IUI '26Best PaperMultilingual & Cross-Cultural Voice Interaction +2

"Same Voice, Different Language": An Exploration of Voice-Cloned Translation to Support Non-Native Speakers in Online Meetings

Cross-lingual meetings have become essential for global collaboration, yet current translation technologies often strip away vocal identity — the unique speaker characteristics that convey nuance and social presence. While generic text-to-speech (TTS) provides basic intelligibility, it creates a disconnect between spe…

CHI '26Multisensory Fusion Experience +2

Taking a Walk on the Wild Side: Effects of Walking in Synchrony with Pitch-Altered Footstep Sounds on Body Perception in Outside the Lab Contexts

The 'Footsteps Illusion' shows that pitch-altering footstep sounds in real-time affects body perception, gait, and emotion: high versus low frequencies evoke a lighter versus heavier body. We tested whether this illusion extends beyond the lab, where environmental factors matter. Using a mixed-methods approach, twenty…

Play/Destroy: A portfolio of sound destruction devices

Digital media operates on a curious boundary between storage and loss. While each new storage format promises a permanent solution to our exponentially expanding media libraries, they inevitably fail or otherwise become unusable. This paper reflects on a long-term design process that attempts to bring a different para…

Modalities of Regulation in Sustainable HCI: Rethinking the Role of Design in Shaping Sustainable Behaviours and Society

There have been repeated calls for more ecological approaches to Sustainable HCI, and for the inclusion of the sociopolitical, structural, historical, and geographical aspects that shape technology-mediated practices of sustainability. Contributing to this discourse, and drawing from scholarship on Law and IT, this pa…

CHI '26Health Self-Tracking +2

When Things Don’t Go As Planned with Digital Contraception.

We present a qualitative interview study that examines what happens when things do not go as planned with digital contraception. Through an analysis of 27 interviews with ongoing users of digital contraception at the time of the study, we convey participants’ accounts of their experiences regarding unplanned pregnanci…

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 '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

Exploring the Design of a LLM-Based AI Assistant for Mindfulness Practice With Older Adults

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into mental health and well-being technologies, yet little is known about how they are perceived by older adults or how they should be designed to meet later-life needs. Mindfulness technologies, often promoted as tools for healthy ageing, provide a useful conte…

Ecological Systems Theory for Studying and Designing Menstrual Technologies

Menstrual experiences are shaped by many different stakeholders, entities, and the broader socio-cultural context, or in other words, the ecological systems surrounding a menstruator. We explore what it means to take an ecological approach in studying and designing menstrual technologies. We translated and adapted Eco…

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 '26Haptic Wearables +2

Inside the Mirror, Wearing My own Body: Why UX Should Engage Monstrous Experiences

While engaging with four different wearable systems, we unexpectedly encountered felt experiences that resisted articulation and defied conventional classification. They were neither pleasant nor unpleasant, and yet both; neither comforting nor frightening, and yet both; neither recognizably human-like nor machinic, a…
