CHI '26Motor Impairment Assistive Input Technologies +1

Imagine, Interact: Eliciting Accessible Interactions from Users with Motor Impairments via Imagined Input Devices

We present empirical results from a study conducted with eleven users with upper-body motor impairments who imagined input devices and corresponding gestures to operate them for performing common tasks in interactive systems. We report a strong preference for embodying devices (80%), primarily through the hands, rathe…

Between Bulky Suits and Isolated, Deserted Landscape: Measuring the User Experience of Astronaut-Drone Interaction

Isolated, Confined, and Extreme (ICE) environments, such as those encountered in space exploration missions, pose unique physical and psychological challenges that influence user interactions with computer systems, yet remain considerably less documented compared to conventional settings. To investigate the impact of…

Good Accessibility, Handcuffed Creativity: AI-Generated UIs Between Accessibility Guidelines and Practitioners’ Expectations

The emergence of AI-powered UI generation tools presents both opportunities and challenges for accessible design, but their ability to produce truly accessible outcomes remains underexplored. In this work, we examine the effects of different prompt strategies through an evaluation of ninety interfaces generated by two…

UX, but on Mars: Exploring User Experience in Extreme Environments with Insights from a Mars Analog Mission

Isolated, Confined, and Extreme (ICE) environments, such as those encountered in space missions, deep-sea explorations, and polar expeditions, pose unique physical and psychological challenges that influence user interaction with computer systems and have been significantly less explored compared to conventional envir…

CHI '25In-Vehicle Haptic, Audio & Multimodal Feedback +2

Distal-Haptic Touchscreens: Understanding the User Experience of Vibrotactile Feedback Decoupled from the Touch Point

We examine the user experience of distal haptics for touchscreen input through confirmatory vibrations of on-screen touches at various on-body locations. To this end, we introduce the Distal Haptics Continuum, a conceptual framework of haptic feedback delivery across the body, organized along the dimensions of Body La…

CHI '25Hand Gesture Recognition +2

Intermanual Deictics: Uncovering Users' Gesture Preferences for Opposite-Arm Referential Input, from Fingers to Shoulder

We examine intermanual deictics, a distinctive class of gesture input characterized by an intermanual structure, asymmetric postural-manipulative articulation, and a deictic nature, drawing from both on-skin and bimanual mid-air gestures. To understand user preferences for gestures featuring these characteristics, we…

CHI '25Hand Gesture Recognition +1

Non-Natural Interaction Design

Natural interactions, such as those based on gesture input, feel intuitive, familiar, and well-suited to user abilities in context, and have been supported by extensive research. Contrary to the conventional mainstream, we advocate for non-natural interaction design as a transformative process that results in highly e…

CHI '24Haptic Wearables +1

Take a Seat, Make a Gesture: Charting User Preferences for On-Chair and From-Chair Gesture Input

We explore the chair as a referential frame for facilitating hand gesture input to control interactive systems. First, we conduct a Systematic Literature Review on the topic of interactions supported by chairs, and uncover little research on harnessing everyday chairs for input, limited to chair rotation and tilting m…

iFAD Gestures: Understanding Users' Gesture Input Performance with Index-Finger Augmentation Devices

We examine gestures performed with a class of input devices with distinctive quality properties in the wearables landscape, which we call "index-Finger Augmentation Devices" (iFADs). We introduce a four-level taxonomy to characterize the diversity of iFAD gestures, evaluate iFAD gesture articulation on a dataset of 6,…

CHI '23Honorable MentionFull-Body Interaction & Embodied Input +1

Understanding Wheelchair Users' Preferences for On-Body, In-Air, and On-Wheelchair Gestures

We present empirical results from a gesture elicitation study conducted with eleven wheelchair users that proposed on-body, in-air, and on-wheelchair gestures to effect twenty-one referents representing common actions, types of digital content, and navigation commands for interactive systems. We report a large prefere…
