💡 It's #CHI writing season again, so time to repost my 10 practical tips on how to write better discussion sections: https://medium.com/p/be851092f351
Happy writing! #HCI #CHI2026 #CHI2025

A reflection about our lab's participation at @chi https://lab.plopes.org/essays/chi2025 It was a really special conference, with new PhD students presenting and some graduating!
P.s.: Yeah, I was a bit behind (we're closer to #CHI2026 deadline than #CHI2025 itself) but never too late?

"Don't Forget the Teachers" - an insightful study presented at #chi2025

“#Edtech providers are spending a lot of time on reducing the chance of #LLM #hallucinations,... Our findings suggest they could also design tools so that #educators can intervene when hallucinations happen to correct students’ #misconceptions through their #teaching practices. This can free up time to focus on mitigating other types of #harm.”

Recap of #chi2025 in Yokohama, Japan!! 🎊🌸🇯🇵 Even though I had to leave early, I’m still so grateful to have presented my first full paper, see other wonderful presentations and work, and to reconnect and meet with so many lovely colleagues and mentors! Til next, friends~

In the latest FCAI newsletter:

- Research from #CHI2025 including AI models that interact with charts and keyboards in human-like ways (@oulasvirta) and how the Dark Souls video game could help with depression

- A perspective on how AI-fueled innovations, not efficiency gains, can drive growth in Finland

- Hybrid events on the future of work and trustworthy AI for medical image analysis

@alarith @floe @sigchi there's no hearsay: it's already live in the #chi2026 page: https://chi2026.acm.org/ (also changes were announced at the closing of #chi2025 ).

Interactivity (now called demos) is its own track as usual (no changes to that track as with most tracks). Other tracks (indeed case studies is a good example) can submit either to full paper or to posters (formerly known as late breaking work, formerly known as Extended Abstracts and formerly known as posters!).

"The vast majority I met, however, just seemed fully captured by the capitalist LLM hype machine, trying to build their academic reputations around validating LLM applications that might promise jobs and continued funding, in the exact same way industry seems to be desperately betting on a techno-utopian deus ex machina to our global unrest about diversity and climate."

from @amyjko 's trip report from #CHI2025 - the largest conference on human-computer interaction.

What a week - thank you #CHI2025! 🤩

"there is a strong sense of losing my country, my right to be in public, my ability to do research... while being crushed by the weight of leadership chaos & the decay of pedagogy has LLM erodes interpersonal communication"

"While pockets of community at #CHI2025 faced similar challenges, the majority of people I met, whether outside the U.S. or in it, just seemed to be in a kind of denial about the instability of the world & the precarity of the status quo"

Yun Ho is a first year PhD student and Siya Choudhary was my high school intern (she's first author on this paper!). They've worked so hard on this incredible project and #CHI2025 demo, advised by the brilliant Romain Nith who's done so so much work behind the scenes!

Last paper from our lab at #chi2025 is Adaptive muscle stimulation where we found that adapting to users errors and performances increases muscle memory! (Learning by doing!) Really excited about this one starting at 9am at Annex F206 (Siya and Yun are presenting)

My co-authors Nihar Sabnis and Donald Degraen will present our paper “CollabJam: Studying Collaborative Haptic Experience Design for On-Body Vibrotactile Patterns” at #CHI2025. In this work, we investigated the design process and communication of haptic designers in remote collaborative scenarios using the CollabJam suite. The paper received an Honorable mention 🏅 (top 5%).

🗓 Thursday, May 1
🕘 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM (JST)
📍 Room G316+G317
🎦 Session: Vibration Vibes

If you're curios about how reVISit can help you run your user studies, join us for a meetup at #CHI2025 tomorrow from 9:00-10:30 in Room G218!

“Seeing with the Hands” is the latest #CHI2025 research from our lab Shan-Yuan with Gene S-H Kim and Xuanyou (Zed) Liu. We explore a sensory substitution that enables a flexible way of seeing (vision-to-electrotactile), e.g., hover an object and feel its shape before grasping if one cannot see! Next talk (in 10m) at Annex F204!

Presenting my work with @elisamekler.bsky.social and @blackcorvid.bsky.social at 9:00 F203! #CHI2025

For all non-CHI goers (or generally, non-conference attendees), do you have a specific process for exploring the program/proceedings, or do you hope you'll find all relevant papers once they become relevant for your work? #chi2025

My student @abhsarma.bsky.social is presenting his work on visualizing forecasts under uncertainty induced by the presence of multiple forecasters at #chi2025 tomorrow! #vis #stats #hci BTW he's great and he's looking for jobs!!
