CHI '26Honorable MentionPasswords & Authentication +2

Moving Beyond Passwords: Investigating the Effect of Digital Nudges on Passkey Adoption

Passwords suffer from major usability hurdles that foster insecure practices and undermine cybersecurity. Passkeys were introduced to address these issues, however, adoption remains low. Digital nudges offer a promising way to accelerate passkey adoption, yet research lacks empirical insight about when to nudge and wh…

CHI '26Cybersecurity Training & Awareness +2

T1GER: An Instructional Re-Design of a Cyber Range Exercise in a Commercial Security Operations Center

The workforce shortage in Security Operation Centers (SOCs) increases the need for effective training methods for aspiring cybersecurity analysts. Cyber ranges provide realistic environments for such training, yet many designs prioritize technical infrastructure while overlooking how trainees actually learn. Building…

CHI '26Touchscreen Usability & Performance Modeling (Fitts' Law) +1

Effects of Small Latency Variations in 2D Target Selection Tasks

Systems' latency — the time between user input and system response — slows down the human-computer interaction loop. Several studies revealed negative objective and subjective effects of high latency, typically treating latency as a constant delay. Because latency varies significantly in practice, recent work also ass…

CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research +1

Anticipating Physical Processes in VR: Environment Type and Scale Alter Temporal Expectations

Accurate temporal expectations support interaction in virtual reality (VR), yet it remains unclear whether the internal models that guide such expectations in the real world transfer unchanged to immersive VR. We report two experiments examining expected durations of gravity-driven motion across real and virtual envir…

Moving Beyond the Simulator: Interaction-Based Drunk Driving Detection in a Real Vehicle Using Driver Monitoring Cameras and Real-Time Vehicle Data

Alcohol consumption poses a significant public health challenge, presenting serious risks to individual health and contributing to over 700 daily road fatalities worldwide. Digital interventions can play a crucial role in reducing these risks. However, reliable drunk driving detection systems are vital to effectively…

CHI '25Visualization Perception & Cognition +1

Cognitive Integration of Delays: Anticipated System Delays Slow Down User Actions

There are inevitably delays between user actions and system responses, which can increase task completion times. However, it remains unclear whether this is solely due to waiting times and compensation strategies, or whether users further slow down their actions because these delays become integrated into their cognit…

CHI '25Identity & Avatars in XR +1

Investigating the Impact of Customized Avatars and the Proteus Effect during Physical Exercise in Virtual Reality

Virtual reality (VR) allows to embody avatars. Coined the Proteus effect, an avatar's visual appearance can influence users' behavior and perception. Recent work suggests that athletic avatars decrease perceptual and physiological responses during VR exercise. However, such effects can fail to occur when users do not…

CHI '24Honorable MentionForce Feedback & Pseudo-Haptic Weight

MobileGravity: Mobile Simulation of a High Range of Weight in Virtual Reality

Simulating accurate weight forces in Virtual Reality (VR) is an unsolved challenge. Therefore, providing real weight sensations by transferring liquid mass has emerged as a promising approach. However, key objectives conceptually interfere with each other. In particular, previous designs that support a high range of w…

CUI '23Conversational Chatbots +2

Towards Cross-Content Conversational Agents for Behaviour Change: Investigating Domain Independence and the Role of Lexical Features in Written Language Around Change

Valuable insights into an individual's current thoughts and stance regarding behaviour change can be obtained by analysing the language they use, which can be conceptualized using Motivational Interviewing concepts. Training conversational agents (CAs) to detect and employ these concepts could help them provide more p…

CHI '23Immersion & Presence Research +1

The Effects of Avatar and Environment on Thermal Perception and Skin Temperature in Virtual Reality

Humans' thermal regulation and subjective perception of temperature is highly plastic and depends on the visual appearance of the surrounding environment. Previous work shows that an environment’s color temperature affects the experienced temperature. As virtual reality (VR) enables visual immersion, recent work sugge…
