CHI '26Game UX & Player Behavior +2

Often Discouraged, Never Refused? How Character Creator Interfaces Afford Non-Binary Gender Expression

For many trans and non-binary (NB) people video games present an important space for gender expression and exploration. Character creator interfaces (CCIs) promise one such outlet, but current theoretical vocabulary is insufficient at capturing the particular features and conditions which make NB gender expression pla…

On the Computational Reproducibility of Human-Computer Interaction

An increasing number of HCI researchers have embraced open science ideas, such as sharing data and analysis code. However, such practices are only meaningful when the shared data and code enable other researchers to reproduce and reuse the reported findings. To investigate the reproducibility of HCI research, we ident…

CHI '26Thermal & Temperature Interaction +2

Constructing the Thermal Affective Design Space for Emotion Regulation: An Autoethnographic Research Through Design Inquiry

Temperature has strong potential to mediate emotion in a range of contexts; augmenting sensory experience and/or supporting emotion regulation. Hence, there is growing interest in leveraging thermal cues for affective technologies. At present, however, the design space for thermal technologies for emotion regulation…

Performing Technology: A Five Year Long Autoetnography

This paper presents a longitudinal autoethnography of developing performance practice with a movement-based digital instrument. This instrument extends the human body and enables performers to express musical aesthetics through their movement. What started as a design practice and understanding the boundaries of perfo…

When EmotionTech Causes Harm: The Case of Therapeutic XR

Emotional harm and discomfort in therapeutic extended realities (XR) remains underexamined, even as immersive tools are increasingly deployed in healthcare contexts. We frame therapeutic XR as EmotionTech and reflect on 12 cases from 9 researchers and designers through interviews and workshops. We locate four concerns…

CHI '26Honorable MentionTechnology Ethics & Critical HCI +3

Aesthetics of Felt Asymmetry

Our bodies mediate every interaction with technology, yet—as soma design and feminist HCI remind us—the body is not a neutral canvas. We introduce and examine felt asymmetries—somaesthetic experiences of difference in the body—as a site for generative and critical engagement in interaction design. Through an autobiogr…

CHI '26Health Self-Tracking +3

Exploring and Probing the Algorithmic Gaze on Bodies and Well-being

Machine Learning (ML) models are increasingly applied to wearable self-tracking technologies to offer daily classifications and recommendations for well-being. This shift introduces design challenges, particularly regarding the opacity of training processes and model outputs. We contribute to this space with a concept…

CHI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

Results-Actionability Gap: Understanding How Practitioners Evaluate LLM Products in the Wild

How do product teams evaluate LLM-powered products? As organizations integrate large language models (LLMs) into digital products, their unpredictable nature makes traditional evaluation approaches inadequate, yet little is known about how practitioners navigate this challenge. Through interviews with nineteen practit…

CHI '26Cognitive Impairment & Neurodiversity (Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia) +2

"Chasing Shadows”: Understanding Personal Data Externalization and Self-Tracking for Neurodivergent Individuals

We examine how neurodivergent individuals experience creating, interacting with, and reflecting on personal data about masking. Although self-tracking is often framed as enabling self-insight, this is rarely our experience as neurodivergent individuals and researchers. To better understand this disconnect, we conducte…

CSCW '25Honorable MentionHybrid Work

Location Multiplicity: Lost Space in the Hybrid Office

Navigating the complexities of shared hybrid workspaces presents significant challenges, with a risk of producing problematic spatial dynamics. Drawing on an ethnographic study, we scrutinize how office workers produce and negotiate hybrid spatial arrangements and identify location multiplicity as a core challenge for…
