Remote tutoring has gained significant traction due to technological advances, primarily relying on video-conferencing tools. However, these tools are not specifically designed for tutoring. Positive tutoring experiences rely on interaction with and ...

The production and use of goods and services contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, individual consumption patterns are crucial for reducing carbon emissions. To address consumerism and overconsumption, this paper ...

Consumer health devices pose great opportunities for Citizen Science. Yet, to ensure that citizen-contributed data is suitable for research remains a key challenge. This work probes the lived experience of collecting health data in daily life. We ...

Welcome to this issue of the Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, which brings together contributions from the Mobile Human-Computer Interaction (MHCI) community. This issue showcases innovations in research focused on mobile, wearable, ...

The ‘material turn’ in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is increasingly drawing attention to the computational affordances of materials and how we can craft with them. In this paper, we explore opportunities for combining the maker cultures of hand ...

HCI research has been instrumental in enabling self-directed health tracking. Despite a plethora of devices and data, however, users’ views of their own health are often fragmented. This is a problem for women’s health, where physical and mental ...

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) has unique capabilities that can manipulate users’ actions or perceptions, such as actuating user movement while walking, changing the perceived texture of food, and guiding movements for a user learning an ...

Living bio-materials are increasingly used in HCI for fabricating objects by growing. However, how to integrate electronics to make these objects interactive still needs to be clarified. This paper presents an exploration of the fabrication design space ...

Road traffic is strongly regulated, however informal communication is essential whenever formal rules are flexibly treated. Consequently, conflict-avoidant automated vehicles (AVs) can be disadvantaged when humans do not behave prosocially towards them. ...

The vision of a ‘metaverse’ may soon bring a ubiquitous(ly) Augmented Reality (UAR) delivering context-aware, geo-located, and continuous blends of real and virtual elements into reach. This paper draws on speculative design to explore, question, and ...

Gestural interaction with freehands and while grasping an everyday object enables always-available input. To sense such gestures, minimal instrumentation of the user’s hand is desirable. However, the choice of an effective but minimal IMU layout remains ...

This Interactivity shows live demonstrations of our lab’s most recent work on body-based interfaces. The soft, curved and deformable surface of the human body presents unique opportunities and challenges for interfaces. New form factors, materials and ...

Over the last decade, smart home technology (SHT) has become an integral part of modern households. As a result, smart home ecosystems blend with daily social life, appropriated and integrated into personalised domestic environments. The lived experience ...

Mid-air gesture-based systems are becoming ubiquitous. Many mid-air gestures control different kinds of interactive devices, applications, and systems. They are, however, still targeted at specific devices in specific domains and are not necessarily ...

Wearable robotic arms (WRA) open up a unique interaction space that closely integrates the user’s body with an embodied robotic collaborator. This space affords diverse interaction styles, including body movement, hand gestures, or gaze. Yet, it is so-...

Personal fabrication has mostly focused on handheld tools as embodied extensions of the user, and machines like laser cutters and 3D printers automating parts of the process without intervention. Although interactive digital fabrication has been explored ...

Novel wearable computing devices challenge our perception of what is socially acceptable. Research in human-computer interaction asks, "What makes a wearable socially acceptable?" and provides insights that may help designers and developers design for ...

The last decade has witnessed an increase in Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) research. Myriads of application scenarios have been proposed and toolkits, as well as procedures, have been presented to the research community. While these individual ...

Designers and makers are increasingly interested in leveraging bio-based and bio-degradable ‘do-it-yourself’ (DIY) materials for sustainable prototyping. Their self-produced bioplastics possess compelling properties such as self-adhesion but have so ...
