CHI '26Shape-Changing Interfaces & Soft Robotic Materials +2

Encouraging Breath: Increasing Out‑of‑Session DMHI Engagement using a Shape‑Changing Biofeedback Physicalization within a Longitudinal RCT

Out-of-session or "homework'' engagement is a primary limiting factor in clinical mental health outcomes. Despite weekly practitioner contact, adherence to prescribed Digital Mental Health Interventions (DMHIs) typically drops by 96.1% within two weeks. We evaluate Ankor, a handheld shape-changing biofeedback physical…

Practitioners' Perspectives on Designing Data Visualizations for the General Public

Public-facing data visualizations can play a vital role in making complex information clear and engaging, thereby encouraging informed public discourse and participation. However, existing work offers limited insight into how practitioners make design decisions based on their envisioned target audiences and across dif…

Staring at Tables: Exploring Conceptual Data Modeling as a Rich Collaborative Activity

Conceptual data modeling is a central activity in data work, yet how such models are created remains understudied. While data attributes play a key role, modeling is also shaped by tasks, tools, developers’ prior experiences, and often unfolds collaboratively between diverse stakeholders. In this study, we invited 22…

The Gulf of Interpretation: From Chart to Message and Back Again

Charts are used to communicate data visually, but often, we do not know whether a chart's intended message aligns with the message readers perceive. In this mixed-methods study, we investigate how data journalists encode data and how members of a broad audience engage with, experience, and understand these visualizati…

Objection Overruled! Lay People can Distinguish Large Language Models from Lawyers, but still Favour Advice from an LLM

Large Language Models (LLMs) are seemingly infiltrating every domain, and the legal context is no exception. In this paper, we present the results of three experiments (total N = 288) that investigated lay people's willingness to act upon, and their ability to discriminate between, LLM- and lawyer-generated legal advi…

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…

Embodied Measurement: Tangible Interactions to Enhance the Validity of Self-Report Measures

This work introduces the concept of Embodied Measurement (EM), designed to improve the validity and inclusivity of cognitive load assessments by incorporating physical interactions that mirror mental effort. We implemented a haptic force-feedback turning knob as an alternative to traditional Likert-scale ratings and c…

Encountering Friction, Understanding Crises: How Do Digital Natives Make Sense of Crisis Maps?

Crisis maps are regarded as crucial tools in crisis communication, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change crises. However, there is limited understanding of how public audiences engage with these maps and extract essential information. Our study investigates the sensemaking of young, digitally…

Supportive Fintech for Individuals with Bipolar Disorder: Financial Data Sharing Preferences for Longitudinal Care Management

Financial stability is a key challenge for individuals living with bipolar disorder (BD). Symptomatic periods in BD are associated with poor financial decision-making, contributing to a negative cycle of worsening symptoms and an increased risk of bankruptcy. There has been an increased focus on designing supportive f…

CUI '23Conversational Chatbots +1

Chatting About Data - Interacting with Voice Interfaces to Engage with Election Panel Data

The importance of data is increasing and so is the use of voice-interface-chatbots. While tasks that can be handled by chatbots are still relatively simple, analysing data can be a difficult task for non-experts. The aim of the research was to show how an interaction with a voice-interface-chatbot to explore data can…
