Smart textiles embed interactivity into everyday garments, supporting use cases like always-available sensing for medical applications or sports. Machine embroidery allows integrating functionalities into existing textiles. However, embroidering onto real-world textile goods remains challenging. Textile goods are rarel...
Representational fidelity is routinely treated as a single abstract-realistic continuum, a simplification that limits how it is described and compared across research and design contexts. We introduce a multidimensional design space of representational fidelity for didactic visualization in science&engineering, inducti...

In this self-selected convenience sample, AI-chatbot-associated harms were frequently described in relation to delusional beliefs, perceived chatbot validation, intensive use, and substantial social, occupational, and clinical consequences.

As geopolitical tensions, energy crises, and energy-intensive AI infrastructure intensify concerns about demand, affordability, and resilience, communities increasingly encounter these challenges through everyday energy practices, particularly winter heating. Against this background, the doctoral expos\'e,"Designing Hu...

These findings suggest that, in this setting, LLMs function less as human co-authors and more as adaptive narrative amplifiers that reshape how agency is distributed in collaborative writing.

This study uses ethnographic immersion and observation as contextual inquiry to understand situated action at an Emergency Medical Dispatch critical care hub. The work is a response to the urgent need to recruit context-specific knowledge and participation into design that helps to narrow the AI Chasm - the gap between...

Judicial judgments are increasingly available, yet dense language and distributed relationships among facts, evidence, reasoning, and rulings remain difficult for non-experts to interpret. Through a mixed-methods formative study with Chinese non-expert readers (survey N=34; interviews N=6), we identified structural, in...

Recurring patterns are identified, including technologies with dual-sided effects and a pervasive ``digital expert halo" in avalanche terrain, from a human-computer interaction (HCI) perspective.

AI chatbots are increasingly used for companionship, emotional support, and personal self-disclosure; however, how social engagement with these systems unfolds over time and shapes users'well-being remains unclear. To address this, we conducted a two-wave longitudinal study of CharacterAI users, surveying 1,182 partici...

Human-AI interaction can improve current performance while changing the capabilities and relationships on which future performance depends. We develop adaptive complementarity, a framework for choosing interaction architecture with these state consequences in view. Access, information exposure, task allocation, timing,...
Our community creates interfaces---pre-constructed, static artifacts. These interfaces are effortful to create, so we invest great effort and care into each of them. Yet the equilibrium is shifting: we can now construct nearly any software, bespoke, within moments. When construction is cheap, we may soon live in a futu...
Although sexual health counseling is one of the important responsibilities of healthcare professionals, effective educational methods are needed to develop students' counseling skills in this field. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of virtual patient simulation and peer simulation methods in devel...
Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity. The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
