The House with a Million Windows: Interactive Fiction for Narrative Restorying

The House with a Million Windows (HWAMW) is an LLM-based interactive fiction system that lets users narrate a story and then view it through a series of AI-generated "windows" that reframe the narrative in various literary styles. The system is grounded in the psychological restorying intervention, aiming to deepen users' exploration of meaning in their personal stories. Empirical results indicate that HWAMW enhances users' sense of narrative identity, and expert reviews suggest it achieves this by facilitating restorying rather than simply generating new content.

Exploring Multimodal Prompt for Visualization Authoring with Large Language Models

The paper investigates how large language models (LLMs) interpret ambiguous or incomplete text prompts for visualization authoring and introduces visual prompts as a complementary modality to improve precision. An empirical study informs the design of VisPilot, a system that allows users to create visualizations using text, sketches, and direct manipulation. A controlled user study and expert evaluation show that multimodal prompts help users convey spatial constraints, local references, and design preferences while maintaining task efficiency comparable to text-only prompting.
