About
Hamish Stening is a researcher at the intersection of Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) and Conversational User Interfaces (CUI), with a primary focus on designing collaborative conversational agents for team-based training in virtual environments. His most notable contribution is the development of DesertWoZ, a pioneering Wizard of Oz (WoZ) environment that enables researchers to prototype and study collaborative conversational agents without requiring fully functional AI systems. This work, published in 2022 and garnering 5 citations, addresses a critical gap in the nascent field of team-based agent interaction, providing a robust platform for iterative design and empirical investigation. Stening’s research advances understanding of how conversational agents can facilitate group dynamics, coordination, and communication in immersive settings. His contributions are particularly significant for the CSCW and CUI communities, offering a methodological tool that lowers the barrier to entry for studying complex human-agent collaboration. By enabling controlled experiments in virtual environments, Stening’s work lays the groundwork for future innovations in training, education, and collaborative work supported by intelligent agents.
