IUI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +3

From Prompt to Presence: Co-Creating Personalised Emotional Sanctuaries in VR with Generative AI

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), combined with immersive virtual reality (VR), enables the rapid creation of personalised virtual content from simple text prompts, holding potential for emotional support. However, most current VR systems rely on pre-authored content and limit user agency…

CHI '26Immersion & Presence Research +2

Less is More! Visual Suppression for Bottom-up and Top-down Attention in Dynamic Environments

Dynamic virtual environments pose growing challenges for users who must manage attention across competing visual elements, where distractors can divert focus from relevant objects in these scenarios. Because human attention functions as a filter, it is shaped by competing influences from bottom-up salience and top-dow…

CHI '26Smart Home Privacy & Security +2

Investigating Bystander Privacy in Chinese Smart Home Apps

Bystander privacy in smart homes has been widely studied in Western contexts, yet it remains underexplored in non-Western countries such as China. In this study, we analyze 49 Chinese smart home apps using a mixed-methods approach, including privacy policy review, UX/UI evaluation, and assessment of Apple App Store pr…

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…

AI of Oz: Enhancing Wizard of Oz Studies in HCI with AI Assistance for Human Moderation

The Wizard of Oz (WoZ) method is a common and popular approach for simulating interactive systems in Human-Computer Interaction. Running such studies is demanding for researchers because the human wizard must manage human–agent interactions in real time while keeping participants safe and the interaction natural. Many…

Cognitive Bridge: AI-Generated Boundary Objects for Cross-Functional Collaboration

Cross-functional teams struggle when static collaboration tools fail to keep pace with dynamic conversations. Through a formative study with seven professionals, we identified a critical gap: designers and developers speak different vocabularies, causing semantic misalignments. We present Cognitive Bridge, an AI syste…

CHI '26Honorable MentionEye Tracking & Gaze Interaction +2

The People's Gaze: Co-Designing and Refining Gaze Gestures with Users and Experts

As eye-tracking becomes increasingly common in modern mobile devices, the potential for hands-free, gaze-based interaction grows, but current gesture sets are largely expert-designed and often misaligned with how users naturally move their eyes. To address this gap, we introduce a two-phase methodology for developing…

“My Happiness Makes You Smile”: Beginning to Understand Telepathic Superpower Design Via Brain-Muscle Interfaces

Designing superpowers in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), often inspired by science fiction, has garnered increased attention. However, it is important to ask whether such superpower designs might have inherent negative side effects, especially considering that technological advances allow going beyond short demos to…

Exploring the Privacy and Security Challenges Faced by Migrant Domestic Workers in Chinese Smart Homes

The growing use of smart home devices poses considerable privacy and security challenges, especially for individuals like migrant domestic workers (MDWs) who may be surveilled by their employers. This paper explores the privacy and security challenges experienced by MDWs in multi-user smart homes through in-depth semi…

CHI '25Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) & Neurofeedback +1

The Brain Knows What You Prefer: Using EEG to Decode AR Input Preferences

Understanding user input preferences is crucial in immersive environments, where input methods such as gestures and controllers are common. Traditional evaluation methods rely on post experience questionnaires, which don't capture real-time preferences. This study used brain signals to classify input preferences durin…
