CHI '26Visual Impairment Technologies (Screen Readers, Tactile Graphics, Braille) +2

I-VAMOS: Independent Voting with Accessible Multimodal Offline System for Visually Impaired Users

Independent and secret voting is a constitutional right, yet blind and low-vision voters (BLVs) continue to face barriers when casting their votes. Existing methods such as tactile templates often require braille literacy or assistance, while electronic ballot-marking devices raise cost and security concerns. We prese…

CHI '26Best PaperDeaf & Hard-of-Hearing Support (Captions, Sign Language, Vibration) +1

µCap: Instrumental Music Captions for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals

Instrumental music conveys rich affective experiences through acoustic cues, yet instrumental passages often remain inaccessible to Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) audiences. Although captioning practices for vocal songs have expanded, instrumental music remains largely uncaptioned, with no established criteria for rep…

CHI '26Force Feedback & Pseudo-Haptic Weight +2

When Fingers Become Tools: Rendering Virtual Tool Inertia with a Finger-Mounted Extending Rod

We present the Finger-Mounted Extending Rod, a wearable device that transforms fingers into virtual tools by modulating fingertip mass distribution. We employ linear actuators on fingers that extend or retract metal rods according to their poses, generating rotational inertia while redirecting the hand to natural grip…

CHI '26Desktop 3D Printing & Personal Fabrication +2

VisiPrint: Previewing 3D-Print Appearance from Real Material Samples

We present VisiPrint, a tool for appearance-first previews of 3D-printed objects. Existing print preview slicers focus on toolpaths, not appearance, while pure rendering software is complex and cannot automatically reproduce slicing patterns. Prior work highlights persistent gaps between digital previews and printed r…

PREFAB: PREFerence-based Affective Modeling for Low-Budget Self-Annotation

Self-annotation is the gold standard for collecting affective state labels in affective computing. Existing methods typically rely on full annotation, requiring users to continuously label affective states across entire sessions. While this process yields fine-grained data, it is time-consuming, cognitively demanding,…

CHI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +3

From Daily Song to Daily Self: Supporting Emotional Growth of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals through Generative AI Songwriting

The rapid advancement of generative AI (GenAI) is expanding access to songwriting, offering a new medium of self-expression for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) individuals. However, emerging technologies that support DHH individuals in expressing themselves through music have largely been evaluated in single-session se…

CHI '26Eye Tracking & Gaze Interaction +3

Understanding Gaze-Based Identification in VR Through Preattentive Processing and Binocular Rivalry

Stimulus-evoked gaze dynamics offer a secure and hands-free signal in virtual reality (VR), yet the underlying design space of effective visual stimuli remains poorly understood. This work examines how preattentive processing and binocular rivalry can inform stimulus design for gaze-based identification in VR. We cond…

From Disruption to Immersion: Reimagining Vehicle Motion as Environmental Feedback through Force Mappings in In-Car VR

This study investigates how vehicle motion can be reinterpreted as perceptually coherent multisensory feedback for in-car VR applications, expanding beyond traditional motion-based experiences. We introduce the concept of force mappings, a design space that translates vehicle-induced physical forces such as from accel…

CHI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +3

Designing a Generative AI-Assisted Music Psychotherapy Tool for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals

Songwriting has long served as a powerful medium for expressing unconscious emotions and fostering self-awareness in psychotherapy. Due to the auditory-centric nature of traditional approaches, Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) individuals have often been excluded from music’s therapeutic benefits. In response, this stud…

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

HumanoidTurk: Expanding VR Haptics with Humanoids for Driving Simulations

We explore how humanoid robots can be repurposed as haptic media, extending beyond their conventional role as social, assistive, collaborative agents. To illustrate this approach, we implemented HumanoidTurk, taking a first step toward a humanoid-based haptic system that translates in-game g-force signals into synchro…
