The aim of this study is to utilize people's psychophysiological information as meta-universe social embodied cues to enhance large-scale co-occurring experiences. To do so, we need to explore and reveal people's cognitive preferences for various types of physiological data and their corresponding expressions. This workshop will allow each participant to experience a DJ performance in a VR environment that combines five physiological signals captured from a real baseline user: electromyography (pEMG), galvanic skin response (GSR), heart rate (HR), respiratory effort (RE), and oxygen saturation (SpO2). After experiencing the prototype, users will participate in an online survey that will focus on collecting feedback and preferences on the granularity and specificity of physiological data representation to support our subsequent research and design decisions.
Target Audience:
-
Attendees interested in human-computer interaction, VR devices, meta-universe socialization, physiological signal expression, and VR gaming are welcome to experience it.
Expected results:
-
Participants will learn about different physiological data and their respective effects on physiological synchronization and user-perceived coexistence, and experience a meta-universe co-presence virtual experience that integrates physiological data. Meanwhile, participants' feedback will be applied to future research and design.

Workshop 6
Archaeology of the Future: Experiencing, discussing and testing living archives through examples of Hakka culture
Workshop Time: November 22 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Workshop Location:Room 1012, Building C1, Nanshan Zhiyuan, Shenzhen, China
Workshop Language: English/Chinese
Equipment requirements: participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops
Shenzhen is a high-density, vibrant city in southern China that exhibits the rapid transformation and development that characterizes the urban region. Since its rise to prominence in the 1980s, it has not developed a collective memory, but rather reflects the stories of individuals from all over the country in search of opportunity.
The research project "Archaeology of the Future", carried out by the Materiality Research Group of the School of Design at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), considers the city as an archaeological site of the future. It raises questions about the validity of traditional methods of historical reconstruction in our rapidly changing, interconnected society. The research combines digital tools and artificial intelligence through community engagement and co-design to create both veridical and fictional reconstructions.
We propose a speculative archive called the Living Archive to challenge and re-imagine the exploration and accessibility of cultural heritage, ultimately providing a participatory approach to urban archaeology. By engaging with tangible, real-world materials and digital technologies, we question traditional narratives and reject single perspectives. We utilize open source APIs and web technologies to develop a virtual domain that connects dispersed collection materials and stories, encompassing regenerative data.
Focusing on Hakka culture in the Pingshan community of Shenzhen, we aim to reveal hidden narrative and material aspects through technological integration. We hope to provide new insights into interaction design, ethnographic research, applied computing and human-computer interaction through collaborative and speculative strategies that connect history with contemporary and future identities and actions.
As part of the broader project "Archaeology of the Future", we have designed a web platform that aims to become a living archive of Hakka culture. Through this platform, the public can explore the material in a personalized, non-imposed narrative in a fictional historical space reconstructed with veridical remains, collected stories, community ideas, and AI tools generated from texts, 2D images, and 3D objects. Further implementation of the archive includes the integration of public comments, feedback, knowledge and stories as part of an evolving cultural heritage that is "never fixed".
Target Audience:
-
Researchers, practitioners and students in the fields of design, media arts, cultural heritage, social computing, artificial intelligence and technology, as well as anyone interested in material culture, urban studies, community engagement and narrative methods and practices.
Expected results:
-
Browse and interact with virtual spaces
-
Contribute to the improvement of participatory archives by presenting ideas and feedback
-
Experience what it is like to be an active agent of cultural and physical transformation
-
Creative dialogues on the future of technology, cultural heritage and materials
-

Workshop 7
The Creation of Creation: Building a Multimodal Intelligence for AIGC Creation Based on GenFlow
Workshop Time: November 22 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Workshop Location:Room 1003, Building C1, Nanshan Zhiyuan, Shenzhen, China
Workshop Language: Chinese
Equipment requirements: laptop computers
With the continuous evolution of generative capabilities and the productization of algorithmic capabilities, generative AI-based intelligences have become indispensable tools for creative activities. These intelligences are capable of generating rich multimodal content such as images, videos, voices and texts, thus providing a wide range of inspirational sources and practical outcomes for creative activities. Creativity is a complex and multi-stage process, and each stage involves repeated thought dispersion and convergence, and through multiple rounds of iterative interaction with the intelligences to gradually approach the creative goal.
We propose GenFlow, a multimodal human-intelligent body interaction framework for complex creative tasks, a collaborative authoring framework for human-intelligent body systems in multimodal creative tasks. By emphasizing the provision of multimodal interpretable and controllable interfaces at different stages of creation, it can enhance the creative experience and creative quality of complex creative tasks such as illustrated books, narrative comics, dynamic posters, and conference proceedings. In this workshop, we will first introduce the GenFlow framework to the participants, and through case sharing and hands-on exercises, we will jointly explore, refine and extend the human-intelligent body co-authoring framework.
In hands-on practice, workshop participants will engage in three design and research activities: (1) using the Intelligent Body Creation Platform to guide the construction of creative intelligences containing multimodal AI atomic capabilities such as image, video, voice, and text based on the GenFlow framework; (2) producing high-quality creative works based on the intelligences created in (1); and (3) cross-evaluation to discuss the GenFlow framework's possibilities for multimodal human-intelligent body collaboration.
The workshop provides a useful reference and practice platform for design, creativity and interdisciplinary scholars, practitioners and enthusiasts to promote design thinking and innovation in the GenAI era.
Target Audience:
-
Teachers and students with entry-level experience in Intelligent Design, Creative Design, AIGC, Artificial Intelligence, Big Models, or other related fields, as well as practitioners in the creative field in the above fields or as independent creators, creative media content producers, and other creative field practitioners are welcome to attend this workshop.
Expected results:
-
Participants learn about the concepts, principles, and architecture of the GenFlow human-intelligence co-authoring framework;
-
Master the methods and tools for creating intelligences that match the user's creative needs and behavioral patterns, and create examples of intelligences in a hands-on manner;
-
Collecting and integrating the discussions on the GenFlow framework from the participants, to lay the foundation for further optimizing the framework's functions and enhancing its usefulness in multimodal human-intelligence collaboration, as well as to promote in-depth research and discussions on this topic in both academia and industry.

The research project "Future Archaeology," conducted by the Materialities Research Group at SUSTechSchool of Design, assumes the city is a future archaeological site. This raises questions about the effectiveness of conventional historical reconstruction methods in our rapidly changing, interconnected society. The research encompasses realistic and fictional reconstructions through digital tools and artificialintelligence based on community involvement and co-design.
We suggest a speculative archive, which we call "Living Archive," to challenge and reimagine the investigation and accessibility of cultural heritage, ultimately contributing to a participatory approach to urbanarchaeology.
