CHI '26Data Physicalization +1

ClayPhys: Towards Toolkits that Support Making Expressive Data Physicalization

Existing toolkits for data physicalization prioritize ease of use and adoption by novices. This is often achieved by limiting the affordances of the materials used and constraining design possibilities. The result is limited opportunities for creating expressive physicalizations. To address this limitation and to bett…

LLM-based Embodied Conversational Agent for Reducing Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety in Social VR

Foreign language speaking anxiety (FLSA) poses a major challenge for English-language learners, suppressing confidence and triggering a cycle of avoidance that hinders language acquisition. To address this, we explored the use of LLM-based embodied conversational agents (ECA) in social virtual reality (VR), which prov…
