come on. Alan Kay was great, but the desktop metaphor *can* be improved on.
