Beyond the Frame: Engineering Human-AI Interaction

Master's Thesis — ongoing

If AI works best when embedded, the next question is whether it needs to be invoked at all. This thesis proposes a system that infers user intent from OS-level signals (eg. clipboard events, dwell patterns, application switching, document metadata) and surfaces contextually appropriate AI affordances before the user articulates a need.

When delay affects something that matters, drivers reach for their phone — not the car. Current in-car systems show route and ETA, but offer no support for the consequence of being late.

Grounded in five contextual interviews, this project explores how an in-car AI can use situational awareness to support drivers during time-critical journeys, without increasing distraction or breaking mental flow. Built as an interactive HMI simulation with scenario-based triggers.

The Figma for your real running app and codebase. Click anything, see where its style comes from, and tweak it straight into your source code.

It's built as a protocol, not a plugin, so the same core works across React, Flutter, and plain HTML/CSS — and on your existing projects, not just ones made for it. It can even prep a codebase to work with it by handing your own AI coding agent the context to clean things up.

Vest never re-renders the app — it just watches, which is what makes it work anywhere.
