Commensality, the act of eating together, offers a rich multisensory and social experience that technology can enhance. Dining involves interactions with food, where smells, colors, sounds, and textures contribute to a multisensory experience. The table ...

Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a powerful tool for creating personalized knowledge experiences for users, often serving as their own interface through text-based chatbots. The interpretation of user intent and generation of output occur ...

Postcolonial and decolonial computing examines how technology design and adoption can perpetuate subtle dimensions of coloniality, under-represent certain regions (e.g., the Global South, non-Western regions, Indigenous societies), and marginalize them. ...

Player Experience (PX) in video games is a multifaceted construct encompassing affective, perceived, and subjective dimensions. While extensively explored in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and games user research studies, the practical evaluation of PX,...

More-than-human perspectives are gaining ground in human-computer interaction (HCI) research, but there is not yet any shared understanding in the community of what it entails. In this paper, we present the results from a scoping review on emerging more-...

In his 2009 AAAI article [10], Jonathan Grudin described AI and HCI as “two fields divided by a common focus”, noting how they “competed for intellectual and economic resources” (Fig. 1(a)). HCI is in its strongest position yet — with several senior HCI ...
