CHI '26Visual Impairment Technologies (Screen Readers, Tactile Graphics, Braille) +2

Finding the Signal in the Noise: An Exploratory Study on Assessing the Effectiveness of AI and Accessibility Forums for Blind Users’ Support Needs

Accessibility forums and, more recently, generative AI tools have become vital resources for blind users seeking solutions to computer-interaction issues and learning about new assistive technologies, screen reader features, tutorials, and software updates. Understanding user experiences with these resources is essent…

CHI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +2

Can Good Writing Be Generative? Expert-Level AI Writing Emerges through Fine-Tuning on High Quality Books

Creative writing has long been considered a uniquely human endeavor, requiring voice and style that machines could not replicate. This assumption is challenged by Generative AI that can emulate thousands of author styles in seconds with negligible marginal labor. To understand this better, we conducted a behavioral ex…

CHI '26Soft Keyboard & Virtual Keyboard Design +1

KeySense: LLM-Powered Hands-Down, Ten-Finger Typing on Commodity Touchscreens

Existing touchscreen software keyboards prevent users from resting their hands, forcing slow and fatiguing index-finger tapping (“chicken typing”) instead of familiar hands-down ten-finger typing. We present KeySense, a purely software solution that preserves physical keyboard motor skills. KeySense isolates intention…

Lost in Instructions: Study of Blind Users’ Experiences with DIY Manuals and AI-Rewritten Instructions for Assembly, Operation, and Troubleshooting of Tangible Products

AI tools like ChatGPT and Be-My-AI are increasingly being used by blind individuals. Although prior work has explored their use in some Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tasks by blind individuals, little is known about how they use these tools and the available product-manual resources to assemble, operate, and troubleshoot physi…

CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research +2

From Selfie Stick to Virtual Cane: Enabling Blind Exploration through Mobile Virtual Reality

Conventional VR experiences rely heavily on visual input, creating barriers for individuals who are blind or have low vision (BLV). We present a mobile VR system that enables BLV users to explore virtual environments independently using a smartphone as a simulated white cane, augmented with spatial audio and haptic fe…

CHI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

Be Friendly, Not Friends: How LLM Sycophancy Shapes User Trust

LLM-powered conversational agents are increasingly influencing our decision-making, raising concerns about “sycophancy”–the tendency for LLMs to excessively agree with users even at the expense of truthfulness. While prior work has primarily examined LLM sycophancy as a model behavior, our understanding of how users p…

CSCW '25Facilitating Equity and Fairness in Tech

FairPlay: A Collaborative Approach to Mitigate Bias in Datasets for Improved AI Fairness

The issue of fairness in decision-making is a critical one, especially given the variety of stakeholder demands for differing and mutually incompatible versions of fairness. Adopting a strategic interaction of perspectives provides an alternative to enforcing a singular standard of fairness. We present a web-based sof…

UIST '25Voice Accessibility +2

Enabling Auto-Correction on Soft Braille Keyboard

A soft Braille keyboard is a graphical representation of the Braille writing system on smartphones. It provides an essential text input method for visually impaired individuals, but accuracy and efficiency remain significant challenges. We present an intelligent Braille keyboard with auto-correction ability, which use…

UIST '25360° Video & Panoramic Content +2

MACEDON : Supporting Programmers with Real-Time Multi-Dimensional Code Evaluation and Optimization

Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have led programmers to increasingly turn to them for code optimization and evaluation. However, programmers need to frequently switch between code evaluation and prompt authoring because there is a lack of understanding of the underlying code. Yet, current LLM- driv…

CHI '25Human-LLM Collaboration

Tap&Say: Touch Location-Informed Large Language Model for Multimodal Text Correction on Smartphones

While voice input offers a convenient alternative to traditional text editing on mobile devices, practical implementations face two key challenges: 1) reliably distinguishing between editing commands and content dictation, and 2) effortlessly pinpointing the intended edit location. We propose Tap&Say, a novel multimod…
