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

Enhancing Generative AI Image Refinement with Scribbles and Annotations: A Comparative Study of Multimodal Prompts

Generative AI (GenAI) image tools are increasingly used in design practice, enabling rapid ideation but offering limited support for refinement tasks such as adjusting layout, scale, or visual attributes. While text prompts and inpainting allow localized edits, they often remain inefficient or ambiguous for precise, i…

CHI '26Identity & Avatars in XR +2

The Role of Personality of Conversational Virtual Avatars on Proxemic Behaviour during Indoor Navigation

As LLM-based Conversational Avatars increasingly act as collaborators in hybrid indoor navigation, understanding how their personality traits influence human-avatar proxemic behavior is becoming crucial. Prior work has largely examined personality effects in static or one-sided interactions such as sitting, standing,…

With, not For: Co-Designing a Patient-Facing AI Companion Concept for the Emergency Department Waiting Area

Emergency departments (EDs) often experience overcrowding, staff shortages, and long waiting times, which put a strain on clinicians and negatively impact patients' experiences. Although AI is commonly proposed to optimize clinical workflows, the perspectives of patients are often overlooked in AI design. We report…

Anticipating Physical Processes in VR: Environment Type and Scale Alter Temporal Expectations

Accurate temporal expectations support interaction in virtual reality (VR), yet it remains unclear whether the internal models that guide such expectations in the real world transfer unchanged to immersive VR. We report two experiments examining expected durations of gravity-driven motion across real and virtual envir…

CHI '25AI Ethics, Fairness & Accountability +2

The Role of Expertise in Effectively Moderating Harmful Social Media Content

Social media platforms played a significant role in spreading genocidal content in the 2020-2022 Tigray war, where the deadliest genocide of the 21st century was committed. While linguistic expertise is clearly needed to adequately moderate such content, we ask: What additional expertise is needed? Why and to what ext…

Lost in Moderation: How Commercial Content Moderation APIs Over- and Under-Moderate Group-Targeted Hate Speech and Linguistic Variations

Commercial content moderation APIs are marketed as scalable solutions to combat online hate speech. However, the reliance on these APIs risks both silencing legitimate speech, called over-moderation, and failing to protect online platforms from harmful speech, known as under-moderation. To assess such risks, this pape…

The Making of Performative Accuracy in AI Training: Precision Labor and Its Consequences

Accuracy and precision are central values in the AI communities and the technology sector. This paper provides empirical evidence on the construction and organizational management of technical accuracy, demonstrating how technology companies' preoccupation with such values leads to harm. Drawing on nine months of mult…

Who is Trusted for a Second Opinion? Comparing Collective Advice from a Medical AI and Physicians in Biopsy Decisions After Mammography Screening

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into clinical practice, but its influence on patient decision-making, particularly when AI and physicians disagree, remains unclear. To examine collective advice, we investigated a breast cancer screening scenario using (1) a qualitative interview study (N=9) and…

UIST '24Full-Body Interaction & Embodied Input +2

Predicting the Limits: Tailoring Unnoticeable Hand Redirection Offsets in Virtual Reality to Individuals’ Perceptual Boundaries

Many illusion and interaction techniques in Virtual Reality (VR) rely on Hand Redirection (HR), which has proved to be effective as long as the introduced offsets between the position of the real and virtual hand do not noticeably disturb the user experience. Yet calibrating HR offsets is a tedious and time-consuming…

Ghost Readers of the Nile: Decrypting Password Sharing Habits in Chatting Applications among Egyptian Women

Password sharing is a convenient means to access shared resources, save on subscription costs, provide emergency access, and avoid forgetting vital account details. However, it also raises significant privacy concerns, especially in digital communication contexts where content may be inadvertently exposed to unintende…
