About
Jenny Fu is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, specializing in how families and groups engage with emerging technologies. Her work centers on voice user interfaces (VUIs), social robots, and multi-user environments, exploring the nuanced social dynamics that arise when these devices enter our homes. Fu’s most cited paper, “Speed Dating with Voice User Interfaces: Understanding How Families Interact and Perceive Voice User Interfaces in a Group Setting” (2022, 14 citations), is a landmark study that introduced a novel speed-dating methodology to rapidly expose families to multiple VUIs. This work revealed critical insights into how group members negotiate control, form emotional attachments, and perceive devices like Amazon Alexa and social robot Jibo. By highlighting the importance of multi-modal cues and social engagement in shared spaces, Fu’s research directly informs the design of more intuitive, family-friendly technologies. Her contributions are shaping a future where VUIs seamlessly integrate into our collective lives, making her a rising voice in the field of social computing.
