ExPeerience: Towards AI-Assisted Learnersourcing to Bridge Conceptual Understanding and Problem Solving in Database Programming Education

Learnersourcing, an educational approach that positions students as active contributors rather than passive consumers, offers a scalable approach to co-creating instructional resources while engaging students in authentic problem-solving. However, it faces a fundamental tension: effective ``learning'' requires scaffol…

Canvas3D: Empowering Precise Spatial Control for Image Generation with Constraints from a 3D Virtual Canvas

Generative AI (GenAI) has significantly advanced the ease and flexibility of image creation. However, it remains a challenge to precisely control spatial compositions, including object arrangement and scene conditions. To bridge this gap, we propose Canvas3D, an interactive system leveraging a 3D engine to enable prec…

Privacy is Not One-Click: Designing Robots That Adapt to Older Adults’ Changing Boundaries

Social robots in the home bring new privacy risks and concerns for older adults. Yet, current technology privacy mechanisms typically use a one-time and universal consent mechanism (e.g., user agreement checkbox, browser cookie setting, etc.), lacking consideration of how privacy is holistically experienced. Designing…

Understanding Gendered Experiences of Harassment Among Pakistani Young Adults Using Human-Centered Threat Modeling

Harassment impacts the safety and well-being of young adults in Pakistan. Prior research has largely focused on women, often imposing external definitions of harm and overlooking how individuals themselves understand and respond to harassment. This study examines how Pakistani young adults define, experience, and cope…

Towards Interface Design for Parrot-Human Communication: Investigating Parrot Selections of Speech Board Representations

Parrots have shown the ability to interact with tablet-based speech boards to engage in parrot-human communication. However, the influence of speech boards’ interface design on avian usability and, thus, on speech boards’ potential to optimally support parrot-human communication, is yet to be explored. As a first step…

HieraVisVR: Hierarchical Visual Analytics for Motion-Centric VR Playtesting

Playtesting is widely used in the game industry to identify design flaws and evaluate player experience, yet little research explores how to effectively visualize and analyze playtesting data. This challenge is particularly pronounced in motion-based VR games, which involve physical movements and interactions tracked…

Talking Inspiration: A Discourse Analysis of Data Visualization Podcasts

Data visualization practitioners routinely invoke inspiration, yet we know little about how it is constructed in public conversations. We conduct a discourse analysis of 31 episodes from five popular data visualization podcasts. Podcasts are public-facing and inherently performative: guests manage impressions, articul…

Not Seeing the Whole Picture: Challenges and Opportunities in Using AI for Co-Making Physical, DIY-AT for People with Visual Impairments

Existing assistive technologies (AT) often adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, overlooking the diverse needs of people with visual impairments (PVI). Do-it-yourself AT (DIY-AT) toolkits offer one path toward customization, but most remain limited—targeting co-design with engineers or requiring programming expertise. N…

JustShape: Exploring Co-Speech Gestures for Multimodal LLM-Powered 3D Parametric Modeling

Parametric modeling is a prevailing 3D modeling approach in design, architecture, and engineering. The emergence of multimodal large language models (LLMs) brings a new opportunity to lower the entry barriers to this powerful tool. However, describing 3D geometries through natural language can be fuzzy and challengi…

VizCrit: Exploring Strategies for Displaying Computational Feedback in a Visual Design Tool

Visual design instructors often provide multi-modal feedback, mixing annotations with text. Prior theory emphasizes the importance of actionable feedback, where “actionability” lies on a spectrum—from surfacing relevant design concepts to suggesting concrete fixes. How might creativity tools implement annotations that…
