Co-design practices have been used for decades to support participatory engagement in design work. However, despite a wide range of materials that describe the design and commitments of numerous co-design experiences, few descriptions of…
We propose a one-day transdisciplinary creative workshop in the broad area of HCI focused on multiple opportunities of incorporating participatory design into research and industry practice. This workshop will become a venue to share…
The science of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is populated by isolated empirical findings, often tied to specific technologies, designs, and tasks. This situation probably lies in observing the wrong object of study, that is to say,…
Design Thinking workshops are used by companies to help generate new ideas for technologies and products by engaging subjects in exercises to understand their users' wants and become more empathetic towards their needs. The "aha moment"…
As digital social platforms and mobile technologies are becoming more prevalent and robust, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in facilitating human communication will grow. This, in turn, will pave the way for the development of…
Nowadays, interactive technologies are used almost everywhere. As a result, designers need to increasingly make them "socially acceptable". Previous work recommends "subtle" forms of interaction to increase social acceptability and avoid…
In the early stages of the design process, designers explore opportunities by discovering unmet needs and developing innovative concepts as potential solutions. From a human-centered design perspective, designers must develop empathy with…
Haptics in virtual reality is the emerging dimension after audiovisual experiences. Researchers designed several handheld VR controllers to simulate haptic experiences in virtual reality environments. Some of these devices, equipped to…
Traditional static user interfaces (UI) have given way to dynamic systems that can intelligently adapt to and respond to users' changing needs. Temporal interaction is an emerging field in human-computer interaction (HCI), which refers to…
EmpathiCH aims at bringing together and blend different expertise to develop new research agenda in the context of "Empathy-Centric Design at Scale". The main research question is to investigate how new technologies can contribute to the…
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is a field of research and practice that works with people who have a communication disability. One form AAC can take is a high-tech tool, such as a software-based communication system. Like…
In this paper, we argue for novel user experience design methods, in the context of reimagining ergonomics of interactive furniture.
Line managers form the first level of management in organizations, and must make complex decisions, while maintaining relationships with those impacted by their decisions. Amidst growing interest in technology-supported decision-making at…
Computational models of how users perceive and act within a virtual or physical environment offer enormous potential for the understanding and design of user interactions. Cognition models have been used to understand the role of attention…
Designing seamless, frictionless user experiences has long been a dominant trend in both applied behavioral science and artificial intelligence (AI), in which the goal of making desirable actions easy and efficient informs efforts to…
This study introduces an adaptive user interface generation technology, emphasizing the role of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in optimizing user experience. By focusing on enhancing the interaction between users and intelligent systems,…
There is a growing interest in HCI to envision, design, and evaluate technology-enabled interventions that support users' emotion regulation. This interest stems in part from increased recognition that the ability to regulate emotions is…
With the recent development and integration of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in transportation systems of the modern world, the emphasis on customizing user interfaces to optimize the overall user experience has been growing expediently.…
Architected materials can achieve enhanced properties compared to their plain counterparts. Specific architecting serves as a powerful design lever to achieve targeted behavior without changing the base material. Thus, the connection…
Navigation in new or unknown environments is vital, especially for visually impaired individuals. While many solutions exist, few are tailored to specific disabilities, often due to limited collaboration with handicap users in the design…
