Invisible Users in Digital Health: A Scoping Review of Digital Interventions to Promote Physical Activity Among CALD Women

Digital health has strong potential for promoting physical activity (PA), yet interventions often fail to sustain engagement among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women. Prior reviews focus on short-term efficacy or surface-level localisation, while a design-oriented synthesis of deep cultural adaptation…

“Capture Your Experience at This Moment”: Collecting Concurrent User Experience Data in Immersive Virtual Environment

Environmental User Experience (UX) data collection is essential for user research, enabling evidence-based design decisions. However, traditional retrospective methods like micro-phenomenological interviews suffer from recall inaccuracies and memory distortions. Concurrent UX data collection methods with environmental…

Obscuring Undesirable Individuals to Alleviate Social Discomfort Using Diminished Reality

In interpersonal interactions, individuals often exhibit avoidance behaviors toward others they find unpleasant, which can undermine the comfort of everyday social experiences. Existing human-computer interaction (HCI) research has primarily focused on promoting social connections, while support for avoidance-oriented…

From Expectation to Evaluation: Expectation Cues Systematically Bias LLM and Human Judgment

Expectation cues such as source labels, expertise signals, or identity-based indicators can bias how humans interpret and evaluate information. In high-stakes domains like healthcare, education, and law, such biases threaten the objectivity of decision-making. As LLMs increasingly provide decision support in these con…

Designing Scaffolding Cards to Facilitate LLM-Based Socratic Instruction: An Exploratory Study of Response Strategies to Support Learning

The overreliance on large language models (LLMs)-generated answers poses risks to the development of learners’ critical thinking. Socratic instruction, which follows “tutor asks, student answers” approach, could mitigate overreliance by engaging learners with LLM-generated questions rather than passively seeking answe…

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

AI for Creativity: A GenAI-Based Approach for Early Concept Design and Its Impact on Senior Architects

Senior architects are pivotal in shaping architectural projects, yet integrating Generative AI (GenAI) into their workflows presents notable challenges. A formative study (N=11) identified key pain points in their early concept design process. To address these, we developed EarlyArchi, a GenAI-driven system supporting…

Agentic Audio Moderators vs Humans in Think-Aloud Usability Testing

Agentic AI holds promise for usability testing, yet its role as an audio moderator in think-aloud protocols is not well understood. This study explores: (1) how to design and develop an agentic audio moderator for think-aloud usability testing, and (2) how participants moderated by an agentic moderator differ from tho…

MusicScaffold: Bridging Machine Efficiency and Human Growth in Adolescent Creative Education through Generative AI

Adolescence is marked by strong creative impulses but limited strategies for structured expression, often leading to frustration or disengagement. While generative AI lowers technical barriers and delivers efficient outputs, its role in fostering adolescents’ expressive growth has been overlooked. We propose MusicScaf…

Prosocial AI Apologies on the Road: Emotional Compensation for Other Drivers' Misbehavior

Aggressive driving often triggers anger and retaliatory behaviors, posing threats to traffic safety. This paper proposes an AI-driven apology mechanism based on an Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR-HUD), which delivers immediate apologies on behalf of offending drivers during traffic conflicts and repairs damaged…

Exploring Design Practice with Generative AI: Perspectives from AEC Design Professionals

The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) design marks a paradigm shift, yet empirical studies on AEC professional adoption are scarce. This study aims to bridge this gap through a mixed-methods study involving interviews with 20 professionals and a survey of 191 p…
