IUI '26Automated Driving Interface & Takeover Design +4

Can AI Route You to Happiness? A Technical Study on Affective Automotive Navigation Interfaces

Conventional navigation systems, fixated on metrics such as time and distance, neglect the driver's emotional well-being, despite driving routes being inherent emotional triggers. This raises a critical question for the Intelligent User Interface community: How can intelligent systems successfully route information ba…

CHI '26Deepfake & Synthetic Media Detection +3

Designing Effective Digital Literacy Interventions for Boosting Deepfake Discernment

Deepfake images can erode trust in institutions and compromise election outcomes, as people often struggle to discern real images from deepfake images. Improving digital literacy can help address these challenges. Here, we compare the efficacy of five digital literacy interventions to boost people's ability to discern…

Nudging vs. Reflection in Fitness Wearables: Evaluating the Benefits and Drawbacks of Design Strategies for Wellbeing Technologies

While technology is widely recognised as a tool to enhance wellbeing, there is no clear consensus on the best practices for design. Persuasive strategies, such as nudging, are often seen as effective but raise ethical concerns. Reflection-based approaches offer a potential alternative. However, a clear understanding o…

Do It Fast, Forget It Fast: How Timing and Limb Visualizations Affect First-Person Augmented Reality Instructions

Acquiring tacit knowledge and practical skills often depends on direct observation and in situ training. AR offers an alternative by overlaying first-person step-by-step instructions that guide users through tasks such as assembly and repair. Previous work demonstrates the effectiveness of AR instruction for specific…

CHI '26Honorable MentionVoice User Interface (VUI) Design +3

Beyond Words: Measuring User Experience through Speech Analysis in Voice User Interfaces

Voice assistants (VAs) are typically evaluated through task performance metrics and self-report questionnaires, but people’s voices themselves carry rich paralinguistic cues that reveal affect, effort, and interaction breakdowns. We present a within-subjects study (N=49) that systematically compared three VA personas…

A Tree’s Perspective: Enhancing Nature Connectedness Through Transitional and Multisensory Virtual Reality Experiences

Embodying natural entities in Virtual Reality (VR) shows potential to enhance nature connectedness, but design factors that support such embodiment remain underexplored. This study examined whether transitional elements in the physical setting before and after VR and multisensory stimuli during VR can strengthen natur…

CHI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

Supporting Effective Goal Setting with LLM-Based Chatbots

Each day, individuals set behavioral goals such as eating healthier, exercising regularly, or increasing productivity. While psychological frameworks (i.e., goal setting and implementation intentions) can be helpful, they often need structured external support, which interactive technologies can provide. We thus explo…

CHI '26Digital Emotional Expression & Transmission +2

The Challenge to Design for Relatedness Experiences: An Explorative Investigation of Five Relatedness Technologies from a Psychological Needs Perspective

So-called relatedness technologies aim to create relatedness experiences between people over distance. Typically, such technologies focus on implicit or expressive interaction, as opposed to the explicit, information-focused interaction of conventional communication technologies. Based on psychological theory, previou…

CHI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +2

From Throw-Away to Takeaway: How GenAI and Vibe Coding Accelerate Prototyping Across Technical Skill Levels

A new generation of GenAI tools fueled by vibe coding practices promises to democratize software development, explicitly targeting users without programming backgrounds. Yet, we lack understanding of how technical and non-technical users actually engage with these tools across the product development lifecycle. We con…

CHI '26Privacy Perception & Decision-Making +1

Small Talk, Big Impact: The Role of Everyday Conversations in Cybersecurity Practices

Everyday talk is often treated as casual chatter, yet it plays a crucial role in how people acquire and share knowledge. Typically, cybersecurity practices are informed by formal training, but they often overlook the impact of social exchanges. This paper investigates how informal conversations can act as a socio-tech…
