CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research +2

Virtual Perspectives: Effects of Spatial Presence and Agency on Affective and Cognitive Virtual Reality Perspective-Taking

Perspective-taking supports empathy, bias reduction, and social cognition, and virtual reality (VR) promises to facilitate it by immersing users into simulated perspectives. Yet, how VR qualities, such as spatial presence and agency, influence -- and potentially enhance -- perspective-taking remains unclear. We co…

CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research +2

A Faster VR Body to Speed Up Choices

A VR body can move faster than its user, making actions like reaching more efficient. We propose a VR body that not only moves faster during reaching, but also starts moving before the user has decided which target to reach for. However, it is unclear whether such a VR body would speed up choices, since moving towards…

CHI '26Identity & Avatars in XR +2

A Design Space of Virtual Bodies: Their Types, Effects, and Theoretical Foundations

In virtual reality, users are typically represented by and interact through a virtual body. Research frequently manipulates different features of these bodies. We analyze 208 studies to identify what aspects of virtual bodies are manipulated, how these manipulations affect interaction and other outcomes, and why they…

CHI '26Museum & Cultural Heritage Digitization +1

Digitizing the Dead: Understanding ‘Data Hauntings’ to Support Equitable Data Work with Human Remains

Thousands of human remains are stored in museums and collections worldwide. But while their collection, handling and display are increasingly subjected to ethical guidelines and regulations, institutional guidelines and research on their digitization are scarce. This study explores the challenges and opportunities of…

CHI '26Conversational Chatbots +2

Polite But Boring? Trade-offs Between Engagement and Psychological Reactance to Chatbot Feedback Styles

As conversational agents become increasingly common in behaviour change interventions, understanding optimal feedback delivery mechanisms becomes increasingly important. However, choosing a style that both lessens psychological reactance (perceived threats to freedom) while simultaneously eliciting feelings of surpris…

CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research +2

From Movement Adaptation to De Novo Learning: A Design Space of VR Interaction Techniques

VR interaction techniques define mappings between physical movements and virtual outcomes. While some mappings are learned through the adaptation of existing movement strategies, others require acquiring entirely new control policies. Drawing on motor learning theory, we introduce a design space that organizes these m…

CHI '26Honorable MentionResearch Ethics & Open Science +2

On the Computational Reproducibility of Human-Computer Interaction

An increasing number of HCI researchers have embraced open science ideas, such as sharing data and analysis code. However, such practices are only meaningful when the shared data and code enable other researchers to reproduce and reuse the reported findings. To investigate the reproducibility of HCI research, we ident…

CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research +2

Experiencing Change: A Scoping Review of Behavior Change with Extended Reality

Despite decades of research, behavior change technologies remain limited in effectiveness because they mainly focus on offering information. Immersive technologies, such as extended, virtual, and augmented reality, promise to address this limitation by shifting from information-centric to experience-centric interventi…

CHI '26Participatory Design +2

What We Talk About When We Talk About Frameworks in HCI

In HCI, frameworks function as a type of theoretical contribution, often supporting ideation, design, and evaluation. Yet, little is known about how they are actually used, what functions they serve, and which scholarly practices that shape them. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review of 615 papers f…

CHI '26Health Self-Tracking +2

Design for Dis/Ability: A Crip Inquiry into Personal Energy Tracking

This study explores the phenomenon of energy and self-tracking technologies, moving beyond the context of managing chronic conditions. Our approach to designing from the experiences of people with disability is informed by crip theory, which challenges societal norms of health and ability. We analysed 50 survey respon…
