Does AI understand human values? While this remains an open philosophical question, we take a pragmatic stance by introducing VAPT, the Value-Alignment Perception Toolkit, for studying how LLMs reflect people's values and how people judge those reflections. 20 participants texted a chatbot over a month, then completed…

As social virtual reality (VR) grows more popular, addressing accessibility for blind and low vision (BLV) users is increasingly critical. Researchers have proposed an AI “sighted guide” to help users navigate VR and answer their questions, but it has not been studied with users. To address this gap, we developed a la…

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly support heterogeneous tasks within a single interface, requiring users to form, update, and act upon beliefs about one system across domains with different reliability profiles. Understanding how such beliefs transfer across tasks and shape delegation is critical for the desig…

We introduce DuoMorph, a design and fabrication method that synergistically integrates Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM) printing and pneumatic actuation to create novel shape-changing interfaces. In DuoMorph, the printed structures and heat-sealed pneumatic elements are mutually designed to actuate and constrain each ot…

Creating interactive papercrafts often involves the processes of craft making (e.g., folding, cutting, gluing, etc.) and fabricating the embedded functional circuitry. These two processes are usually separated in the current practice, making the workflow laborious and affecting the in-paper circuit stability. To addre…

Tangible interactions involve multiple sensory cues, enabling the accurate perception of object properties, such as size. Research has shown, however, that if we decouple these cues (for example, by altering the visual cue), then the resulting discrepancies present new opportunities for interactions. Perception over t…

Serious Illness Conversations (SICs)—discussions about values and care preferences for patients with life-threatening illness—rarely occur in Emergency Departments (EDs), despite evidence that early conversations improve care alignment and reduce unnecessary interventions. We interviewed 11 ED providers to identify ch…

Error awareness—the ability to detect errors, adjust strategies, and prevent mistakes—is critical in high-stakes human–computer interaction (e.g., aviation, autonomous system supervision), as well as in everyday life. However, this ability deteriorates under heavy cognitive load, and effective countermeasures remain s…

Social robots in the home bring new privacy risks and concerns for older adults. Yet, current technology privacy mechanisms typically use a one-time and universal consent mechanism (e.g., user agreement checkbox, browser cookie setting, etc.), lacking consideration of how privacy is holistically experienced. Designing…

On a visualization, the position of the marks encoding data is the most expressive and effective visual channel. It conveys order and quantity without impairing the perception of other visual channels. In the field of Information Visualization, position is often restricted to two dimensions, because using the third…

Tracking hand poses on wrist-wearables enables rich, expressive interactions, yet remains unavailable on commercial smartwatches, as prior implementations rely on external sensors or custom hardware, limiting their real-world applicability. To address this, we present WatchHand, the first continuous 3D hand pose track…

Independent and secret voting is a constitutional right, yet blind and low-vision voters (BLVs) continue to face barriers when casting their votes. Existing methods such as tactile templates often require braille literacy or assistance, while electronic ballot-marking devices raise cost and security concerns. We prese…
