Accessible Cyber‑Physical Activities

Recent advances in context sensing, generative AI, robotics, and augmented/mixed reality have created unprecedented opportunities to design cyber-physical systems that meaningfully support accessibility and inclusion in everyday life. These intelligent systems can sense the environment, interpret user goals, and provide adaptive, real-time support, enabling people with disabilities to engage confidently in daily activities ranging from cooking and personal care to creative expression and skill acquisition. However, realizing this potential requires addressing critical challenges in sensing, interaction design, adaptability, and evaluation to ensure systems are trustworthy, user-centered, and extend rather than replace human capabilities. This workshop brings together researchers and designers across HCI, AI, AR/VR, accessibility, and robotics to explore the design and evaluation of accessible cyber-physical systems.

The following posters are presented at the workshop:

• Tracking ASL Gestures Using Autoencoders - Katyani Mehra
• Leveraging LLM to Generate Alt Text for Improving Image Accessibility - Yunseo Moon
• Revealing the Unseen: User-Centered OS-Level Controls for Inference-Aware Privacy - Sieun Park
• CrossGaussian: Enhancing Remote Collaboration through 3D Gaussian Splatting and Real-time 360° Streaming - Seungjae Oh
• OHMNI: Hand-Tracked XR Circuit Prototyping with Integrated SPICE simulation - Kristian Paolo David
• Scaling Context-Aware Task Assistants that Learn from Demonstration and Adapt through Mixed-Initiative Dialogue - Prasoon Patidar
