CHI '26Vibrotactile Feedback & Skin Stimulation +2

Augmenting Imagery with Multimodal Vibrotactile Representations: Touch, Feel, and Hear

Digital images remain largely inaccessible to blind or visually impaired (BVI) people because alt-text rarely conveys how %objects For-TAPS - materials materials feel or sound. We augment material images with multimodal vibrotactile patterns and evaluate four generation pipelines. AP1: prompt with one-shot example,…

Navigating Postpartum: Exploring Lived and Professional Perspectives to Inform Supportive Technology Design

Childbirth is a significant life transition involving physical recovery, emotional adjustment, and caring for a newborn. This period exposes parents to postpartum challenges, including emotional difficulties, social isolation, and overwhelming adjustments that can lead to depression or anxiety. Despite the prevalenc…

Emotion Through Motion: How Shape-Changing Jewelry Conveys Emotions

Shape-changing wearables are known to convey emotions to wearers and observers, and jewelry is commonly worn for self-expression and to be seen by others. But how do individual shape change parameters impact the emotions communicated? In a first study, participants observed a shape-changing necklace; the second incl…

CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research +2

Determining Perception Thresholds for Real and Virtual Inclinations While Cycling in Virtual Reality

In virtual reality (VR) experiences, mismatches between reality and virtuality are usually undesirable, as they can disrupt immersion and induce cybersickness. However, when carefully controlled, they may expand the design space of VR. This research investigates perceptual detection thresholds for mismatches between r…

CHI '26AI-Assisted Decision-Making & Automation +2

Balancing Automation and Discretion: How Decision Stakes and Human-AI Collaboration Affect Citizen Perceptions in Public Administration

The growing use of AI in public administration improves efficiency, yet its use in discretionary decisions raises concerns about fairness and legitimacy. While prior research examined decision stakes and Human–AI decision-making configurations separately, their combined effect on citizens’ perceptions of fairness and…

AUTO_UI '25Teleoperated Driving +2

SPAT: Situational Prosocial and Aggressive Behavior Perception in Traffic Scale

Automated vehicles (AVs) reached technological maturity and will soon arrive on streets as traffic participants. Human traffic participants such as drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists will be increasingly confronted with the presence of AVs within their environment, not necessarily knowing or understanding what to expec…

CHI '25Honorable MentionExternal HMI (eHMI) — Communication with Pedestrians & Cyclists +1

Around the World in 60 Cyclists: Evaluating Autonomous Vehicle-Cyclist Interfaces Across Cultures

Cultural differences influence how cyclists and drivers interact, affecting global autonomous vehicle (AV) adoption. AV-cyclist interfaces are needed to clarify AV intentions and resolve ambiguities when no human driver is present. These must adapt across cultures and road infrastructure. We conducted the first cross-…

CHI '25Honorable MentionAR Navigation & Context Awareness +2

Get Real With Me: Effects of Avatar Realism on Social Presence and Comfort in Augmented Reality Remote Collaboration and Self-Disclosure

Augmented reality (AR) is poised to transform remote communication with realistic user representations authentically simulating in-person interactions in one's own environment. While increased avatar realism is beneficial in various social contexts, as it generally fosters social presence, its impact in intimate inter…

CHI '25Social Robot Interaction +1

RoboTeach: How Student Robots' Preexisting Proficiency and Learning Rate Affect Human Teachers Demonstrating Object Placement

Social robots are employed as companions, helping in industrial and domestic environments. Adapting robots' capabilities to user needs can be achieved through teaching from human demonstrations. However, the influence of robots' preexisting proficiency and learning rate on human teachers' self-efficacy and perception…

CHI '25Privacy by Design & User Control +1

Hidden in Plain Sight: a Structured Analysis of Privacy Policies in the Context of Body-worn 'FemTech' Technologies

As HCI research turns to women's reproductive health as a topic of interest, an increasing number of female-oriented technologies (FemTech) are being marketed to consumers. This opens up a space for better management and understanding of intimate health but is not without risk. Reproductive health data collected by Fe…
