Playing with Privacy: Uncovering Everyday Judgments of Data Sensitivity Through an Arcade Machine Interface

Current data protection legal frameworks, including the GDPR, classify “special” categories of personal data that are deemed deserving of higher protection due to their impact on fundamental rights. Yet, these legal abstractions fail to capture how individuals themselves judge sensitivity in everyday digital contexts.…

HCI for Agroecology: Agri-Tech between Grassroots and Capitalism

Digital technologies in agriculture are typically portrayed as enabling more sustainable production while increasing productivity. Yet, commercial solutions rarely address the root causes of unsustainable farming, limiting the uptake of more radical solutions such as agroecology. We conducted fieldwork on 11 UK small-…

CHI '26Sustainable HCI +3

Designing to Support Local Stakeholders in Negotiating about Future Sustainable and Healthy Food Systems

HCI has studied food practices and speculative food futures, and drawn on tools to support, for example, decision-making and participatory futuring in relation to food. However, there is little understanding of how quantitatively-grounded tools like interactive simulation models can mediate collaborative reasoning abo…

Caring about Care: A Meta-Narrative Review of HCI Research on Care

The number of HCI papers on care has grown rapidly in recent years. Despite growing interest in care both as an application domain for technology and as an ethical stance in research and design, our integrated understanding of the concept is limited. It remains unclear how various application areas of care relate to o…

User Experience of Autonomous Ferries: What Passengers Need and How to Design for It

Designing autonomous public transport requires understanding how passengers experience such systems in real-world use. For autonomous ferries, however, little is known about how users interpret waterborne autonomy. We address this gap through post-ride interviews (N=164) from a public trial of an autonomous ferry held…

留白 (Liubai) at a Hushed Sanctuary: Layered Reflections on an Artist Residency

Considering that silence has long been intertwined with ritual and spiritual practice, we explore how digital technology might support silence thereby allowing space for reflection, attunement, and meaning-making. How does the Chinese aesthetic concept of liubai (留白, “empty space”) open up new ways of designing for no…

AI as an Agent and Collaborative Space: Exploring the role of Generative AI in Small Group Synchronous and Asynchronous Collaborative Dynamics

While Generative AI (GenAI) systems are designed primarily for individual use, it is increasingly integrated into collaborative work. Its impact, however, on collaboration dynamics, such as information flow, role negotiation, and decision-making, remains unclear. To investigate this, we conducted a qualitative study c…

Unpacking Visual Metaphors in Infographics: A Design Space

Visual metaphors illuminate infographics by leveraging graphical representations from more familiar source domains (e.g., a dandelion) to explain concepts in more abstract target domains (e.g., information propagation). However, designing effective visual metaphors remains a challenge, especially for novice designers,…

FretFlow: Adaptive Haptics for Rhythm and Articulation in Guitar Learning

Rhythm and articulation are essential for expressive guitar performance. Existing tools provide basic beat cues, whereas beginners often struggle to align with these cues when playing complex techniques, such as strumming and muting. Informed by a formative study with five instructors and grounded in embodied learning…

CHI '26Emotion Recognition & Detection +3

The Emotional Dimensions of Young Adults’ Encounters with Online Information

The platformisation of news is increasingly shaping young adults’ emotional wellbeing, presenting urgent challenges for HCI. Existing approaches prioritise control, visibility, and agency, neglecting the emotional and relational dimensions of everyday news encounters. Such frameworks tend to overlook how information e…
