CHI '26Full-Body Interaction & Embodied Input +2

Reflective Motion and a Physical Canvas: Exploring Embodied Journaling in Virtual Reality

In traditional journaling practices, authors express and process their thoughts by writing them down. We propose a somaesthetic-inspired alternative that uses the human body, rather than written words, as the medium of expression. We coin this embodied journaling, as people's isolated body movements and spoken words b…

Scene2Hap: Generating Scene-Wide Haptics for VR from Scene Context with Multimodal LLMs

Haptic feedback contributes to immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences. However, designing such feedback at scale for all objects within a VR scene remains time-consuming. We present Scene2Hap, an LLM-centered system that automatically designs object-level vibrotactile feedback for entire VR scenes based on the obj…
