IUI '25Interactive Data Visualization +1

The Effects of Customisation on the Usability of Visual Analytics Dashboards: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Visual analytics dashboards have become key tools for decision-making. Yet, information overload and high expectations of the actual graph literacy of users hinder their effective use. Customisation features such as global filters (filters that update all views), visualisation hiding, and graph switching have been pro…

Effects of Alternative Scatterplot Designs on Belief

Viewers tend to underestimate correlation in positively correlated scatterplots. However, systematically changing the size and opacity of scatterplot points can bias estimates upwards, correcting for this underestimation. Here, we examine whether the application of these visualisation techniques goes beyond a simple p…

CHI '25Honorable MentionSocial Platform Design & User Behavior +2

Queer Joy on Social Media: Exploring the Expression and Facilitation of Queer Joy in Online Platforms

Queer Joy is conceptualised as a form of resistance to oppression by celebrating queerness in the face of adversity. This research aimed to centre queer joy and understand how it is expressed and may be facilitated in online spaces. To do this we conducted a survey with 100 UK participants who indicated they identifie…

Pixel Memories: Do Lifelog Summaries Fail to Enhance Memory but Offer Privacy-Aware Memory Assessments?

We explore the metaphorical "daily memory pill" concept – a brief pictorial lifelog recap aimed at reviving and preserving memories. Leveraging psychological strategies, we explore the potential of such summaries to boost autobiographical memory. We developed an automated lifelogging memory prosthesis and a research…

CHI '24Elderly Care & Dementia Support

Mnemosyne - Supporting Reminiscence for Individuals with Dementia in Residential Care Settings

Reminiscence is known to play an important part in helping to mitigate the effects of dementia. Within the HCI community, work has typically focused on supporting reminiscence at an individual or social level but less attention has been given to supporting reminiscence in residential care settings. This lack of resear…

Effects of Point Size and Opacity Adjustments in Scatterplots

Systematically changing the size and opacity of points on scatterplots can be used to induce more accurate perceptions of correlation by viewers. Evidence points to the mechanisms behind these effects being similar, so one may expect their combination to be additive regarding their effects on correlation estimation. W…

FARPLS: A Feature-Augmented Robot Trajectory Preference Labeling System to Assist Human Labelers’ Preference Elicitation

Preference-based learning aims to align robot task objectives with human values. One of the most common methods to infer human preferences is by pairwise comparisons of robot task trajectories. Traditional comparison-based preference labeling systems seldom support labelers to digest and identify critical differences…

DIS '20Uncertainty Visualization +1

The Role of Uncertainty as a Facilitator to Reflection in Self-Tracking

Self-trackers reflect on their personal data to understand their behaviour and plan accordingly. Often, this reflection involves uncertainty, which can affect decision-making. To better understand the role of uncertainty, we conducted an interview study to comprehend how uncertainty influences reflection and the resul…

HRI '20Human Pose & Activity Recognition +2

Do humans imitate robots? An investigation of strategic social learning in Human-Robot Interaction.

Theories on social learning indicate that imitative choices are usually performed whenever copying the others’ behaviour has no additional cost. Here, we extended such investigations of social learning to Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Participants played the Economic Investment Game with a robot banker while observin…
