CHI '26Agent Personality & Anthropomorphism +2

Operationalizing Perceptions of Agent Gender: Foundations and Guidelines

The “gender” of intelligent agents, virtual characters, social robots, and other agentic machines has emerged as a fundamental topic in studies of people's interactions with computers. Perceptions of agent gender can help explain user attitudes and behaviours—from preferences to toxicity to stereotyping—across a varie…

KNIT: Computational Boundary Objects for Real-Time Convergence in Interdisciplinary Teams

Interdisciplinary teams developing complex technologies such as healthtech struggle to align disciplinary perspectives, stakeholder priorities, and evolving problem framings, particularly during rapid iteration, when existing collaboration tools offer limited support for in-session negotiation. We present KNIT, an AI-…

CHI '26Programming Education & Computational Thinking +2

Design and Evaluation of a Photorealistic AI Virtual Peer in Elementary Collaborative Classroom

In elementary education, students struggle to articulate uncertainties, limiting diverse perspectives in classroom discussions, particularly in small schools where limited participants constrain collaborative learning. This study designed and evaluated ``Saya,'' a photorealistic AI virtual peer functioning as an addit…

Sensing Your Vocals: Exploring the Activity of Vocal Cord Muscles for Pitch Assessment Using Electromyography and Ultrasonography

Vocal training is difficult because the muscles that control pitch, resonance, and phonation are internal and invisible to learners. This paper investigates how Electromyography (EMG) and ultrasonic imaging (UI) can make these muscles observable for training purposes. We report three studies. First, we analyze the E…

CHI '26Game UX & Player Behavior +2

Radical Gender Neutrality: Agender Euphoria in Gaming and Play Experiences

Agender euphoria is a new term representing the powerful feelings of happiness, joy, and contentment derived from experiences in gender-free embodiments, spaces, and activities. People with and without agender and adjacent identities (e.g., genderless, gender-free, non-binary, gender-apathetic) may have such experienc…

CHI '26Honorable MentionHuman Pose & Activity Recognition +3

SoleCoach: Sole Pressure and IMU-based MLLMs for Skill Coaching

In sports training, individualized skill assessment and feedback are essential for athletes to master complex movements and enhance performance. Existing approaches for generating coaching comments primarily rely on externally captured pose information, which limits their applicability in outdoor sports such as skiing…

CHI '26Honorable MentionDigital Signage & Ambient Displays +1

Chromotion: Controlling Motion-Induced Color on Object Motion Paths via High-Speed Temporal Additive Projection

We present Chromotion, a high-speed projection method that renders intended colors along the motion trajectories of moving objects. When an object moves across a　temporally multiplexed sequence, its occlusion of the projected patterns can, through persistence of vision, produce motion dependent colors along its path.…

CHI '26Dark Patterns Recognition +2

Access Over Deception: Fighting Deceptive Patterns through Accessibility

Deceptive patterns, i.e. dark patterns and manipulative user interfaces (UI), are a widely used design method that aims to manipulate users to act against their own interests. These patterns may particularly influence people with less education, visual impairments, and older adults. Yet, access is a critical feature o…

Hearing Ambiguity: Exploring Beyond-Gender Impressions of Artificial Ambiguous Voices

Voice perception plays a fundamental role in all types of interactions, from human-to-human communication to human-technology interaction. When it comes to technology, we sometimes have the option to choose the type of voice we want to hear. But why is the default (almost) always a feminine or masculine voice? In this…

DIS '25Data Physicalization +2

Crafting the Unspoken: Engaging Japanese Older Adults with Data Physicalization Workshops

Engaging individuals in creating physical representations of personal data facilitates storytelling and collaborative reflection. However, its potential to encourage older adults to share their personal stories remains underexplored. This study introduces a craft-centered data physicalization approach where participan…
