The Socio-Technical Energy Triad: Uncovering Tensions between Service Providers, Users, and the Energy System

The digital transformation of the energy sector introduces HCI challenges that exceed traditional end-user design. While systemic perspectives are increasingly called for, empirical work on the tensions between provider constraints and domestic practices remains limited. We introduce the Socio-Technical Energy Triad,…

InfoAlign: A Human–AI Co-Creation System for Storytelling with Infographics

Storytelling infographics are a powerful medium for communicating data-driven stories through visual presentation. However, existing authoring tools lack support for maintaining story consistency and aligning with users' story goals throughout the design process. To address this gap, we conducted formative interview…

"Listen to the Teachers": Research-Based Personas for Translating Classroom Realities into Actionable HCI Design

The Human Computer Interaction community is well positioned to address socio-technical issues in post-digital education. However, relevant research has not fully captured how learning with and about emerging technologies is transforming the teaching profession and associated practices. This oversight hinders the imple…

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…

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…

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…

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…

CorpSum: Towards an Enabling Tool-Design for Language Researchers to Explore, Analyze and Visualize Corpora

Linguists use annotated text collections to validate, refute and refine a hypothesis about the written language. This research requires the creation and analysis of complex queries which are often above the technical expertise of the domain users. In this paper, we present a tool-design which enables language research…

MYND: Unsupervised Evaluation of Novel BCI Control Strategies on Consumer Hardware

Neurophysiological laboratory studies are often constraint to immediate geographical surroundings and access to equipment may be temporally restricted. Limitations of ecological validity, scalability, and generalizability of findings pose a significant challenge for the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs),…

An Autonomy-Perspective on the Design of Assistive Technology Experiences of People with Multiple Sclerosis

In HCI and Assistive Technology design, autonomy is regularly equated with independence. This is a shortcut and leaves out design opportunities by omitting a more nuanced idea of autonomy. To improve our understanding of how people with severe physical disabilities experience autonomy, particularly in the context of A…
