Conference theme: Span across 3 days, the conference’s theme of HCI4AI explored topics such as Explainable AI (XAI) and User Trust; Conversational Interfaces and Chatbots; Ethical AI in UX Design; Bias and Fairness in AI-powered UX; Human-Centered AI and Interaction Design; HCI and Healthcare (eHealth, mHealth, assistive tech, telemedicine); Privacy, Security, and Ethical UX and more.en_US
dc.description.abstractThis work presents a novel approach to assessing accessibility in Extended Reality (XR) through the development of Virtual Player Models (VPMs) for simulating visual impairments. Grounded in qualitative insights from visually impaired users and informed by clinical vision parameters, each VPM encodes visual perceptual traits and adaptive strategies using a structured, JSON-based approach. These models can be integrated into XR design workflows to simulate user experiences in real time, supporting early-stage identification of accessibility barriers. We demonstrate the concept through a prototype VPM schema and outline its potential for extending accessible design practices in XR development.en_US
