Vistoryteller: Designing Data Stories with LLM Agent-Based Generation and Interactive User Control

Data stories that combine data, visualizations, and prose are widely used for communication, decision making, and persuasion, but producing them typically requires coordinated effort across specialized roles such as analysts, scripters, and designers, which is time consuming and difficult to manage. Existing AI-assist…

CHI '26Privacy by Design & User Control +2

PrivWeb: Unobtrusive and Content-aware Privacy Protection For Web Agents

While web agents gained popularity by automating web interactions, their requirement for interface access introduces privacy risks that are understudied, particularly from users' perspective. Through a formative study (N=15), we found that users frequently misunderstand agent data practices, and desire unobtrusive, tr…

HCI for Agroecology: Agri-Tech between Grassroots and Capitalism

Digital technologies in agriculture are typically portrayed as enabling more sustainable production while increasing productivity. Yet, commercial solutions rarely address the root causes of unsustainable farming, limiting the uptake of more radical solutions such as agroecology. We conducted fieldwork on 11 UK small-…

AI Personalization Paradox: Reading Highlights for Personalized AI-Assisted Writing Increases Engagement but Undermines Autonomy and Ownership

AI-assisted writing raises concerns about autonomy and ownership when benefiting writers. Personalization has been proposed as an effective solution while also risking writers' reliance on AI and behavior shifting. For better personalization design, existing studies rely on interaction and information solely within th…

Exploring the Impact of Sensory Conflict on State Mindfulness in VR Meditation Training

VR mindfulness meditation has been widely used for stress reduction and psychological rehabilitation owing to its immersion and controllability. However, the common static-body with visual-movement paradigm often disrupts the natural coordination between vision, vestibular sense, and proprioception, inducing sensory c…

CHI '26Automated Driving Interface & Takeover Design +2

Adaptive Bounded-Rationality Modeling of Early-Stage Takeover in Shared-Control Driving

Human drivers’ control quality in the first seconds after a handover is critical to shared-driving safety; potentially unsafe steering or pedal inputs therefore require detection and correction by the automated vehicle’s safety-fallback system. Yet performance in this window is vulnerable because cognitive states fluc…

CHI '26Participatory Design +3

All Futures at Once: Supporting Speculative Design for Placemaking with Multi-Agent Social Simulation

Placemaking transforms physical spaces into socially meaningful places, with long-term impacts depending on how future communities inhabit and interact with them. Speculative design helps envision such futures, yet existing approaches often produce static representations that emphasize spatial form over evolving activ…

CHI '26Multilingual & Cross-Cultural Voice Interaction +2

ChatLearn: Leveraging Non-Native Speaker Communication Challenges as Language Learning Opportunities

Non-native speakers (NNSs) face significant language barriers in multilingual communication with native speakers (NSs). While AI-mediated communication (AIMC) tools offer efficient one-time assistance, they often overlook opportunities for NNSs' continuous language acquisition. We introduce ChatLearn, an enhanced AIMC…

CHI '26Data Physicalization +1

From Touch to Change: Understanding Public Engagement in Data Physicalization for Social Good

Data physicalization, which encodes data in physical form, has been increasingly used to engage the public with issues of social good. While public engagement is often invoked as a motivation or expected outcome, it has not been systematically examined as a design objective. This gap raises two key challenges: what ch…

When LLMs Enter Everyday Feminism on Chinese Social Media: Opportunities and Risks for Women’s Empowerment

Everyday digital feminism refers to the ordinary, often pragmatic ways women articulate lived experiences and cultivate solidarity in online spaces. In China, such practices flourish on RedNote through discussions under hashtags like ''women's growth''. Recently, DeepSeek-generated content has been taken up as a new v…
