StitchOver: Technical Embroidery on Seamed Fabrics

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 in Didactic Visualization: Toward a Multidimensional Design Space

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...

Situated Action in Pre-Hospital Critical Care Dispatch: Identifying where and how Algorithmic Assistance might be useful in the daily work of specialist Emergency Medical Dispatchers

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...

JudgmentLens: Human-AI Sensemaking of Complex Legal Judgments

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...

Living with AI Companions: Sustained AI Companionship Predicts Lower Well-Being Through Lower Human Interaction

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...

Adaptive Complementarity in Human-AI Systems: Architecture as a State-Shaping Choice

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,...

The Interface of Theseus: The Rise of Just-In-Time Interfaces

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...
