Liar, Liar, Headset on Fire: Understanding the Effects of Deception Attacks on Decision-Making in a Mixed Reality Game

We examine the impact of deception in Mixed Reality (MR), focusing on how subversive elements affect user behavior and decision-making. In a controlled experiment with 250 participants playing a Whac-A-Mole MR game, we introduced three types of deception attacks: (1) a Physiological Spoofing Attack intended to foster…

CHI '26Data Storytelling +2

Does Background Music Matter in Data Videos? A Study of Music's Impact on Persuasion, Engagement, and Recall

Data videos combine visualization, animation, narration, and often background music to tell stories with data. While music is widely believed to enhance emotion and persuasion, its impact in data videos remains unexplored. We conducted a preregistered between-subjects experiment comparing six widely-viewed data videos…

Challenges in Synchronous & Remote Collaboration Around Visualization

We characterize 16 challenges faced by those investigating and developing remote and synchronous collaborative experiences around visualization. Our work reflects the perspectives and prior research efforts of an international group of 29 experts from across human-computer interaction and visualization sub-communities…

Defining Reality in Dementia VR: Stakeholder Perspectives on Ecological Validity for Functional Activity Training

Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used in dementia care, yet most applications focus on recreation or cognitive stimulation rather than supporting the everyday activities that matter for independent living. To understand what makes VR practice feel realistic and useful for people with dementia (PwD), we conducted s…

AbstractExplorer: Leveraging Structure-Mapping Theory to Enhance Comparative Close Reading at Scale

Individual flagship conferences today can have over a thousand papers; even reading just the abstract of every paper at the latest relevant conference to keep up with the research is time and memory prohibitive. Previous visualizations in this domain have ubiquitously followed Shneiderman's Visual Information-Seeking…

Coalesce: An Accessible Mixed-Initiative System for Designing Community-Centric Questionnaires

Effectively incorporating community input into civic decision-making processes is crucial for fostering inclusive governance. However, public officials often face challenges in formulating effective questions to gather meaningful insights due to constraints such as time, resources, and limited experience in questionna…

Beyond Text and Speech in Conversational Agents: Mapping the Design Space of Avatars

Conversational agents have gained widespread popularity due to their ability to simulate and sustain contextual conversations. Prior works predominantly focused on computational challenges. However, avatars — the representation of the agent — impact user interactions and perception of conversational agents' trustworth…
