Understanding Emotional Closeness in Distanced Intergenerational Relationships Between Young Children and Older Adults: A Scoping Review for HCI

Emotional closeness (EC) is central to family relationships, however in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) it is often regarded as self-evident, invoked through adjacent constructs such as connection or co-presence. This ambiguity is particularly limiting for remote relationships between young children (aged 4-8 years)…

Influencers vs. Legacy Media on Instagram: Effects on Perceived Credibility and Following Intention

Social media has blurred the line between professional journalism and personality-driven commentary, yet we know little about how users evaluate credibility and engage with news from influencers and legacy media when they appear in the same feed. This short paper investigates how political ideology and news source typ…

Timing Matters: Designing Effective Corrections for Short-Form Video Misinformation

Short-form video platforms have become major channels for misinformation, with their rich multimodal features making false claims highly believable. HCI research shows that providing corrections in the same modality as the misinformation can be an effective solution. However, since corrections and misinformation conve…

“My Tummy Has a Little Dragon”: From Everyday Experiences of Gut Sounds to Interoceptive Interaction Design

Gastrointestinal sounds are a constant part of human physiology, offering potential insights into digestive functions and everyday bodily awareness. However, these sounds are rarely noticed and often socially stigmatised, remaining underexplored in HCI despite calls to recognise the gut as a site for embodied awarenes…

Mapping the Landscape of Affective Extended Reality: A Scoping Review of Biodata-Driven Systems for Understanding and Sharing Emotions

This paper introduces the notion of affective extended reality (XR) to characterise XR systems that use biodata to enable understanding of emotions. The HCI literature contains many such systems, but they have not yet been mapped into a coherent whole. To address this, we conducted a scoping review of 82 papers that e…

AI Sensing and Intervention in Higher Education: Student Perceptions of Learning Impacts, Affective Responses, and Ethical Priorities

AI technologies that sense student attention and emotions to enable more personalised teaching interventions are increasingly promoted, but raise pressing questions about student learning, wellbeing, and ethics. In particular, students’ perspectives about AI sensing-intervention in learning are often overlooked. We co…

Gaze and Speech in Multimodal Human-Computer Interaction: A Scoping Review

Multimodal interaction has long promised to make interfaces more intuitive and effective by combining complementary inputs. Among these, gaze and speech form a compelling pairing: gaze provides rapid spatial grounding, while speech conveys rich semantic information. Together, they offer rich cues for understanding use…

Plotania: Exploring Transparency Trade-offs in AI Co-Writing Through Virtual Readers and Transparent Attribution

Current AI writing tools aim to enhance authorial capacity yet often diminish authorial control and lack timely audience feedback. Through a formative study with fiction authors (N=10), we uncovered two critical tensions in human–AI co-writing: balancing AI scaffolding with authorial ownership, and the absence of cont…

Applying Value Sensitive Design to Location-Based Services: Designing for Shared Spaces and Local Conditions

Location-Based Services (LBS) such as ride-sharing, accommodation, food delivery, and location-driven social media platforms entangle digital systems with physical spaces, thereby generating impacts that extend beyond users to others who share the same environments. Existing design approaches struggle to address the d…

CHI '26Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) +2

Grand Challenges around Designing Computers’ Control Over Our Bodies

Advances in emerging technologies, such as on-body mechanical actuators and electrical muscle stimulation, have allowed computers to take control over our bodies. This presents opportunities as well as challenges, raising fundamental questions about agency and the role of our body when interacting with technology. To…
