CHI '26Agent Personality & Anthropomorphism +2

Toward Natural and Companionable Virtual Agents via Cross-Temporal Emotional Modeling

Recent advances in foundation models have enabled conversational agents that aim for sustained companionship rather than mere task completion. Yet most still remain unable to support natural, long-term companion-like interactions, resulting in experiences that feel episodic and inauthentic. We argue that current agen…

Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Programming Challenges in Educational Games: How they shape Children’s Computational Thinking, Learning Drive, and Game Engagement

Educational programming games (EPGs) build computational thinking (CT), a vital 21st-century skill. A core design challenge is how pedagogical and gameplay challenges are integrated to balance educational objectives with player engagement. This study formalizes two contrasting challenge design patterns that reflect di…

FAIR: Framing AI’s Role in Programming Competitions — Understanding How LLMs Are Changing the Game in Competitive Programming

This paper investigates how large language models (LLMs) are reshaping competitive programming. The field functions as an intellectual contest within computer science education and is marked by rapid iteration, real-time feedback, transparent solutions, and strict integrity norms. Prior work has evaluated LLMs perform…

"I recall the past": Exploring How People Collaborate with Generative AI to Create Cultural Heritage Narratives

Visitors to cultural heritage sites often encounter official information, while local people's unofficial stories remain invisible. To explore generative AI's potential in assisting individuals to access local narratives, we conducted a workshop with 20 participants, asking them to use Stable Diffusion to create image…

CHI '25Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +2

From Words to Wonder: Designing and Evaluating an AI-Empowered Creative Storytelling System for Elementary Children

While several digital tools exist for children’s creative storytelling, few have explored how generative AI can enhance storytelling quality. Our formative research identified five design requirements for AI-powered storytelling tools for elementary students. We developed a system named StoryPrompt that enables childr…

CHI '25Accessible Gaming +1

How Users Who are Blind or Low Vision Play Mobile Games: Perceptions, Challenges, and Strategies

As blind and low-vision (BLV) players engage more deeply with games, accessibility features have become essential. While some research has explored tools and strategies to enhance game accessibility, the specific experiences of these players with mobile games remain underexamined. This study addresses this gap by inve…

CHI '25Mixed Reality Workspaces +1

RemapVR: An Immersive Authoring Tool for Rapid Prototyping of Remapped Interaction in VR

Remapping techniques in VR such as repositioning, redirection, and resizing have been extensively studied. Still, interaction designers rarely have the opportunity to use them due to high technical and knowledge barriers. In the paper, we extract common features of 24 existing remapping techniques and develop a high-f…

CHI '24Shape-Changing Interfaces & Soft Robotic Materials +1

Learning from Hybrid Craft: Investigating and Reflecting on Innovating and Enlivening Traditional Craft through Literature Review

The key to preserving traditional crafts lies in living transmission, which is inseparable from sustaining artistic production, audience consumption, and progressive innovation with the physical media. As HCI researchers, we focus on the hybrid crafts field, which involves numerous cross-disciplinary integration cases…

CHI '24Social & Collaborative VR +1

Exploring Experience Gaps Between Active and Passive Users During Multi-user Locomotion in VR

Multi-user locomotion in VR has grown increasingly common, posing numerous challenges. A key factor contributing to these challenges is the gaps in experience between active and passive users during co-locomotion. Yet, there remains a limited understanding of how and to what extent these experiential gaps manifest in…
