This thesis explores the integration of kaupapa Māori principles into Virtual Reality (VR) environments, focusing on collaboration with virtual agents within Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research. Kaupapa Māori, as an indigenous knowledge system, and kaupapa Māori research, as an indigenous methodology, offer a cultural lens through which the design and implementation of VR technologies can enhance user engagement, foster inclusive design, and address the grand challenges in HCI identified by Stephanidis et al. (2019). The research is motivated by a gap in existing literature regarding the effects of incorporating kaupapa Māori into the design of Virtual Reality (VR) environments with collaborative virtual agents.
Through a qualitative user study, this thesis investigates how kaupapa Māori interventions influence engagement with a virtual agent, and assesses the implications for inclusive design from a kaupapa Māori perspective. The study was structured around three primary research aims: 1) to investigate kaupapa Māori interventions in VR, 2) to use these interventions to prime engagement when collaborating with a virtual agent, and 3) to contribute to inclusive design principles informed by kaupapa Māori.
Key findings reveal that kaupapa Māori interventions, particularly those inspired by pōwhiri (the Māori welcoming ceremony) and whakapapa (genealogy), can impact users' sense of welcome and connection, and encourage engagement within the virtual environment. While the interventions aimed at priming engagement presented subtle effects, they underscored the complexity of designing meaningful interaction in VR. Furthermore, the study highlights the critical role of cultural perspectives and practices, as provided through wānanga, in the development of culturally informed inclusive design.
The research contributes to Human Computer Interaction (HCI) by demonstrating the potential of indigenous knowledge systems to enrich digital environments, providing novel insights into influencing user engagement and motivation, and expanding the discourse on culturally informed technology design. This thesis advocates for the inclusion of kaupapa Māori and other indigenous epistemologies in the broader field of HCI, suggesting that such integration not only addresses current challenges within the discipline but also paves the way for more accessible, equitable, and culturally resonant technological innovations.

This paper examines the application status and technological progress of service robots in home automation, with a particular focus on floor cleaning robots and companion robots for Alzheimer's patients. The evolution of service robots has been driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, sensor technology, and autonomous navigation, transforming them into indispensable tools in modern households. Floor cleaning robots, equipped with advanced sensors and efficient algorithms, have revolutionized routine household chores by autonomously maintaining clean floors. Companion robots, such as Pepper and those developed in projects like RAMCIP, have shown promise in assisting Alzheimer's patients, offering both practical and therapeutic support. The article also delves into the key technologies enabling these robots, including sensor systems, obstacle avoidance algorithms, and human-computer interaction. Despite the significant progress, challenges remain, particularly in optimizing obstacle avoidance, enhancing HCI, and addressing ethical concerns in caregiving roles. The article concludes by highlighting the future potential of service robots to further integrate into smart homes, offering personalized and context-aware solutions to meet the unique needs of individual households.
... Another aspect of good software design is the usability of the system, which can be evaluated in terms of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) heuristics. HCI is the study of "the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use" [10], essentially focusing on how humans interact with computers. Numerous frameworks have been developed to aid developers in adhering to good design principles. ...

A set of curriculum modules to help instructors teach the principles and techniques of user-interface development to software-engineering students is described. A curriculum module identifies and outlines the content of a specific area of software engineering and is intended to be used by an instructor in designing a course. A support materials package includes materials helpful in teaching a course. The module is not a book and it is not a course. The module covers enough material for a full-year course and is designed to let an instructor select a specific set of topics, perhaps for a few lectures, and, with published work, put together lecture notes, presentation materials, demonstrations, and exercises. It covers the issues, information sources, and methods used in the design, implementation, and evaluation of user interfaces.
This article describes a graduate‐level course entitled “Human‐Computer Interaction.” The theme of the course was development of students’ ability to be critical and creative, within the context of human‐computer interfaces. The aim throughout the course was to expose students to the vagaries of a real‐world human‐computer interface development environment since one learns design best by doing design. This was accomplished through a semester‐long interface development project in which groups of students defined, specified, designed, prototyped, evaluated, and iteratively refined an interactive system with a significant human‐computer interface. The purpose of the interface development project was to give students exposure to the complete process of interface development, not necessarily to develop a complete interface. Other assignments supplemented lecture materials. Student assessments of the course were very positive, indicating that, in particular, the development project was of great use in exposing them to all the phases involved in developing a quality human‐computer interface. The course format and content presented here appear to be a viable model for teaching an effective and enjoyable course on human‐computer interaction.
