IUI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

From Narrative to Numbers: Evaluating Survey Questionnaires with Large Language Models

As the field of intelligent interfaces is evolving, there is also a growing need for feedback mechanisms that are both expressive for participants and also contain reliable and useful information for the researcher conducting the study for survey data collection. Our study involves exploring two different kinds of sur…

ARIA: Toward Human-Centered Embodied AI Instruction in Real-Time Augmented Reality

Advances in artificial intelligence and embodied interaction in augmented reality (AR) are creating new opportunities for intelligent instructional systems that dynamically adapt to individual learners. However, sustaining real-time responsiveness while preserving natural, socially meaningful interaction remains a per…

Think Twice: Improving Privacy Awareness with Tailored LLM-Powered Interventions

With the widespread sharing of photos on social media, increasing users’ awareness and encouraging privacy consideration of such sharing is critical. This study investigates the potential of large language models (LLMs) to support users in identifying possible interpersonal privacy violations prior to posting images o…

Why Creators Break Rules: Quantitative Evidence on Moral Disengagement and Self-Control

Social video platforms such as YouTube and Twitch increasingly moderate noncompliant video content, yet we know little about what psychological factors drive creators to produce such videos. Drawing on theories of self-control and moral disengagement, we examine how self-control and moral disengagement influence creat…

Privacy Control in Conversational LLM Platforms: A Walkthrough Study

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into daily life through conversational interfaces, processing user data via natural language inputs and exhibiting advanced reasoning capabilities, which raises new concerns about user control over privacy. While much research has focused on potential privacy ri…

CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research

Effects of Virtual Reality System Fidelity on Presence using the Fidelity-based Presence Scale

Numerous studies have investigated the effects of system fidelity as a whole on one’s total sense of presence in virtual reality (VR). The Fidelity-based Presence Scale (FPS), a recently introduced presence questionnaire, provides a method for investigating the effects of different system fidelities (interaction, scen…

The Personalization Paradox: Trade-offs Between Social Presence and Task Efficiency in Embodied AR Instructors

Large language models continue to become utilized in training situations to power embodied virtual instructors in Mixed Reality (MR). As these models increase in sophistication, a key question emerges: does designing an agent with similarity to the instructee improve outcomes? We present a user study with four guided…

CHI '26Social & Collaborative VR +2

From One World to Another: Interfaces for Efficiently Transitioning Between Virtual Environments

Personal computers and handheld devices provide keyboard shortcuts and swipe gestures to enable users to efficiently switch between applications, whereas today's virtual reality (VR) systems do not. In this work, we present an exploratory study on user interface aspects to support efficient switching between worlds in…

CSCW '25Supporting Youth

Building a Village: A Multi-stakeholder Approach to Open Innovation and Shared Governance to Promote Youth Online Safety

The SIGCHI and Social Computing research communities have been at the forefront of online safety efforts for youth, ranging from understanding the serious risks youth face online to developing evidence-based interventions for risk protection. Yet, to bring these efforts to bear, we must partner with practitioners, suc…

CUI '25Social & Collaborative VR +1

Mitigating Response Delays in Free-Form Conversations with LLM-powered Intelligent Virtual Agents

We investigated the challenges of mitigating response delays in free-form conversations with virtual agents powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) within Virtual Reality (VR). For this, we used conversational fillers, such as gestures and verbal cues, to bridge delays between user input and system responses and evalu…
