2. A project led by Iryna Luchak, we conducted a VR study to investigate comfort levels with pods. The study identified various factors affecting comfort, including pod quantity, group formation, the presence of passengers, and the interaction of pedestrians with pods.

The system applied roleplaying and storytelling with participants from three communities—Christian, Hindu, and Muslim, yielding valuable insights to develop future systems addressing prejudices among faith-based groups. Congratulations to the team! programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024…
