[Publication - September & October 2023] We announce the publication of the following two research papers which were conducted as part of the CREAMS project: a) Title: From Physical to Virtual Art Exhibitions and Beyond: Survey and some Issues for Consideration for the Metaverse in Journal of Cultural Heritage .
Abstract: This manuscript addresses the increasing importance of Extended Reality (XR) in art exhibitions. It elaborates on the technologies employed, design issues, pertinent aims, and evaluation metrics. The main research questions concern the types of technologies currently used, the primary design considerations, and the ways user experience can be enhanced in accordance with the artists’ and curators' vision, as well as visitors' needs. Moreover, the paper also examines relevant evaluation criteria. The manuscript reviews the types of technologies used for virtual art exhibitions and examines their design characteristics and pertinent issues on interfaces, resources, and affordances. Furthermore, an analysis of the use of virtual humans as a model for increased engagement follows a discussion of a comparison between virtual versus physical exhibitions. Moreover, the parameters that affect user experience are discussed thoroughly, given their pivotal importance in such exhibitions. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of the above-mentioned aspects of XR exhibitions with an emphasis on optimizing design for art-related content and offering informed suggestions for future directions. The overall scope of this paper is to examine ways to exploit XR as a creative medium rather than merely replicate physical exhibitions. In this context, the papers’ discussion includes the Metaverse.
b) Title: Comparison of extended reality platforms and tools for viewing and exhibiting art." , in Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage.
Abstract: The rapid evolution of mobile smart devices and the development of inexpensive immersive devices (VR googles, google box etc.) in the past two decades have brought opportunities in the field of curating, storing, and viewing art. These new ways of experiencing art with the help of the latest technologies extend from physical to the virtual space, and any combination of the two. This paper presents a comparative study of selected existing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) Platforms and Tools for viewing and exhibiting Art. This study explores the key features of each platform, whether the platform is open source or a commercial product, the enabling of interactivity between the users within each platform, and finally the strong and weak points of each. To conclude, this study explores how such platforms and tools can transform the field of curating and exhibiting art.

[Publication - May & July 2023] We announce the publication of the following two research papers which were conducted as part of the TRUST-ID project. It is a culmination of our efforts in the project, which has now successfully concluded.
a) Title: "Ensuring Academic Integrity and Trust in Online Learning Environments: A Longitudinal Study of an AI-Centered Proctoring System in Tertiary Educational Institutions", in Education Sciences. To learn more, please check out the full article https://doi.org/10.3390/educsci13060566.

Abstract: The credibility of online examinations in Higher Education is hardened by numerous factors and use-case scenarios. This paper reports on a longitudinal study, that spanned over eighteen months, in which various stakeholders from three European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) participated, aiming to identify core threat scenarios experienced during online examinations, and to, accordingly, propose threat models, data metrics and countermeasure features that HEI learning management systems can embrace to address the identified threat scenarios. We also report on a feasibility study of an open-source intelligent and continuous student identity management system, namely TRUSTID, which implements the identified data metrics and countermeasures. A user evaluation with HEI students (n = 133) revealed that the TRUSTID system is resilient and effective against impersonation attacks, based on intelligent face and voice identification mechanisms, and scored well in usability and user experience. Aspects concerning the preservation of privacy in storing, retrieving and processing sensitive personal data are also discussed.

Abstract: The worldwide shift to distance learning at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) during the COVID-19 global pandemic has raised several concerns about the credibility of online academic activities, especially regarding student identity management. Traditional online frameworks cannot guarantee the authenticity of the enrolled student, which requires instructors to manually verify their identities, a time-consuming task that compromises academic quality. This article presents a comprehensive review of existing efforts around continuous user identification, focusing on intelligent proctoring systems and automatic identification methods, as well as their applicability in this domain. We conclude that there is a clear need for continuous user identification technology by HEIs, but existing systems lack agile system integration models that combine many inputs, such as face, voice and behavioural data in a practical manner, and encounter numerous barriers related to data protection during implementation.

[Workshop Chair - April 2023] We announce the 1st International Workshop on Accessibility and Multimodal Interaction Design Approaches in Museums for People with Impairments, which is set to take place alongside the MobileHCI 2023 conference.

Workshop Abstract: This workshop focuses on methods, tools, and techniques to design and develop mobile museum applications for people with impairments. More specifically, the research that will be presented will relate to technological solutions that support museum visitors with visual, motor, dexterity, hearing, and cognitive impairments.

[Publication - February 2023] We are happy to announce the publication of our research paper: Title: "A Review of EEG-Based User Authentication: Trends and Future Research Directions", in IEEE ACCESS. To learn more, please check out the full article https://10.1109/ACCESS.2023.3253026.

Abstract: Recently, the use of Electroencephalography (EEG) in scientific research on User Authentication (UA) has led to cutting-edge experiments that seek to identify and authenticate individuals based on their brain activity in particular usage scenarios. Utilizing EEG signals, derived from brain activity, might provide innovative solutions to contemporary security issues in traditional knowledge-based user authentication, including the threat of shoulder surfing. In this review paper, we analyze 108 different EEG-based user authentication experiments based on the following perspectives: a) the user experimental setup, with an emphasis on the applied EEG- protocols; b) the artificial intelligence techniques employed and finally c) the security and privacy preservation aspects. The reviewed papers cover a broad time frame from 1998 to 2022 and include various experimental protocols and algorithms used for classifying EEG signals. Additionally, the majority of the referenced works report findings from multiple experiments that incorporate distinct approaches and configurations. This leads to a discussion on best practices for EEG-based User Authentication and conclusions suggesting future research directions that consists, among others, of considering homomorphically encrypted biometric templates for information leakage prevention through federated learning approaches in decentralized architectures. We anticipate that the present literature review will provide a roadmap for future research by considering efficiently and effective EEG-based User Authentication methods while at the same time preserving privacy.

[Keynote Speech - November 2022] Happy to share my Keynote Speech at the 17th IEEE International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation & Personalization.

Summary: Scientific evidence underpins that humans differentiate in their inherent way to perceive and process visual information and that these differences in visual information processing immensely affect user experience and task execution in various application domains. This becomes even more relevant within virtual or mixed interaction contexts and applications which by definition necessitate from end-users to perform advanced visual information processing tasks that entails visual attention, search, processing and comprehension. In this talk we will present our recent research efforts which are focused on understanding the interplay among human cognition, visual behaviour and user experience within virtual and mixed reality interaction contexts. By doing this, we aim at building human cognition-centered user models based on users visual behaviour patterns that can serve as a basis for personalizing user interaction aiming to improve user experience within virtual or mixed reality applications.

[Publication - August 2022] Our longitudinal research that spanned over two years and embraced three public European healthcare organizations, with 169 participants, has been published at ACM Transactions on Computing for Healthcare. Title: "Security and Usability of a Personalized User Authentication Paradigm: Insights from a Longitudinal Study with Three Healthcare Organizations" DOI: https://doi.org/10.1145/3564610

Abstract: This paper proposes a user-adaptable and personalized authentication paradigm for healthcare organizations, which anticipates to seamlessly reflect patients episodic and autobiographical memories to graphical and textual passwords aiming to improve the security strength of user-selected passwords and provide a positive user experience. We report on a longitudinal study that spanned over two years in which three public European healthcare organizations participated in order to design and evaluate the aforementioned paradigm. Three studies were conducted (N=169) with different stakeholders: i) a verification study aiming to identify existing authentication practices of the three healthcare organizations with diverse stakeholders (N=9); ii) a patient-centric feasibility study during which users interacted with the proposed authentication system (N=68); and iii) a human guessing attack study focusing on vulnerabilities among people sharing common experiences within location-aware images used for graphical passwords (N=92). Results revealed that the suggested paradigm scored high with regards to users' likeability, perceived security, usability and trust, but more importantly it assists the creation of more secure passwords. On the downside, the suggested paradigm introduces password guessing vulnerabilities from individuals sharing common experiences with the end-users. Findings are expected to scaffold the design of more patient-centric knowledge-based authentication mechanisms within nowadays dynamic computation realms.

[Publication - July 2022] We announce that our paper "Supporting People with Visual Impairments in Cultural Heritage: Survey and Future Research Directions" has been accepted at the International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 2022. - Impact Factor: 4.920
Authors: Sylaiou S., Fidas C. (2022)- DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/10447318.2022.2098930

Abstract: This literature review surveys published research that aims to foster blind and visually impaired (VI) people's engagement with cultural heritage. Fifty (50) papers are included in this survey, published between 2008 and 2021. They mostly focus on multisensory, multimodal, and interdisciplinary, ICT-based assistive human- centered computing approaches. These methods often optimize the user experience of VI-user's through an effort to gain an in-depth understanding of this special group's needs and accordingly design adaptive and adaptable interaction workflows. Moreover, several publications include user evaluations and empirical studies. Findings suggest that approaches tend to become more complex, multimodal, and multidisciplinary as time progresses. This leads to a discussion and conclusions suggesting future research directions in this domain. The proposed way forward relates to a synthesis of methodologies, scientific domains, and approaches into a more holistic, comprehensive, and synergetic model.
