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

Evaluating Generative AI in the Lab: Methodological Challenges and Guidelines

Generative AI (GenAI) systems are inherently non-deterministic, producing varied outputs even for identical inputs. While this variability is central to their appeal, it challenges established HCI evaluation practices that typically assume consistent and predictable system behavior. Designing controlled lab studies un…

Enhancing Generative AI Image Refinement with Scribbles and Annotations: A Comparative Study of Multimodal Prompts

Generative AI (GenAI) image tools are increasingly used in design practice, enabling rapid ideation but offering limited support for refinement tasks such as adjusting layout, scale, or visual attributes. While text prompts and inpainting allow localized edits, they often remain inefficient or ambiguous for precise, i…

Mixed Presence in Mixed Reality: Charting the Challenges and Opportunities

This paper investigates the challenges of designing mixed-presence environments for Mixed Reality and suggests future research directions derived from an expert workshop. Developing mixed-presence systems is a complex undertaking that combines the intricacies of both co-located and distributed mixed-reality spaces. Cu…

Understanding the Effects of Interaction on Emotional Experiences in VR

Virtual reality has been effectively used for eliciting emotions, yet most research focuses on the intensity of affective responses rather than on how interaction influences those experiences. To address this gap, we advance a validated VR emotion-elicitation dataset through two key extensions. First, we add a new hig…

A Tree’s Perspective: Enhancing Nature Connectedness Through Transitional and Multisensory Virtual Reality Experiences

Embodying natural entities in Virtual Reality (VR) shows potential to enhance nature connectedness, but design factors that support such embodiment remain underexplored. This study examined whether transitional elements in the physical setting before and after VR and multisensory stimuli during VR can strengthen natur…

Interaction Methods in Generative AI Image Tools: A Review of Trends and Design Opportunities Across HCI and Industry

Generative AI (GenAI) image tools are increasingly integrated into design workflows, prompting HCI research on their interaction methods and interfaces. We reviewed 37 such tools, including 28 HCI research systems and nine commercial systems (2022--July 2025), using three analytical frameworks: interaction methods, cr…

Spatial Context Switches During Knowledge Tasks in Extended Reality

Current Extended Reality (XR) devices are increasingly being used as productivity tools. Compared to conventional setups, they allow for more flexibility in dynamic work locations beyond the desktop while providing a large virtual workspace. Recent research has explored how users organize digital documents and how vir…

Balancing Accuracy and Embodiment: A Hybrid Perspective for Complex Visuomotor Tasks in VR

Visual perspective is a crucial design factor in Virtual Reality (VR). Especially when complex motor tasks are involved, it can affect both objective performance and subjective experience. We compared four visual perspectives (First-Person view, translucent Ghost view, Third-Person view, and Hybrid view) in a user stu…

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…

CHI '26Eye Tracking & Gaze Interaction +2

Anticipation Before Action: EEG-Based Implicit Intent Detection for Adaptive Gaze Interaction in Mixed Reality

Mixed Reality (MR) interfaces increasingly rely on gaze for interaction, yet distinguishing visual attention from intentional action remains difficult, leading to the Midas Touch problem. Existing solutions require explicit confirmations, while brain–computer interfaces may provide an implicit marker of intention usin…
