IUI '26Voice User Interface (VUI) Design +3

SIA: A Framework for Context-Aware Intent Clarification in Speech-Driven Immersive Analytics

The rise of generative AI has increased attention to voice interfaces. In immersive analytics, we conceptualize this trend as Speech-driven Immersive Analytics. While speech interfaces enable natural interactions, users, especially novices, still face a learning curve in articulating analytic intent and exploring data…

CHI '26Empowerment of Marginalized Groups +2

ROOTED in Us: A Framework for Cultivating Community Ecosystems through Relationships and Data

As data becomes integral to civic processes and resource distribution, there is a need for methods in which communities generate, interpret, and act on data to address their priorities. We introduce ROOTED (Reclaiming and Organizing Our Truths for Equity through Data), a community-centered framework grounded in Black…

CHI '26Visual Impairment Technologies (Screen Readers, Tactile Graphics, Braille) +3

As Content and Layout Co-Evolve: TangibleSite for Scaffolding Blind People’s Webpage Design through Multimodal Interaction

Creating webpages requires generating content and arranging layout while iteratively refining both to achieve a coherent design, a process that can be challenging for blind individuals. To understand how blind designers navigate this process, we conducted two rounds of co-design sessions with blind participants, using…

CHI '26Honorable MentionAging-Friendly Technology Design +2

Interrogating the “Us” Versus “Them” Dichotomy in Technology Research with Older Adults

Research on technology for older people focuses on older people’s experiences–and understandably so. However, the phenomena of othering, or seeing this group as different and worse off, is a persistent problem. In this project, we turned inwards through an 8-month collaborative autoethnography to understand our own ex…

CHI '26Privacy by Design & User Control +3

From A to Zines: Narrative Threat Modeling in U.S. Reproductive Health Media

Post-Roe, people capable of pregnancy face fragmented reproductive privacy landscapes in the United States (U.S.), with risks spanning legal, digital, and interpersonal domains. These conditions demand new forms of privacy guidance. We analyzed 212 reproductive health zines—a DIY, subversive, and collectively produced…

CHI '26Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) +3

I, Robot? Exploring Ultra-Personalized AI-Powered AAC; an Autoethnographic Account

Generic AI auto-complete for message composition often fails to capture the nuance of personal identity, requiring editing. While harmless in low-stakes settings, for users of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, who rely on such systems to communicate, this burden is severe. Intuitively, the need…

CHI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

Hybrid LLM-Embedded Dialogue Agents for Learner Reflection: Designing Responsive and Theory-Driven Interactions

Dialogue systems have long supported learner reflections, with theoretically grounded, rule-based designs offering structured scaffolding but often struggling to respond to shifts in engagement. Large Language Models (LLMs), in contrast, can generate context-sensitive responses but are not informed by decades of resea…

CHI '26Social & Collaborative VR +3

"Even though you feel like it's good, it isn't": Surfacing the Ethical Priorities of Powerful Male Youth Targeted for Racial Oppression through Evaluating and Co-Designing XR Utopian and Dystopian Use Cases

Extended reality (XR) technologies have become more advanced and affordable in recent years, leading to greater familiarity and adoption among US families and youth-serving institutions. While these tools show promise in enhancing children’s education, healthcare, and recreation, ethical considerations around safety,…

CHI '26Honorable MentionInclusive Design +2

Belonging in the Making: Investigating Inclusive Makerspace Design for Youth with Autism

Makerspaces offer opportunities for creative and technology-rich learning, yet their design often overlooks the needs of youth with autism. While inclusive education research has emphasized structured teaching and multimodal engagement, less is known about how spatial, sensory, and cultural factors intersect with peda…

CHI '26Empowerment of Marginalized Groups +3

“We Figure It Out Together”: A Framework for Relational Communication in Disabled and Neurodivergent LGBTQIA+ Romantic Partnerships

Disabled and neurodivergent LGBTQIA+ individuals often co-create adaptive communication practices within their romantic partnerships; however, little is known about how these strategies evolve over time. We present findings from a diary and co-design study with five disabled LGBTQIA+ partnerships, documenting how comm…
