Between Markets And Maritime Might: India’S Engagements In The Indo-Pacific’S Emerging Order, Akriti Khajuria, Arushi Anthal
Between Markets And Maritime Might: India’S Engagements In The Indo-Pacific’S Emerging Order, Akriti Khajuria, Arushi Anthal
Journal of Strategic Security
In the strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific, economic cooperation and security imperatives often converge in complex and sometimes conflicting ways. This strategic region has emerged as a critical arena where global and regional powers alike pursue economic engagement while recalibrating security postures in response to shifting geopolitical currents. Within this dynamic environment, India occupies a pivotal position as an emerging power seeking to reconcile its economic aspirations with evolving security challenges. This article explores how India negotiates the interplay between deepening economic integration, especially with major actors such as China and the US, while maintaining strategic autonomy and sovereignty. Anchored …
Structural Dependency: Nato, Defense Industry Politics, And Europe’S Stagnation, Diane M. Zorri
Structural Dependency: Nato, Defense Industry Politics, And Europe’S Stagnation, Diane M. Zorri
Journal of Strategic Security
Europe’s defense industrial base (DIB) weaknesses are commonly attributed to underinvestment, fragmented policies, or a lack of European cohesiveness. This article advances an alternative explanation: European defense industrial dependency has emerged through institutionalized alliance structures that systematically privileged US capabilities and incentives, becoming self-reinforcing and difficult for European actors to exit, even as their strategic preferences evolved. Drawing on dependency theory, path dependence, and theories of alliance politics, this article argues that transatlantic security arrangements established during the early Cold War, most notably NATO’s integrated command structures, defense procurement norms, and interoperability requirements, have generated long-lasting asymmetries in production, technology, …
Reinterpreting The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam Dispute In The Nile Basin Through The Game Theories Of Attrition And Bargaining, Olileanya Amuche Ezugwu, Felix C. Chidozie, Adeola A. Adebajo
Reinterpreting The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam Dispute In The Nile Basin Through The Game Theories Of Attrition And Bargaining, Olileanya Amuche Ezugwu, Felix C. Chidozie, Adeola A. Adebajo
Journal of Strategic Security
Why have more than a decade of negotiations, mediation efforts, and diplomatic interventions failed to produce a binding agreement on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD)? This article examines the hydro-politics of the Nile Basin through the lens of game theory, focusing on how bargaining behavior, strategic persistence, and competing perceptions of gains and losses shape state interactions. Drawing on the game of attrition and the bargaining game, the study analyzes the evolving strategies of Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan in the context of dam construction, filling, and operation. Rather than viewing the dispute solely as a contest over water allocation, …
Teaching Strategic Intelligence In Political Transition, Henry W. Prunckun
Teaching Strategic Intelligence In Political Transition, Henry W. Prunckun
Journal of Strategic Security
Scholarship on intelligence ethics centers on operations, leaving the ethics of intelligence education and capacity-building under-theorized. This article develops retrospective moral reappraisal (RMR): the delayed moral reclassification of earlier teaching as ethically compromised when political transition and new public knowledge recontextualize what that teaching may have enabled. It argues that RMR is a pathway to moral injury because the injurious event is later learning—not the original classroom act—that one’s contribution is now plausibly implicated in harm. Linking RMR to complicity and enabling under uncertainty, the article clarifies how foreseeability, professional role morality, and leverage shape responsibility without requiring causal certainty …
Using Social Vulnerability And Coastal Flooding Risk To Inform Preparedness Interventions In Hillsborough County, Bessan Abuaish
Using Social Vulnerability And Coastal Flooding Risk To Inform Preparedness Interventions In Hillsborough County, Bessan Abuaish
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
Traditional disaster planning strategies often rely on broad countywide approaches that fail to address neighborhood level needs. Identifying communities with overlapping social vulnerability and physical risks can inform more equitable preparedness interventions. To identify neighborhoods with overlapping social vulnerability and coastal flooding risk in Hillsborough County and inform targeted preparedness interventions for vulnerable populations based on physical and socioeconomic risks, Geographic Information Systems mapping was used to overlay 16 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Social Vulnerability Index indicators with coastal flooding risks to isolate 36 high priority census tracts. Socioeconomic factors, age, limited English proficiency, vehicle access, and housing …
Quantifying Iron Recycling In The Nutrient-Rich North Atlantic Ocean, Adam Jackvony
Quantifying Iron Recycling In The Nutrient-Rich North Atlantic Ocean, Adam Jackvony
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
The North Atlantic is a volatile region with low iron availability, where diatoms make up a majority of the phytoplankton. Due to iron’s low supply and high demand, it is often retained within the system and reused through iron recycling. Iron recycling helps predict fluctuations in diatom biomass, which directly impacts the biological carbon pump, transporting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the deep ocean. Estimating recycling rate allows for comparisons to other regions that have previously been studied creating a better understanding of the ocean-climate system and how different environmental factors influence the climate. Using assumed source water iron …
Determining The Sources Of Aerosols Delivered To The Subtropical North Atlantic Using Stable Isotopes, Khloe E. Coffie, Zach B. Bunnell, Dylan J. Halbeisen, Peter N. Sedwick, Tim M. Conway
Determining The Sources Of Aerosols Delivered To The Subtropical North Atlantic Using Stable Isotopes, Khloe E. Coffie, Zach B. Bunnell, Dylan J. Halbeisen, Peter N. Sedwick, Tim M. Conway
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
Deposition of atmospheric aerosols is a major source of bioavailable trace metals such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) to surface waters. Such aerosol deposition occurs through two modes: (1) dry deposition, or the settling of dry aerosol matter onto the open ocean, and (2) wet deposition, the delivery of solubilized aerosols during rain events. Although the effect of dry deposition on trace metal delivery to the oceans is reasonably well-studied, the influence of wet deposition remains extremely understudied. Here, we present the first dissolved Fe (δ56Fe), Zn (δ66Zn, and Cd (δ114Cd) isotopic compositions ever measured in rainwater. …
Abundance Of Free-Living Cyanobacterial Nitrogen Fixers On The West Florida Shelf, Ashley S. Gielazyn, Emma Graves, Christa Baranowski, Dreux Chappell, Kristen Buck, Salvatore Caprara
Abundance Of Free-Living Cyanobacterial Nitrogen Fixers On The West Florida Shelf, Ashley S. Gielazyn, Emma Graves, Christa Baranowski, Dreux Chappell, Kristen Buck, Salvatore Caprara
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
Trichodesmium is a free-living, marine cyanobacterium that acts as a biological nitrogen fixer, capable of using typically unavailable dissolved nitrogen gas. It is responsible for producing up to half of the usable nitrogen that is necessary for the survival of marine organisms and environments. Researching the abundance of different nitrogen-fixing species allows for a greater understanding of the importance of nitrogen fixation in certain environments. Specifically on the West Florida Shelf (WFS), where nutrient levels are low, it is hypothesized that nitrogen fixers support a significant portion of primary productivity. This study used qPCR of the rnpB housekeeping gene to …
Exploring Abundance Of Symbiotic Cyanobacteria Nitrogen Fixers On The West Florida Shelf, Julia Kiplinger
Exploring Abundance Of Symbiotic Cyanobacteria Nitrogen Fixers On The West Florida Shelf, Julia Kiplinger
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
Nitrogen is unusable by most organisms but is an essential nutrient for building life. Nitrogen fixers in the ocean, also known as diazotrophs, can produce bioavailable forms of nitrogen for other organisms to use from dissolved nitrogen gas. The West Florida Shelf is of particular interest for research on nitrogen fixers because it is generally oligotrophic, yet diazotrophic activity is hypothesized to increase regional productivity. Our understanding of the distributions of cyanobacterial nitrogen fixers is limited, and broadening this knowledge can inform other decisions and research on ocean health or productivity. This study advances understanding of the abundance of symbiotic …
A Mobile Ai Conversational Platform For Supporting Autism Assessment In Children, Ruoyu Wang
A Mobile Ai Conversational Platform For Supporting Autism Assessment In Children, Ruoyu Wang
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
Early identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains challenging because many clinically relevant social, emotional, and communication behaviors are difficult to capture during brief clinical encounters. Young children may have limited attention spans, communicate differently with unfamiliar adults, struggle to express thoughts and emotions, or behave differently in clinical settings than in everyday environments. Consequently, clinicians often rely on brief observations and caregiver reports, which may not fully represent children’s typical communication behaviors. This study introduces an AI-powered conversational application for smartphones that supports longitudinal collection of naturalistic communication data from children. The application engages children in age-appropriate, play-based conversations …
Temporal Graph Networks With Dynamic Mode Decomposition For Iomt Threat And Risk Detection, Thinh Pham
Temporal Graph Networks With Dynamic Mode Decomposition For Iomt Threat And Risk Detection, Thinh Pham
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
The growing use of interconnected medical devices expands the attack surface of healthcare networks and creates the possibility that a compromise affecting one device, gateway, or communication channel may propagate through connected systems, producing cascading operational and patient-safety consequences. This research investigates whether temporal graph learning can improve intrusion detection and dynamic cyber-risk assessment in Internet of Medical Things networks. A Temporal Graph Network represents network flows as time-ordered interactions between communicating devices, uses each interaction to update their evolving behavioral profiles. The model jointly supports attack-type classification, anomaly detection, and dynamic risk scoring. The design also explores Dynamic Mode …

Digitizing An Assessment Protocol To Screen Bilingual Children For Developmental Language Disorder Risk, Ava De La Cruz, Anna Soares M.S., M. Adelaida Restrepo Phd
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
By integrating technology into assessment protocols, administration becomes more streamlined and scores become quicker to calculate. It opens doors for portable evaluations and data, efficient result analysis, and easily searchable records. To take advantage of these benefits, this project developed a digital version of the form used in the Spanish Screener for Language Impairment in Children (SSLIC). SSLIC screens Spanish-English bilingual children for the risk of DLD, utilizing subtests focused on morphology, sentence repetition, and other language-specific measures. Through the survey and database management tool REDCap, each section of SSLIC’s protocol was converted into a digital survey for researchers to …
Beyond Financial Incentives: Barriers That Deter Homeowners From Conserving Imperative Water Infrastructure, Bryan Voliton, Kate Zoltak, Ryan Fugit
Beyond Financial Incentives: Barriers That Deter Homeowners From Conserving Imperative Water Infrastructure, Bryan Voliton, Kate Zoltak, Ryan Fugit
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
Stalling on sewer inspections is costing homeowners more money and potential health issues down the road. Homeowners play a critical role in the health of local water infrastructure. While it is the local government’s job to oversee that water infrastructure is being maintained, it is the homeowners’ responsibility to ensure the functionality of the private sewer lateral (PSL); the pipe that runs beneath their home and connects to a public sewer main. Immense damage to the home, the homeowner’s wallet, and the environment can result from the impairment of this private line. Previous studies by Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) …
Comparing Satellite Gravity Estimates Of The Labrador Current To Mooring Observations, Calvin G. Rose, Jennifer Bonin
Comparing Satellite Gravity Estimates Of The Labrador Current To Mooring Observations, Calvin G. Rose, Jennifer Bonin
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
The Labrador Current is an important component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and is the primary pathway for deep water transport from the sub polar North Atlantic southward. Understanding the strength of the Labrador Current and its variability can help to better estimate the potential decline of this crucial current system. A previous study (Meyer & Chambers, 2025) used satellite gravity measurements from the GRACE and GRACE Follow-on missions (GRACE/ FO) to approximate Labrador Current variability and demonstrated reasonable monthly values with transport calculated at a mooring array at 53°N. This study adds to that previous study by …
Open-Source Software For Computing Code Automorphisms, Mateo Fernandez-Tyson, Gianna Baker
Open-Source Software For Computing Code Automorphisms, Mateo Fernandez-Tyson, Gianna Baker
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
An error-correcting code is a mathematical structure that models the flow of information through a noisy communication channel and seeks to mitigate errors through redundancy. These codes have a wide range of uses spanning from satellite transmissions to cryptographically secure communication schemes. An automorphism of a code is a permutation of the coordinate positions that preserves the code, and these symmetries are useful in helping to answer questions of code equivalence, classification, and decoding. Our work focuses on implementing and testing algorithms for code automorphism computation using GAP and the GUAVA package. We present an efficient algorithm for generating all …
Storm Surge Compounded With Heat Waves In Tampa Bay, Emma Burke, Ogugua Onochie, Sidharth Sudheer, Alejandra R. Enriquez
Storm Surge Compounded With Heat Waves In Tampa Bay, Emma Burke, Ogugua Onochie, Sidharth Sudheer, Alejandra R. Enriquez
OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium
Coastal communities like Tampa Bay, Florida, are exposed to multiple natural hazards, including extreme high temperatures and hurricane-related impacts such as wind, storm surge, and precipitation. The seasonality of hurricanes and high temperatures increase the chances of compound flooding-heat events, which can produce greater impacts than either hazard alone. In the future, rising global temperatures and sea levels will further increase the likelihood of these flooding-heat compound events. Nature-based solutions can help reduce the impact of these two hazards, as green spaces lower temperatures, increase infiltration rates, and enhance surface friction, effectively reducing flood propagation and depth. Here, we investigate …
Conserving Seabirds: Actions Of The Pacific Seabird Group During Its First 40 Years., Craig S. Harrison
Conserving Seabirds: Actions Of The Pacific Seabird Group During Its First 40 Years., Craig S. Harrison
Marine Ornithology
The Pacific Seabird Group (PSG), founded in 1972, is “dedicated to the study and conservation of Pacific seabirds and their environment.” During its first 40 years, PSG undertook scores of conservation actions, although as an all-volunteer organization, PSG lacked the capacity to implement many programs or projects. It achieved its conservation goals through leadership, raising issues, bringing the best science to decision makers, and serving as a catalyst for others to act. PSG has been especially influential in six areas: (1) eradicating invasive alien animals from seabird colonies; (2) conserving Marbled Murrelets Brachyramphus marmoratus; (3) protecting seabird colonies in …
Comparing Counts Made From Drone-Based And Boat-Based Photography For Surveying Thick-Billed Murre Uria Lomvia Cliff Colonies., Ewan Macdonnell, Sarah E. Gutowsky, Kyle H. Elliott
Comparing Counts Made From Drone-Based And Boat-Based Photography For Surveying Thick-Billed Murre Uria Lomvia Cliff Colonies., Ewan Macdonnell, Sarah E. Gutowsky, Kyle H. Elliott
Marine Ornithology
Surveys of cliff-nesting seabirds from sea level or ground level often miss individuals hidden by topography, leading to underestimates of abundance. Thick-billed Murres Uria lomvia are especially challenging to survey accurately due to their dense nesting on vertical cliff ledges in remote northern regions. In Canada, updated colony surveys are needed, as currently used population estimates, done from boats, are outdated. Drones offer better vantage points and may reduce availability bias (i.e., the proportion of birds present but not visible), but direct comparisons with boat-based counts are essential. We compared murre counts from drone- and boat-based photographs of six vertical …

Foraging Areas Of Breeding Adult Sooty Terns Onychoprion Fuscatus On Bird Island, Seychelles., Jessica L. Neumann, Ruth E. Dunn, Malcolm A. C. Nicoll, Christine S. Larose, Chris Foster, Gary Brodin, Chris J. Feare
Marine Ornithology
The foraging areas used by adult Sooty Terns Onychoprion fuscatus during incubation and early chick-rearing on Bird Island, Seychelles, were investigated using small GPS loggers. Birds departed the colony mainly during the night and foraged by day. Most foraging trips were completed within 24 hr, but during incubation the longest duration recorded was seven days and 14 hr (during which the bird travelled 2,783 km and reached a maximum of 692 km from the colony). Departures were generally in an arc from south (180°) through westerly to 40°. Sooty Terns foraged frequently in waters over the Seychelles Bank shelf break, …
Tasmanian Records Of Vagrant Penguins, 1991–2025., Eric J. Woehler
Tasmanian Records Of Vagrant Penguins, 1991–2025., Eric J. Woehler
Marine Ornithology
During the period 01 January 1991 to 31 August 2025, there were 274 records of vagrant penguins in Tasmania. These records represented three genera: Aptenodytes, Pygoscelis, and Eudyptes. The most frequently reported species were Fiordland Penguin E. pachyrhynchus, Royal Penguin E. schlegeli, and King Penguin A. patagonicus. High numbers of records were reported from 10 years, with a peak in 1999 and a lower peak in 2023. Records from January to March accounted for approximately 42% of all vagrant penguin occurrences and corresponded with the arrival of pre-moult birds of all ages. A range …
Satellite Tracking Of Galapagos Petrel Pterodroma Phaeopygia Reveals Distribution And Movements During Chick Rearing., Carolina B. Proaño, Sebastian M. Cruz, Josh Adams, Martin Wikelski
Satellite Tracking Of Galapagos Petrel Pterodroma Phaeopygia Reveals Distribution And Movements During Chick Rearing., Carolina B. Proaño, Sebastian M. Cruz, Josh Adams, Martin Wikelski
Marine Ornithology
We tracked 19 adult Galapagos Petrels Pterodroma phaeopygia during the chick-rearing seasons in 2009 and 2010 (Santa Cruz Island [n = 16] and Floreana Island [n = 3]) in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. Eight petrels performed 27 complete foraging trips lasting 0.6 to 18.8 days. Short trips (3.2 ± 2.1 days; 785 km; max displacement 671 km) and long trips (10.8 ± 3.9 days; 2,856 km; max displacement 1,034 km) resulted in concentrated use of waters off southern and western Isabela Island and within the Galápagos Marine Reserve (GMR). Less concentrated time extended farther southwest and eastward, in …

Important Bird Area Ant 110 Muskegbukta, Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica: A Case Study., Barbara Wienecke
Important Bird Area Ant 110 Muskegbukta, Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica: A Case Study., Barbara Wienecke
Marine Ornithology
The nomination of Important Bird Areas (IBAs) is a useful approach to determine where valuable biodiversity areas occur. In Antarctica, 204 areas have been designated as IBAs, 34 of which contain Emperor Penguin Aptenodytes forsteri colonies. The dynamic nature of the Antarctic environment presents challenges to IBA nominations, particularly for a species such as the Emperor Penguin, whose colonies can shift markedly in location across years. This paper uses IBA ANT 110 Muskegbukta as a case study to explore how changes in local and regional fast ice conditions result in relocation of a colony beyond the nominated IBA boundary. Because …
Summit Report: Nuclear Deterrence In An Uncertain World, Manolis Priniotakis
Summit Report: Nuclear Deterrence In An Uncertain World, Manolis Priniotakis
GNSI Summit Reports
The Global and National Security Institute’s Tampa Summit 6 took place on March 24-25, 2026, and examined a nuclear weapons environment marked by renewed uncertainty, weakened institutions, and rapid strategic change. General (Ret.) Frank McKenzie’s opening keynote framed the central challenge: The nuclear age never ended, but the United States and its allies spent much of the post-Cold War period looking away at other threats while Russia, China, North Korea, and others adapted. The world is now moving from the longstanding and relatively stable “two-body” nuclear order centered on the United States and Russia toward a far more complex “three-body” …
Genocide In Gaza? Social Media Discussions Of Violence In Israel And Gaza, Timothy Williams, Andreas Dafnos
Genocide In Gaza? Social Media Discussions Of Violence In Israel And Gaza, Timothy Williams, Andreas Dafnos
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
This article conducts social network and topic analyses of German-language posts on X that discuss genocide and terrorism in Israel and Gaza in the first six months after the October 7 attacks and compares these to broader English-language discourses on the platform. The comparison reveals subtle differences in how Israeli violence and governance and Palestinians are discussed and who is seen as complicit in supporting violence. Markedly, German-language posts discuss what constitutes antisemitism more and employ a more restrained language towards Israel as a state and its political actors than English-language posts. We tie these findings back to the idiosyncrasies …
Genocidal Occupation And The Occupier’S Dilemma: From Lemkin’S Axis Rule To 21st Century Palestine, Martin Shaw
Genocidal Occupation And The Occupier’S Dilemma: From Lemkin’S Axis Rule To 21st Century Palestine, Martin Shaw
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
Following Israel’s campaign in Gaza after October 7, 2023, which was widely recognized as a genocide, the “ceasefire” of late 2025 introduced the prospect of a new occupation of the territory by the USA and Israel, leading to its redevelopment by them rather than the restoration of the pre-2023 Palestinian society. Together with the parallel accentuation of Palestinian dispossession under Israeli occupation in the West Bank, this development calls for a theorization of the relationship between occupation and genocide. Yet, although the concept of genocide was introduced by Raphael Lemkin in his analysis of the German occupations of European countries, …
U.S. Public Opinion During The Rwandan Genocide And The Power Of Executive Detachment, Carly Schmitt, Matthew L. Bergbower
U.S. Public Opinion During The Rwandan Genocide And The Power Of Executive Detachment, Carly Schmitt, Matthew L. Bergbower
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
We examine U.S. public opinion during the Rwandan genocide in the spring and early summer of 1994. Drawing on more than a dozen public opinion polls fielded during this period, we analyze Americans’ levels of knowledge about the violence in Rwanda, their views on United Nations involvement, support for U.S. military intervention, and evaluations of President Bill Clinton’s handling of the crisis. Longstanding theory recognizes public opinion as an important variable in explaining foreign policy choices during international crises. In the case of U.S. policy toward the Rwandan genocide, our analysis reveals widespread public unfamiliarity with a distant African conflict …

Deutsche Musik: Exploring German Identity Through Music, Selah A. Thompson
OneUSF Undergraduate Research Conference
While Germany is recognized as the fourth-largest music market in the world,music has a complex role within the construction of German national andcultural identity. Tracing musical history back to the 12th century with theMinnesinger, to the great classical composers like Bach and Beethoven andinto the 20th and 21st centuries with German heavy metal groups like theScorpions, Germany's historical roots are heavily intertwined with music.Many historical events in Germany have featured music as a prominentcatalyst, such as the Swing counterculture during the Nazi regime to theresilience of the East German pop scene. This study traces the complex andrich history of music …
How Do Different Receptor Targets In Glioblastoma Differentially Shape The Tumor Microenvironment And Influence Tumor Progression And Therapeutic Response?, Vedant A. Patel, Rohit V. Borra, Andrew P. Thomas, Emily Berger
How Do Different Receptor Targets In Glioblastoma Differentially Shape The Tumor Microenvironment And Influence Tumor Progression And Therapeutic Response?, Vedant A. Patel, Rohit V. Borra, Andrew P. Thomas, Emily Berger
OneUSF Undergraduate Research Conference
Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive brain tumors, with a median survival of approximately 15 months despite treatment and a recurrence rate near 90%. Therapeutic failure is largely driven by an immunosuppressive and therapy-resistant tumor microenvironment (TME). GBM progression depends on dysregulated receptor-mediated signaling pathways that regulate angiogenesis, immune evasion, stemness, metabolic adaptation, and phenotypic transition. Although targeting individual receptors has been explored, outcomes remain limited. This literature review evaluates how targeting receptor-mediated pathways—including neuromodulatory targets such as mGluR3—affects the TME and therapeutic response. It also compares the effectiveness of single versus multi-receptor targeting strategies. A PubMed search …
Leveraging Computer Vision-Based Hand Tracking In Smartphone Xr Exposure Scenarios To Enable Controller-Free Interaction, Alex C. Lim, Trang Nguyen
Leveraging Computer Vision-Based Hand Tracking In Smartphone Xr Exposure Scenarios To Enable Controller-Free Interaction, Alex C. Lim, Trang Nguyen
OneUSF Undergraduate Research Conference
Extended reality (XR) has emerged as an effective and convenient solution for broadening accessibility to exposure therapy. Smartphone-based XR, though cost-effective, is often constrained by limited interactivity, engendering a passive experience that can compromise the user-immersion and treatment efficacy. To address this limitation, this study presents a novel computer vision–based hand-tracking approach using Google MediaPipe, integrated within a stereoscopic smartphone-based XR system to enable real-time, controller-free interaction in a dog-fetch scenario. Hand landmark coordinates derived from MediaPipe are algorithmically adjusted based on changes in inter-knuckle distances during anterior/posterior movement to approximate depth, at which point interactive spheres are overlayed to …
