Co-Ideation Across Time: Revitalizing Legacy Design Sketchnotes with Conversational AI Agents to Foster Intergenerational Collaboration

While legacy sketchnotes capture rich design rationales and inspirations, they are rarely reused in contemporary practice. We present Co-Ideation Across Time (CIAT), utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) to transform decades-old design sketchnotes into interactive "AI-augmented Knowledge Objects". Our system digitize…

ReMirrorFugue: Examining the Emotional Experience of Presence and (Illusory) Communications Across Time

This paper examines how strategies for simulating social presence across distance can evoke a sense of presence and facilitate illusory interactions across time. We conducted a mixed-methods study with 28 participants, exploring their emotional experience of interacting with decade-old recorded piano performances on M…

SoftBioMorph: Fabricating Sustainable Shape-changing Interfaces using Soft Biopolymers

Bio-based and bio-degradable materials have shown promising results for sustainable Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) applications, including shape-changing interfaces. However, the diversity of shape-changing behaviors achievable with these materials remains unclear as the fabrication knowledge is scattered across mul…

Tuning In to Intangibility: Reflections from My First 3 Years of Theremin Learning

This paper presents an autoethnography of 3 years of learning to play the theremin, an instrument lacking tangible feedback. While the theremin is typically invoked in HCI to emphasize the importance of the tactile modality, we interrogate how I, the player, attained musical proficiency without touch. Through a the…

Biohybrid Devices: Prototyping Interactive Devices with Growable Materials

Living bio-materials are increasingly used in HCI for fabricating objects by growing. However, how to integrate electronics to make these objects interactive still needs to be clarified. This paper presents an exploration of the fabrication design space of Biohybrid Interactive Devices, a class of interactive devices…

CHI '23Hand Gesture Recognition +2

Performative Vocal Synthesis for Foreign Language Intonation Practice

Typical foreign language (L2) pronunciation training focuses mainly on individual sounds. Intonation, the patterns of pitch change across words or phrases is often neglected, despite its key role in word-level intelligibility and in the expression of attitudes and affect. This paper examines hand-controlled real-time…
