CHI '26Best PaperFitness Tracking & Physical Activity Monitoring +2

When Workout Buddies Are Virtual: AI Agents and Human Peers in a Longitudinal Physical Activity Study

Physical inactivity remains a critical global health issue, yet scalable strategies for sustained motivation are scarce. Conversational agents designed as simulated exercising peers (SEPs) represent a promising alternative, but their long-term impact is unclear. We report a six-month randomized controlled trial (N=280…

Designing a Data-Driven Survey System: Leveraging Participants' Online Data to Personalize Surveys

User surveys are essential to user-centered research in many fields, including human-computer interaction (HCI). Survey personalization—specifically, adapting questionnaires to the respondents' profiles and experiences—can improve reliability and quality of responses. However, popular survey platforms lack usable mech…

CHI '23Best PaperResearch Ethics & Open Science

Changes in Research Ethics, Openness, and Transparency in Empirical Studies between CHI 2017 and CHI 2022

In recent years, various initiatives from within and outside the HCI field have encouraged researchers to improve research ethics, openness, and transparency in their empirical research. We quantify how the CHI literature might have changed in these three aspects by analyzing samples of 118 CHI 2017 and 127 CHI 2022 p…

Rethinking the Role of AI with Physicians in Oncology: Revealing Perspectives from Clinical and Research Workflows

Significant and rapid advancements in cancer research have been attributed to Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, AI's role and impact on the clinical side has been limited. This discrepancy manifests due to the overlooked, yet profound, differences in the clinical and research practices in oncology. Our contributi…

CHI '22AI Ethics, Fairness & Accountability +2

AI Beyond Deus ex Machina - Reimagining Intelligence in Future Cities with Urban Experts

The current mechanisms that drive the development of AI technologies are widely criticized for being tech-oriented and market-led instead of stemming from societal challenges. In Human-Centered AI discourses, and more broadly in Human-Computer Interaction research, initiatives have been proposed to engage experts from…

AUTO_UI '19Head-Up Display (HUD) & Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) +1

Owner Manuals Review and Taxonomy of ADAS Limitations in Partially Automated Vehicles

In the context of highly automated driving, the driver has to be aware of driving risks and to take over control of the car in hazardous situations. The goal of this paper is to categorize and analyze the factors that lead to such critical scenarios. To this purpose, we analyzed limitations of Advanced Driver-Assistan…

CHI '18Honorable MentionSustainable HCI +2

The Hide and Seek of Workspace: Towards Human-Centric Sustainable Architecture

This contribution exemplifies how the study of space perception and its impact on space-use behavior can inform sustainable architecture. We describe our attempt to integrate the methods of user research in an architectural project that was focused on optimization of space usage. In an office building, two large o…
