We present SyncSpace, a system that achieves both spatial alignment and visual consistency between a generated 3DGS world and physical space. We first scan the space via depth sensing to extract 3D bounding boxes, which we render into a layout-only panorama and feed as a geometric prior to a generative world model, producing a Gaussian splat scene in which objects are re-semantized to fit a target style without per-object control. We then align the generated scene to physical space with a coarse-to-fine registration algorithm, refined manually via pinch gestures when automatic registration does not converge. We demonstrate a hand-tracked engulfment interaction in which the virtual world rises to replace the physical space, and show a single space reskinned into multiple stylistically distinct worlds with its layout preserved.
Co-designing with families for environmental sustainability relies on participatory imagination, yet habitual family roles and uneven participation, especially between adults and young children, often constrain it. A second challenge is continuity: workshop relationships and embo…
In-person small-group conversations occur across nearly every aspect of daily life and play a crucial role in social interaction. However, achieving effective in-person group conversations can be challenging and cognitively demanding. While recent Mixed Reality (MR) headsets show…
Augmenting the surface of 3D objects with capacitive sensing is challenging when their volumes cannot be modified. In this paper, we present a generative computational fabrication pipeline that retrofits surface-only sensor layouts to 3D geometries for multi-touch interaction. Ou…
Mixed Reality (MR) is increasingly being used in exhibition settings to bring digital artworks into relation with the physical environment. However, existing MR exhibition systems are often confined to prototypes or case-specific deployments, offering limited guidance for large-s…
How different populations visually explore artworks bears on cognitive science and on accessibility design, yet most eye-tracking work in autism has used social scenes rather than art, and has analysed where the eyes land while ignoring when and in what order. We present a compar…
As extended reality becomes more popular for social interaction and entertainment, 3D avatars must represent the full diversity of body types. Most 3D avatar systems only support normative bodies and do not accurately depict people with limb differences, amputations, or other mor…
