Human-AI Interaction in Space: Insights from a Mars Analog Mission with the Harmony Large Language Model

Authors: Hippolyte Hilgers, Jean Vanderdonckt, and Radu-Daniel Vatavu

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 130, Advancing Human-Computer Interaction for Space Exploration (SpaceCHI 2025)

Abstract
The operational complexities of space missions require reliable, context-aware technical assistance for astronauts, especially when technical expertise is not available onboard and communication with Earth is delayed or limited. In this context, Large Language Models present a promising opportunity to augment human capabilities. To this end, we present Harmony, a model designed to provide astronauts with real-time technical assistance, fostering human-AI collaboration during analog missions. We report empirical results from an experiment involving seven analog astronauts that evaluated their user experience with Harmony in both a conventional environment and an isolated, confined, and extreme physical setting at the Mars Desert Research Station over four sessions, and discuss how the Mars analog environment impacted their experience. Our findings reveal the extent to which human-AI interactions evolve across various user experience dimensions and suggest how Harmony can be further adapted to suit extreme environments, with a focus on SpaceCHI.

Unbound Human-Machine Interfaces for Interaction in Weightless Environments

Authors: Jessica R. Cauchard

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 130, Advancing Human-Computer Interaction for Space Exploration (SpaceCHI 2025)

Abstract
User interfaces are subject to the rules of physics (e.g., Newton and Archimedes' laws) relevant to the environment they are in. As such, most interfaces and interaction techniques have been designed for Earth surface. However, when interacting with technology in weightless environments, such as in space, both human and machine will be subject to different physical constraints. For instance, underwater or in Space, people can experience spatial disorientation, which will in turn affect how they use a system. This position paper conceptualizes unbound Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) as interfaces where either, or both, human and machine are located beyond Earth surface. In particular, it describes how traditional HCI needs to be rethought for interaction in weightless environments and how theoretical models such as joint cognition can support future developments of unbound interfaces.

Monitoring the Structural Health of Space Habitats Through Immersive Data Art Visualization

Authors: Ze Gao, Yuan Zhuang, Kunqi Wang, and Mengyao Guo

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 130, Advancing Human-Computer Interaction for Space Exploration (SpaceCHI 2025)

Abstract
As humanity advances toward long-term space habitation, traditional SHM systems - reliant on abstract data representations - struggle to support rapid decision-making in extreme environments. This study addresses this critical gap by introducing an engineering-art-human factors framework that transforms SHM through immersive data-art visualization. By integrating sensor networks and machine learning, structural data (stress, vibration, deformation) is converted into intuitive visual languages: dynamic color gradients and biomimetic morphologies leverage perceptual laws (e.g., Weber-Fechner) to amplify critical signals. Multimodal interfaces (AR, haptic feedback) and natural elements mitigate cognitive load and psychological stress in confined habitats. Our contribution lies in redefining SHM as a synergy of precision and intuition, enabling "at-a-glance" assessments while balancing functionality and human-centric design. The urgency of this research stems from the inadequacy of conventional systems in extreme space conditions and the growing demand for astronaut safety and operational efficiency. This framework not only pioneers a sustainable monitoring paradigm for space habitats but also extends to terrestrial high-risk infrastructure, demonstrating the necessity of interdisciplinary innovation in extreme environments.

(Can't) Fly Me to the Moon or Mars? Context of Use Analysis Approaches for Space Exploration

Authors: Tilo Mentler

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 130, Advancing Human-Computer Interaction for Space Exploration (SpaceCHI 2025)

Abstract
Contexts of use are a central concept of research and development in human-computer interaction (HCI). Their in-depth understanding is a key for usable and acceptable computer-aided solutions and a particular challenge in connection with space exploration. It is necessary to examine which of the established approaches can be implemented here and where methodological adjustments are necessary. This article provides a systematic consideration of three perspectives to understand space contexts of use: theory and literature, imparted experiential knowledge, and personal experience. Potentials and risks are evaluated. The findings of HCI research in safety-critical contexts and under COVID-19 conditions that can be transferred to space HCI are taken up.

Guiding Geospatial Analysis Processes in Dealing with Modifiable Areal Unit Problems

Authors: Guoray Cai and Yue Hao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 346, 13th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2025)

Abstract
Geospatial analysis has been widely applied in different domains for critical decision making. However, the results of spatial analysis are often plagued with uncertainties due to measurement errors, choice of data representations, and unintended transformation artifacts. A well known example of such problems is the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) which has well documented effects on the outcome of spatial analysis on area-aggregated data. Existing methods for addressing the effects of MAUP are limited, are technically complex, and are often inaccessible to practitioners. As a result, analysts tend to ignore the effects of MAUP in practice due to lack of expertise, high cognitive loads, and resource limitations. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a machine-guidance approach to augment the analyst’s capacity in mitigating the effect of MAUP. Based on an analysis of practical challenges faced by human analysts, we identified multiple opportunities for the machine to guide the analysts by alerting to the rise of MAUP, assessing the impact of MAUP, choosing mitigation methods, and generating visual guidance messages using GIS functions and tools. For each of the opportunities, we characterize the behavior patterns and the underlying guidance strategies that generate the behavior. We illustrate the behavior of machine guidance using a hotspot analysis scenario in the context of crime policing, where MAUP has strong effects on the patterns of crime hotspots. Finally, we describe the computational framework used to build a prototype guidance system and identify a number of research questions to be addressed. We conclude by discussing how the machine guidance approach could be an answer to some of the toughest problems in geospatial analysis.

Designing the Human-Machine Symbiosis (Dagstuhl Seminar 23212)

Authors: Ellen Yi-Luen Do, Pattie Maes, Florian `Floyd' Mueller, and Nathan Semertzidis

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 13, Issue 5 (2023)

Abstract
Our understanding of computers simply executing tasks is changing towards one where the human and machine enter a symbiosis: computers are increasingly extending human capacity by integrating with bodily senses, thanks to sensor and actuator advances as well as enhanced software developments. Wearables, augmented reality, exoskeletons and implantable devices are all emerging trends that mark the beginning of such a human-machine symbiosis. What is still missing, though, is a thorough understanding of how to design such symbiotic user experiences in a systematic way, as, despite the increase of associated systems entering the market, there is a lack of understanding of how such a human-machine symbiosis emerges and what theoretical frameworks underlie it. Open questions around this topic are concerned with whether such systems can enhance human empowerment, what role a sense of control plays in the associated user experiences, and how to responsibly design devices that all people can benefit from. To begin answering such questions, this Dagstuhl Seminar invites experts from both industry and academia in order to bring together leaders from so far independent streams of investigation to work on a coherent approach to human-machine symbiosis that engages a holistic perspective while considering also societal and ethical issues.

Authors: Kai Kunze, Pattie Maes, Florian `Floyd' Mueller, and Katrin Wolf

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 12, Issue 12 (2023)

Abstract
Mobile phones and other connected wearable systems transformed the way we interact with information, offering access to vast amounts of knowledge at our fingertips. However, the challenge remains on how to make this information more accessible and intuitive. The field of cognitive augmentation aims to enhance our cognitive abilities through technology, allowing us to interact with digital data more naturally and efficiently. This Dagstuhl Seminar brought together experts in neuroscience, psychology, physiology, wearable computing, human-computer interaction, machine perception, and pattern recognition to discuss the possibility of augmenting our cognitive skills and creating new digital senses. The seminar explored the latest findings in these fields and their potential for improving human performance, productivity, and creativity. Ultimately, the goal is to bridge the gap between humans and machines, enabling a more seamless and intuitive interaction between the two. The main discussion topic centered around the possibilities and challenges of digitally augmenting our cognition.

Human-Computer Integration (Dagstuhl Seminar 18322)

Authors: Florian Mueller, Pattie Maes, and Jonathan Grudin

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8 (2019)

Abstract
The rise of technology that supports a partnership between user and computer highlights an opportunity for a new era of "human-computer integration", contrasting the previously dominant paradigm of computers functioning as tools. However, most work around these technologies only focused on the instrumental perspective to achieve extrinsic performance objectives. However, phenomenology emphasizes that it is also important to support the experiential perspective, which indicates that technology should also help people pay attention to their lived experiences and personal growth in order to deepen their understanding of their own bodies. This seminar focuses on embodied integration, where a computer tightly integrates with the person's body. Although an increasing number of systems are emerging, a thorough understanding of how to design such systems is notably absent. The reason for this is the limited knowledge about how such embodied partnerships unfold, and what underlying theory could guide such developments. This seminar brought together leading experts from industry and academia, including those who are central to the development of products and ideas such as wearables, on-body robotics, and exertion systems. The goal was to address key questions around the design of embodied integration and to jump-start collaborations to pioneer new approaches for a human-computer integrated future.
