FAME: Exploring Expressive Facial Avatars for Lyrical and Non-Lyrical Music Visualization for d/Deaf Individuals
10.1145/3772318.3790402
d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) individuals often engage with music through a multimodal approach, where visual modalities are also used rather than relying on sound alone. While tools like captions and visualizers offer partial support, they often fail to capture the emotional depth and structural nuances of music. T...

Mountain areas are especially vulnerable to climate change. In recent years, intermittent droughts have forced many Alpine huts to close early or rely on cable cars or helicopters to import water. To raise awareness of water scarcity among hut visitors, we developed Framing Water, a reflective game based on the data ph...

Design feedback helps practitioners improve their artifacts while also fostering reflection and design reasoning. Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT can support design work, but often provide generic, one-off suggestions that limit reflective engagement. We investigate how to guide LLMs to act as design mento...
