Licensing isn't spelled out on the announcement page, which matters if you work with sensitive study recordings. Which part would you test first? #EmpathicComputing #SpeechTech [3/3]

Which is why consent and governance cannot be an afterthought for us. What should a lab like ours be doing differently? #DataSovereignty #EmpathicComputing [3/3]

We work with faces, voices, heart rate and gaze: data people share because they trust the setup. Verifiable rather than merely claimed feels like the right bar. Would you share physiological data if the guarantee were auditable? #EmpathicComputing #Privacy [3/3]

ISMAR has shaped a quarter-century of AR and MR research, and much of our lab's work on shared AR workspaces and social presence grew out of it. ACM SUI follows in Bari 10-11 Oct. Which paper or demo should we all be reading? #EmpathicComputing #XR [2/2]

3/ Most of our studies run on Quest 3, and refresh rate shapes comfort, presence and the physiological signals we record. Tried it yet? Can you feel it? #XR #EmpathicComputing

2/ When an agent acts for you, how it reads your reactions matters. Sensing hesitation or frustration and responding well is what empathic computing is about. What should an agent notice about you before it acts? #HCI #EmpathicComputing

2/ Trust is the thread we watch most. Our lab works on systems that sense emotional state, and that only works if people understand and trust them. Going along? Tell us what stood out. #AotearoaAI #EmpathicComputing
