Kirill Kronhardt presenting Trickery at MUM24

Kirill Kronhardt presenting PERSONÆR at MUM 24.

Our work isn't just robots! At MUM24, we went back to our roots of interaction design to present Trickery - an educational serious game to bolster resistance against deceptive patterns, and PERSONÆR - a transparency-enhancing browser extension to increase user understanding of privacy issues.

Last week, Kirill Kronhardt got to present our research at MUM24 (International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia)!

First up: Our serious game Trickery, which explores how to convey deceptive (or dark) patterns – which trick users into performing actions they would otherwise not do – through intrinsically integrating them into a narrative video game. Read up on how players reacted to being deceived at https://doi.org/10.1145/3701571.3701588.

Second: Ever wondered what website providers can deduce about your browsing behavior? PERSONÆR – our transparency-enhancing browser extension combines Natural Language Processing with Large Language Models to provide users with an easy-to-understand description of themselves – based entirely on the content they looked at. Read up on our demo and how it works at https://doi.org/10.1145/3701571.3703373
