CHI '26Mid-Air Haptics (Ultrasonic) +2

Modelling Visuo-Haptic Perception Change in Size Estimation Tasks

Tangible interactions involve multiple sensory cues, enabling the accurate perception of object properties, such as size. Research has shown, however, that if we decouple these cues (for example, by altering the visual cue), then the resulting discrepancies present new opportunities for interactions. Perception over t…

Explainable Moderation in Multiplayer Games: Player Responses to Explanations of an Automated Temporary Ban

The opaqueness of moderation systems can leave offenders of toxic behaviour disaffected and without recourse for change. We examined whether explainability, the means by which an automated system explains its decisions, can improve player responses to automated moderation decisions within the context of multiplayer ga…

CHI '26Social Platform Design & User Behavior +2

Influencers vs. Legacy Media on Instagram: Effects on Perceived Credibility and Following Intention

Social media has blurred the line between professional journalism and personality-driven commentary, yet we know little about how users evaluate credibility and engage with news from influencers and legacy media when they appear in the same feed. This short paper investigates how political ideology and news source typ…

CHI '26Misinformation & Fact-Checking +1

Timing Matters: Designing Effective Corrections for Short-Form Video Misinformation

Short-form video platforms have become major channels for misinformation, with their rich multimodal features making false claims highly believable. HCI research shows that providing corrections in the same modality as the misinformation can be an effective solution. However, since corrections and misinformation conve…

Narratives and Perspectives: How AI Summaries Steer Users' Opinions and Engagement on Social Media

AI summaries on social media are reshaping how users form opinions about political topics, yet their influence remains largely unexamined despite their widespread deployment. This paper investigates how two types of AI summaries affect user opinions and engagement: textual summaries of discussion narratives and percen…

CHI '26Social & Collaborative VR +2

StylusPort: Investigating Teleportation using Stylus in VR

With a stylus, users can both sweep sketches across models and pinpoint locations with precision. Building on this dual capability, we explore how teleportation can be integrated into stylus interaction without disrupting the flow of common stylus usage. We introduce two key ideas: flipping the stylus as an intuitive…

CHI '26Best PaperBrain-Computer Interface (BCI) & Neurofeedback +2

AI Sensing and Intervention in Higher Education: Student Perceptions of Learning Impacts, Affective Responses, and Ethical Priorities

AI technologies that sense student attention and emotions to enable more personalised teaching interventions are increasingly promoted, but raise pressing questions about student learning, wellbeing, and ethics. In particular, students’ perspectives about AI sensing-intervention in learning are often overlooked. We co…

CHI '26Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) +2

Building Resilience in Human–Robot Collaboration: Affective and Cognitive Feedback from Robot for Human-Initiated Failure Handling

Human–robot collaboration increasingly frames robots as teammates rather than tools, yet there is limited guidance on how robots should respond when failures are attributed to the human collaborator. We investigate how robot collaborators should respond to support collaboration experience after a human-attributed fail…

CHI '26Human-Nature Relationships (More-than-Human Design) +2

"I'm here to see nature, not spend more time on my phone!": A Study of Technological Obtrusiveness and How it is Managed in an Urban Nature Setting

Although people often visit places of nature to disconnect from technology, increasingly digital tools are shaping these experiences. To better understand how technologies might become obtrusive in nature settings, and how people manage such obtrusiveness, we conducted a field study of 30 adults visiting an urban natu…

CHI '26Eye Tracking & Gaze Interaction +2

Gaze and Speech in Multimodal Human-Computer Interaction: A Scoping Review

Multimodal interaction has long promised to make interfaces more intuitive and effective by combining complementary inputs. Among these, gaze and speech form a compelling pairing: gaze provides rapid spatial grounding, while speech conveys rich semantic information. Together, they offer rich cues for understanding use…
