CHI '26Interactive Data Visualization +3

Challenges in Synchronous & Remote Collaboration Around Visualization

We characterize 16 challenges faced by those investigating and developing remote and synchronous collaborative experiences around visualization. Our work reflects the perspectives and prior research efforts of an international group of 29 experts from across human-computer interaction and visualization sub-communities…

Empower Real-World BCIs with NIRS-X: An Adaptive Learning Framework that Harnesses Unlabeled Brain Signals

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hold promise for future interactive user interfaces due to their ease of deployment and declining cost. However, they typically require a separate calibration process for each user and task, which can be burdensome. Machine learning h…

CHI '21AI Ethics, Fairness & Accountability +2

To Live in Their Utopia: Why Algorithmic Systems Create Absurd Outcomes

The promise AI's proponents have made for decades is one in which our needs are predicted, anticipated, and met - often before we even realize it. Instead, algorithmic systems, particularly AIs trained on large datasets and deployed to massive scales, seem to keep making the wrong decisions, causing harm and reward…

DIS '20Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +3

Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning to Increase Video Accessibility for Visually Impaired and Blind Users

Video accessibility is crucial for blind and visually impaired individuals for education, employment, and entertainment purposes. However, professional video descriptions are costly and time-consuming. Volunteer-created video descriptions could be a promising alternative, however, they can vary in quality and can be i…

CHI '19Honorable MentionImmersion & Presence Research +1

Investigating Implicit Gender Bias and Embodiment of White Males in Virtual Reality with Full Body Visuomotor Synchrony

Previous research has shown that when White people embody a black avatar in virtual reality (VR) with full body visuomotor synchrony, this can reduce their implicit racial bias. In this paper, we put men in female and male avatars in VR with full visuomotor synchrony using wearable trackers and investigated implicit g…

CHI '18Aging-Friendly Technology Design +1

Designing Technology for an Aging Population

This course describes age-related factors that affect older adults’ ability to use digital technology, and present design guidelines that reflect older adults’ varied capabilities, usage patterns, and preferences. The course also describes the value of conducting usability tests with older adults, and how to do that…

CHI '18Knowledge Worker Tools & Workflows +1

Designing with the Mind in Mind: The Psychological Basis for UI Design Guidelines

UI design rules and guidelines are not simple recipes. Applying them effectively requires determining rule applicability and precedence and balancing trade-offs when rules compete. By understanding the underlying psychology, designers and evaluators enhance their ability to apply design rules. This two-part (160-min…

CHI '18Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) & Neurofeedback +1

Brain-Computer Interfaces for Artistic Expression

Artists have been using BCIs for artistic expression since the 1960s. Their interest and creativity is now increasing because of the availability of affordable BCI devices and software that does not require them to invest extensive time in getting the BCI to work or tuning it to their application. Designers of artisti…

CHI '18Interactive Data Visualization +1

Using Animation to Alleviate Overdraw in Multiclass Scatterplot Matrices

The scatterplot matrix (SPLOM) is a commonly used technique for visualizing multiclass multivariate data. However, multiclass SPLOMs have issues with overdraw (overlapping points), and most existing techniques for alleviating overdraw focus on individual scatterplots with a single class. This paper explores whether an…
