Emotion in Smart Buildings: Can Affective Interaction Shape Smart Agenda in Architecture?

Smart building design has predominantly focused on interactive experiences that enhance human comfort across measurable dimensions, namely thermal, respiratory, visual, and acoustic comfort. In contrast, architectural practices attend to inhabitation as subjective, situated, lived, and socially embedded experiences. T…

Zenergy: Designing Taoist-Inspired Transformative Nature Imagery for Everyday Empowerment

Nature has long been valued for its restorative impact on emotion and well-being, motivating many HCI systems to incorporate nature as a calming design material. However, cultural traditions such as Taoism frame nature not as passive, but as an active, symbolic force for emotional transformation. We present Zenergy, a…

Do Children Trust AI, and Should They? Designing and Validating a Child-Centred K-AI Trust Scale for Intelligent Systems

Most trust metrics for intelligent systems are developed for adults, relying on complex reasoning and language that do not align with children’s developmental stages. As intelligent systems increasingly engage with young users, evaluating trust in child-AI interaction has become an urgent concern in HCI. In this paper…

Staring at Tables: Exploring Conceptual Data Modeling as a Rich Collaborative Activity

Conceptual data modeling is a central activity in data work, yet how such models are created remains understudied. While data attributes play a key role, modeling is also shaped by tasks, tools, developers’ prior experiences, and often unfolds collaboratively between diverse stakeholders. In this study, we invited 22…

Script-Strategy Aligned Generation: Aligning LLMs with Expert-Crafted Dialogue Scripts and Therapeutic Strategies for Psychotherapy

Chatbots or conversational agents (CAs) are increasingly used to improve access to digital psychotherapy. Many current systems rely on rigid, rule-based designs, heavily dependent on expert-crafted dialogue scripts for guiding therapeutic conversations. Although advances in large language models (LLMs) offer potential…

Designing Multisensory Biophilic Futures: Exploring the Potential of Interaction Design to Deepen Human Connections With Nature in Indoor Environments

Advances in interaction design, architecture, and artificial intelligence offer new possibilities for built environments. Yet, systems focus on improving physical parameters such as indoor air quality. While these enhance physical comfort, they often overlook an innate aspect of human experience-our connection with na…

Let's Influence Algorithms Together: How Millions of Fans Build Collective Understanding of Algorithms and Organize Coordinated Algorithmic Actions

Previous research pays attention to how users strategically understand and consciously interact with algorithms but mainly focuses on an individual level, making it difficult to explore how users within communities could develop a collective understanding of algorithms and organize collective algorithmic actions. Thro…

What Do We Design for When We Design "Smart Buildings"? - A Scoping Review of Human Experience Design Research in Buildings

Built environments increasingly incorporate new forms of intelligence, creating opportunities for enhancing human interactive experiences with and within building spaces. This scoping review examines design interventions and discourses within the domain of "Smart Buildings". The goal is to identify and characterise th…

Super Kawaii Vocalics: Amplifying the “Cute” Factor in Computer Voice

"Kawaii" is the Japanese concept of cute, which carries sociocultural connotations related to social identities and emotional responses. Yet, virtually all work to date has focused on the visual side of kawaii, including in studies of computer agents and social robots. In pursuit of formalizing the new science of kawa…

"Python is for girls!": Masculinity, Femininity, and Queering Inclusion at Hackathons

This paper explores how queerness intersects with hackathon culture, reinforcing or challenging its masculine norms. By utilizing autoethnographic insights from seven UK hackathons, it reveals that while queerness is visibly celebrated, inclusion remains conditional—accepted only when it aligns with masculine-coded te…
