CHI '26Haptic Wearables +2

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…

Actions, Speech, and Looks: What Shapes How We Feel About In-Vehicle AI Assistants?

What should an intelligent in-vehicle assistant (IVA) look like, and how should it behave to truly enhance the in-car experience? We present a large-scale video-based online experiment (n = 1238) exploring how IVA design factors influence user perceptions. Participants evaluated two scenarios (adjusting temperature, a…

A Declarative Human-Robot Interaction Framework: Integrating Improvisation and Materiality in Robotic Fabrication and Design

Collaborative robots, with their computational power and versatile manipulation capabilities, hold significant potential in design and fabrication. However, their reliance on predefined CAD models and algorithms limits their effectiveness in creative, dynamic and unstructured contexts. In contrast, humans easily adapt…

Embrogami: Shape-Changing Textiles with Machine Embroidery

Machine embroidery is a versatile technique for creating custom and entirely fabric-based patterns on thin and conformable textile surfaces. However, existing machine-embroidered surfaces remain static, limiting the interactions they can support. We introduce Embrogami, an approach for fabricating textile structures w…

Designing for Human Operations on the Moon: Challenges and Opportunities of Navigational HUD Interfaces

Future crewed missions to the Moon will face significant environmental and operational challenges, posing risks to the safety and performance of astronauts navigating its inhospitable surface. Whilst head-up displays (HUDs) have proven effective in providing intuitive navigational support on Earth, the design of novel…

Fighting Malicious Designs: Towards Visual Countermeasures Against Dark Patterns

Dark patterns are malicious UI design strategies that nudge users towards decisions going against their best interests. To create technical countermeasures against them, dark patterns must be automatically detectable. While researchers have devised algorithms to detect some patterns automatically, there has only been…

Follow me: Anthropomorphic appearance and communication impact social perception and joint navigation behavior

This study addresses how anthropomorphic features shape users’ social perception and trust towards service robots and whether anthropomorphic characteristics influence the way people jointly navigate with them facing several obstacles in a course. Therefore, an experimental study was conducted where two communication…

Navigating Real-World Complexity: A Multi-Medium System for Heterogeneous Human-Robot Interaction

Real-world robot system deployment is often performed in complex and unstructured environments. These complex environments coupled with multi-faceted global tasks often lead to complicated stakeholder structures, making designing for these environments extremely challenging. Magnifying this difficulty, tasks performed…

User-Aware Rendering: Merging the Strengths of Device- and User-Perspective Rendering in Handheld AR

In handheld AR, users have only a small screen to see the augmented scene, making decisions about scene layout and rendering techniques crucial. Traditional device-perspective rendering (DPR) uses the device camera's full field of view, enabling fast scene exploration, but ignoring what the user sees around the device…

AUTO_UI '23Automated Driving Interface & Takeover Design

Exploring Driver Responses to Authoritative Control Interventions in Highly Automated Driving

Future automated driving systems (ADS) are discussed as having the ability to "override" driver control inputs. Yet, little is known about how drivers respond to this, nor how a human-machine interaction (HMI) for them should be designed. This work identifies intervention types associated with an ADS that has change c…
