CHI '26Affective Feedback & Emotion Regulation Interfaces +2

Feeling with Many: Rethinking Emotion Regulation with Swarm User Interfaces

Emotion regulation (ER) is a dynamic process that often unfolds in social contexts. However, current digital ER tools predominantly rely on single-agent systems that lack the complexity of social dynamics. Swarm user interfaces present unique affordances for ER through their collective adaptability and expressive grou…

Dust Off Kindle Highlights With Quologue: Surfacing Personal Data With Generative AI for Reflective Experiences

People’s annotations on books can serve as valuable traces for people to revisit their past thoughts, emotions, and other experiences. For e-books, however, the lack of physicality and their e-reading infrastructure make it difficult for people to revisit them as these traces continue to accumulate in digital archives…

"I Just Need GPT to Refine My Prompts”: Rethinking Onboarding and Help-Seeking with Generative 3D Modelling Tools

Learning to use feature-rich software is a persistent challenge, but generative AI tools promise to lower this barrier by replacing complex navigation with natural language prompts. We investigated how people approach prompt-based tools for 3D modeling in an observational study with 26 participants (14 casuals, 12 pro…

Eyes on Many: Evaluating Gaze, Hand, and Voice for Multi-Object Selection in Extended Reality

Interacting with multiple objects simultaneously makes us fast. A pre-step to this interaction is to select the objects, i.e., multi-object selection, which is enabled through two steps: (1) toggling multi-selection mode --- mode-switching --- and then (2) selecting all the intended objects --- subselection. In extend…

Tracing Everyday AI Literacy Discussions at Scale: How Online Creative Communities Make Sense of Generative AI

Developing AI literacy is increasingly urgent as generative AI reshapes creative practice. Yet most AI literacy frameworks are top-down and expert-driven, overlooking how literacy emerges organically in creative communities. To address this gap, we performed a large-scale analysis of 122k Reddit conversations from 80…

Becoming Watchful on the Trail and at Home: Understanding Experiential Outcomes of Capra in Long-Term Use

How might alternative encounters with personal hiking data support practices of noticing nature as well as changes in one’s self over time? To investigate this question, we conducted a multi-year first person study with Capra—a system that combines the collection and exploration of hiking experiences in nature with an…

LLM-based Embodied Conversational Agent for Reducing Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety in Social VR

Foreign language speaking anxiety (FLSA) poses a major challenge for English-language learners, suppressing confidence and triggering a cycle of avoidance that hinders language acquisition. To address this, we explored the use of LLM-based embodied conversational agents (ECA) in social virtual reality (VR), which prov…

A Tree’s Perspective: Enhancing Nature Connectedness Through Transitional and Multisensory Virtual Reality Experiences

Embodying natural entities in Virtual Reality (VR) shows potential to enhance nature connectedness, but design factors that support such embodiment remain underexplored. This study examined whether transitional elements in the physical setting before and after VR and multisensory stimuli during VR can strengthen natur…

SeeSawBot: An LLM-Driven Chatbot Mediating Across Private and Shared Slack Channels to Support Team Dynamics

While conversational agents increasingly mediate teamwork, prior work has mainly focused on when, what, or to whom an intervention is directed, with little attention to where mediation occurs. Therefore, we introduce SeeSawBot, an LLM-driven chatbot that operates across private DMs and public channels. Following a for…

Metacognitive Demands and Strategies While Using Off-The-Shelf AI Conversational Agents for Health Information Seeking

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) conversational agents become widespread, people are increasingly using them for health information seeking. The use of off-the-shelf conversational agents for health information seeking could place high metacognitive demands (the need for extensive monitoring and control of one's own th…
