CHI '26Digital Art Installations & Interactive Performance +2

Somatic Drawing Tool: 3D Body Sheet as Material for Articulating Synaesthetic Experiences

We present a participatory co-design cycle that studied synaesthesia, a cross-sensory phenomenon where one stimulus automatically triggers another perception. We worked with a community of synaesthetes to develop and evaluate an interactive technology to depict and communicate synaesthetic experience. By working with…

Uncertainty and Risk at the Point of Care: Implications of Patient-Generated ECGs and Algorithmic Interpretations for Clinical Decision Making

Wearables enable users to generate electrocardiogram (ECG) data and receive algorithmic rhythm interpretations. While cardiologists increasingly use this data, little is known about how point-of-care clinicians perceive and anticipate using it. These clinicians are the main point of contact for many patients and deter…

Design Opportunities at the Intersection of Sexual and Reproductive Health, Cystic Fibrosis, and Technology

Sex differences in cystic fibrosis (CF) affect symptom manifestation, severity, and life expectancy. Female hormonal fluctuations, both cyclical and lifelong, can exacerbate lung function issues, increase susceptibility to chronic infections, and lead to earlier mortality. With recent advances in modulator therapy, pe…

"I don't want to break it": An Exploration of Perceived Fragility in Shape-Changing Interfaces

Shape-changing interfaces (SCIs) dynamically alter their form, an inherent characteristic that introduces fragility into their design. As a result, users’ perceptions of an interface’s fragility or its potential to move or break may influence their interaction, however the extent of this effect is unclear. To address…

CHI '26Thermal & Temperature Interaction +2

Constructing the Thermal Affective Design Space for Emotion Regulation: An Autoethnographic Research Through Design Inquiry

Temperature has strong potential to mediate emotion in a range of contexts; augmenting sensory experience and/or supporting emotion regulation. Hence, there is growing interest in leveraging thermal cues for affective technologies. At present, however, the design space for thermal technologies for emotion regulation…

Feeling the Flavour: Exploring Children's Touch–Taste Correspondences and Willingness to Try Unknown Foods for Child–Food Interaction Design

How can we leverage taste expectations to create novel food-based experiences for children? Eating is an embodied process that jointly engages with multiple senses. Cross-sensory correspondences may offer educational and recreational opportunities to design interactive applications that encourage diversifying encounte…

triMorph: Bridging Shape-Change and Cross-Sensory Correspondences for Haptic Interaction

Cross-sensory correspondences provide opportunities for designing rich sensory HCI, with prior work showing that features such as roundness and sharpness are systematically linked to language, color, sound, and emotion. Yet two challenges remain: few technologies can dynamically transition between these features, and…

Beyond Accuracy: Auditing Allocative Harms in Facial-Gesture Recognition for People with Motor Impairments

Camera-based facial-gesture interfaces offer hands-free access for people with motor impairments (PwM), yet most recognition models are trained on able-bodied data and implicitly assume normative motor control and proprioception. We conducted a mixed-methods empirical study of 37 above-neck gestures performed by 11 Pw…

Let's Make a Community [of Practice]: Using Community-Based Participatory Design to Support Interdependence

In line with the shift toward dementia-friendly communities, HCI research is increasingly exploring holistic ways to support people living with dementia as active community members. However, less is known about how existing community networks influence technology design and effectiveness. This paper analyses Community…

Rough Meanings: Cross-sensory correspondences linking surface textures with sound symbolism, colours, and emotions

Surface textures play a critical role in shaping interaction with tangible and multisensory technologies, yet little is known about how their microstructural features influence cognitive and affective responses - factors central to interface design. We investigated this through cross-sensory correspondences of texture…
