    Experiencing Social Robots for Traffic Guidance using Virtual Reality Videos
    (Mensch und Computer 2024 - Workshopband, 2024) Schrapel, Maximilian; Bied, Manuel; Bruno, Barbara; Vinel, Alexey
    Integrating autonomous vehicles and smart infrastructure into urban traffic systems is a crucial component for the development of future cities. Therefore, effective public communication and early citizen involvement is essential to align expectations with the capabilities of novel technology. We propose to use point of view 360-degree videos in Virtual Reality to present potential technologies in early stages to stakeholders, accelerate design processes and to measure physiological responses. We demonstrate our proposed method by the use case of social robots using V2X communication and arm gestures for pedestrian traffic guidance at unsignalized intersections. Initial video recordings with the robot in traffic in a Wizard of Oz setting showed curiosity among pedestrians about the robot's use case.

    Technology-Centric Real-World Labs: Challenges and Opportunities for a New Mode of Participatory Research From the Perspective of Computer Science
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) Gerling, Kathrin; Vinel, Alexey; Müller, Karin; Nierling, Linda; Stiefelhagen, Rainer; Karmann, Caroline; Lang, Daniel; Asfour, Tamim
    Real-World Labs (RWLs) hold the promise of directly involving citizens in shared shaping of research with the goal of societal transformation. However, particularly in the case of technologycentric RWLs, this is associated with unique challenges with respect to the way technology-based intervention is negotiated particularly with respect to accessibility and understanding of emerging technologies. In this position paper, we reflect upon these challenges on the basis of three RWLs, "Accessibility", "Artificial Intelligence and Robotics", and "Cooperative Autonomous Mobility". We close with guiding principles for technology-centric RWLs that we wish to discuss with the research community in an effort to ensure that the introduction of technological intervention does not threaten the democratic notion of the concept.
