CHI '26One-Handed Operation & Mobile Gestures +1

Understanding How Mobile Interactions Shape Grasp and Contact Patterns Beyond the Touchscreen

The way users hold a smartphone depends on the interaction task, yet little is known about the fingers' engagement with the device's surfaces beyond the touchscreen. Such an understanding not only opens up opportunities for novel on- and off-screen interactions, but also the device’s possible physical affordances. We…

Do You (Dis)agree With Me? Modelling Implicit User Disagreement in Human–AI Interaction Using Gaze Data

The widespread use of generative AI has led to increased focus on human–AI interaction. However, AI systems can generate unexpected outputs, leading to disagreement or human–AI conflict. This paper focuses on modelling user disagreement using machine learning (ML) by observing users' implicit viewing behaviour. We con…

AttentiveLearn: Personalized Post-Lecture Support for Gaze-Aware Immersive Learning

Immersive learning environments such as virtual classrooms in Virtual Reality (VR) offer learners unique learning experiences, yet providing effective learner support remains a challenge. While prior HCI research has explored in-lecture support for immersive learning, little research has been conducted to provide post…

CoEmpaTeam: Enhancing Cognitive Empathy using LLM-based Avatars and Dynamic Role Play in Virtual Reality

Cognitive empathy, the ability to understand others‘ perspectives, is essential for effective communication, reducing biases, and constructive negotiation. However, this skill is declining in a performance-driven society, which prioritizes efficiency over perspective-taking. Here, the training of cognitive empathy is…

Determining Perception Thresholds for Real and Virtual Inclinations While Cycling in Virtual Reality

In virtual reality (VR) experiences, mismatches between reality and virtuality are usually undesirable, as they can disrupt immersion and induce cybersickness. However, when carefully controlled, they may expand the design space of VR. This research investigates perceptual detection thresholds for mismatches between r…

CHI '26Context-Aware Computing +2

Privacy & Safety Challenges of On-Body Interaction Techniques

On-body computing systems offer new forms of interaction, but while they are increasingly integrated into everyday contexts, their unique privacy and safety challenges remain understudied. This paper examines these challenges through a two-round interview study with $N = 15$ experts in human-computer interaction, an…

CHI '26Surgical Assistance & Medical Training +2

Same Patient, Same Space, Divergent Needs: Revealing Gaps and Design Opportunities in Surgeon–Anesthesiologist Collaboration

Effective communication and teamwork are vital in high-stakes environments such as the operating room, where timely and accurate information exchange directly affects patient safety and surgical outcomes. Among intraoperative interactions, the collaboration between the surgeon and anesthesiologist is especially critic…

CHI '26In-Vehicle Haptic, Audio & Multimodal Feedback +2

Connected Material Experiences using Bimanual Vibrotactile Crosstalk in Virtual Reality

Perceiving material properties such as elasticity, flexibility, and torsion is inherently bimanual, as we rely on the relative motion of our hands to form a unified sense of materiality. Yet, most vibrotactile material rendering approaches are limited to a single hand or finger. While prior work has explored bimanual…

ChairPose: Pressure-based Chair Morphology Grounded Sitting Pose Estimation through Simulation-Assisted Training

Prolonged seated activity is increasingly common in modern environments, raising concerns around musculoskeletal health, ergonomics, and the design of responsive interactive systems. Existing posture sensing methods such as vision-based or wearable approaches face limitations including occlusion, privacy concerns, use…

UIST '25Haptic Wearables +1

Delusionized? Potential Harms of Proprioceptive Manipulations through Hand Redirection in Virtual Reality

To enhance interactions in VR, hand redirection (HR)-based illusion techniques apply offsets between the virtual and real-world position of users’ hands. While adaptation to such HR offsets is recognized, their impact on proprioception accuracy remains unexplored. However, deploying HR without understanding its potent…
