Discussing Social Media During Psychotherapy Consultations: Patient Narratives and Privacy Implications

Social media platforms are being utilized by individuals with mental illness for engaging in self-disclosure, finding support, or navigating treatment journeys. Individuals also increasingly bring their social media data to psychotherapy consultations. This emerging practice during psychotherapy can help us to better…

Functional Destruction: Utilizing sustainable materials' physical transiency for electronics applications

Today's electronics are manufactured to provide stable functionality and fixed physical forms optimized for reliable operation over long periods and repeated use. However, even when applications don't call for such robustness, the permanency of these electronics comes with environmental consequences. In this paper, we…

MARS: Nano-Power Battery-free Wireless Interface for Touch, Swipe and Speech Input

Augmenting everyday surfaces with interaction sensing capability that is maintenance-free, low-cost (∼ $1), and in an appropriate form factor is a challenge with current technologies. MARS (Multi-channel Ambiently-powered Realtime Sensing) enables battery-free sensing and wireless communication of touch, swipe, and sp…

Bit Whisperer: Enabling Ad-hoc, Short-range, Walk-Up-and-Share Data Transmissions via Surface-restricted Acoustics

Bluetooth requires device pairing to ensure security in data transmission, encumbering a number of ad-hoc, transactional interactions that require both ease-of-use and ``good enough'' security: e.g., sharing contact information or secure links to people nearby. We introduce Bit Whisperer, an ad-hoc short-range wirele…

Spidey Sense: Designing Wrist-Mounted Affective Haptics for Communicating Cybersecurity Warnings

Improving end-users' awareness of cybersecurity warnings (e.g., phishing and malware alerts) remains a longstanding problem in usable security. Prior work suggests two key weaknesses with existing warnings: they are primarily communicated via saturated communication channels (e.g., visual, auditory, and vibrotactile);…

Cultural Clash: Exploring How Studio-Based Pedagogy Impacts Learning for Students in HCI Classrooms

A number of computing departments have adapted studio-based pedagogy for teaching Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to help students develop creative design skills. These efforts have shown promise, however, some challenges that emerge when integrating studio-based pedagogy into computing programs have been neglected b…

Modeling Organizational Culture with Workplace Experiences Shared on Glassdoor

Organizational culture (OC) encompasses the underlying beliefs, values, and practices that are unique to an organization. However, OC is inherently subjective and a coarse construct, and therefore challenging to quantify. Alternatively, self-initiated workplace reviews on online platforms like Glassdoor provide the op…

Serpentine: A Self-Powered Reversibly Deformable Cord Sensor for Human Input

We introduce Serpentine, a self-powered sensor that is a reversibly deformable cord capable of sensing a variety of human input. The material properties and structural design of Serpentine allow it to be flexible, twistable, stretchable and squeezable, enabling a broad variety of expressive input modalities. The senso…

Birds of a Feather Clock Together: A Study of Person-Organization Fit Through Latent Activity Routines

Organizations often strive to recruit and retain individuals who would be a "good fit" with their core values, beliefs and practices. Person–Organization (P–O congruence is known to explain employee satisfaction, commitment and absenteeism. This paper proposes a new measure of P–O fit by empirically investigating t…

FingerPing: Recognizing Fine-grained Hand Poses using Active Acoustic On-body Sensing

FingerPing is a novel sensing technique that can recognize various fine-grained hand poses by analyzing acoustic resonance features. A surface-transducer mounted on a thumb ring injects acoustic chirps (20Hz to 6,000Hz) to the body. Four receivers distributed on the wrist and thumb collect the chirps. Different hand…
