IUI '26Eye Tracking & Gaze Interaction +3

Eye2Recall: Exploring Mixed-Initiative Reminiscence Activities via Gaze-Driven LLM Prompts for Older Adults

Photo-based reminiscence can support well-being in older adults, yet most systems remain text-driven and offer little real-time adaptivity. We first conduct expert interviews to derive design considerations for accessibility, cultural fit, and safe emotional engagement. We then implemented Eye2Recall, an intelligent…

IUI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +2

Adaptive Prompt Elicitation for Text-to-Image Generation

Aligning text-to-image generation with user intent remains challenging, as users frequently provide ambiguous inputs and struggle with model idiosyncrasies. We propose Adaptive Prompt Elicitation (APE), a technique that adaptively poses visual queries to help users refine prompts without extensive writing. Our technic…

ESR-Coach: Leveraging Large Language Models for Training People to Provide Emotionally Supportive Responses

Effectively providing emotional support is a critical yet intricate interpersonal skill. Supporters often lack accessible and practical training opportunities to develop this competency. To address this gap, we introduce ESR-Coach, a Large Language Model (LLM)-based coaching system designed to train individuals in emo…

ChoiceMates: Supporting Unfamiliar Online Decision-Making with Multi-Agent Conversational Interactions

From purchasing a gift to deciding on a hobby, unfamiliar decisions---decisions without domain knowledge and experience---are frequent and significant. The complexity and uncertainty of such decisions demand unique approaches to information seeking, understanding, and decision-making. Our formative study highlights th…

DuoDrama: Supporting Screenplay Refinement Through LLM-Assisted Human Reflection

AI has been increasingly integrated into screenwriting practice. In refinement, screenwriters expect AI to provide feedback that supports reflection across the internal perspective of characters and the external perspective of the overall story. However, existing AI tools cannot sufficiently coordinate the two perspec…

Agency-Enhanced Visual Search in VR: Robust to Distraction, Delay, and Perspective Shifts

The sense of agency, the internal feeling of controlling one's actions and their outcomes, fundamentally shapes user interaction in virtual environments. Although extensively studied for its subjective impact, agency’s implicit yet critical role in guiding visual-spatial attention has been largely overlooked. This stu…

CHI '26Dark Patterns Recognition +3

Dark Patterns Meet GUI Agents: LLM Agent Susceptibility to Manipulative Interfaces and the Role of Human Oversight

The dark patterns, deceptive interface designs manipulating user behaviors, have been extensively studied for their effects on human decision-making and autonomy. Yet, with the rising prominence of LLM-powered GUI agents that automate tasks from high-level intents, understanding how dark patterns affect agents is incr…

Hidden Labor behind the Hype: Understanding AI Side Hustles through Platform Narratives and Worker Practices

AI side hustles are increasingly promoted on social media as accessible, empowering, and profitable opportunities. This paper examines the gap between such platform narratives and workers' lived experiences through a mixed-method study of 7,938 RedNote posts and 16 semi-structured interviews. Our analysis identifies m…

Who Gets Written In? Gender, Identity, and Moderation in AO3’s Celebrity Fanfiction

Archive of Our Own (AO3) is a prominent fanfiction platform widely recognized for its feminist design ethos, with a commitment to inclusive, pluralism and community-driven content creation. Among the content on it, Real Person Fiction (RPF) --- creations based on public figures rather than fictional characters --- of…

CHI '26Grief Support Technology +2

From Memory to Meaning: A Systematic Review of Reminiscence Technologies in HCI

Technologies designed to support reminiscence, defined as the practice of engaging with one’s personal past, have become a significant area of inquiry within HCI. Although this has generated a diverse range of creative systems, the field still lacks a systematic account of the design principles that guide them. In thi…
