Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Lab

Welcome to the Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Lab (HCAIL)! We are a research group in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Seoul. We enjoy working on the intersection of multiple domains: Human-centered AI, Digital Health, Social Computing, and Accessibility & Aging. We are pursing research in the combinations of the following directions:

Artificial Intelligence
Health Informatics
Human-Computer Interaction

Our mission is to advance AI research through design and engineering to support individuals with special needs.

Training to cope with fire disaster situations utilizing virtual reality (VR) environments as educational materials is becoming universalized. It is widely accepted that VR enables young adult trainees to undergo tactical training in potential disaster situations. However, little is known whether older adults are satisfied with using such a technique for disaster response training. To address this insufficiency, we created a VR environment in a subway fire disaster scenario and conducted an experiment, wherein 13 young and 9 older adults were asked to explore the VR environment. We then conducted surveys and semi-structured interviews involving the participants to understand their experiences. The analysis of results revealed that compared to young adults, older adults tended to move greater distances, take longer times, felt less afraid and scared, and experienced less difficulty in manipulating the controller. Subsequently, we suggest design opportunities for creating VR environments for more effective training of older adults.
