I gasped when I first saw Lightroom do this: I know this won’t have the same effect on you just watching. What happened was that, after I clicked on the Disable button, Lightroom moved the mouse pointer for me. I don’t think I have ever seen anything like this, and it provoked many thoughts and emotions: - This feels wrong. If the mouse is the extension of my fingers, and the mouse pointer the ex…

The article describes a literature review by Iowa State University researcher Farzane Omidi that examines how telehealth design affects communication and quality of care.

HCI papers need pre-submission review that checks contribution type, study design, ethics, interaction evidence, and venue fit.

Marblebeests is a system in which physical marble runs built from 3D-printed tiles are the program. A companion app scans the physical construction, uses a vision-language model to parse the topology into an intermediate representation, and either executes that program against test cases (puzzle mode), streams commands to a connected Raspberry Pi robot (robot mode), or runs a simulation. The phys…

When a powerful tool is built for engineers but needs to work for everyone else, the design is not a cosmetic layer – it is the product. By Isaiah Udoh UI/UX and Graphic Designer, UK There is a category of software product that most UX designers rarely think about when they are starting out, but that they encounter constantly once they are working inside real organisations. It is the internal too…

From Knowledge Base to AI System: How Papers Evolved Beyond My Wildest Dreams Honestly, I never thought my personal knowledge management system would become... this. When I started Papers two years ago, I was just trying to organize my notes like a digital hoarder who finally discovered folders. Little did I know I was about to embark on a journey that would teach me more about software architect…

UMD's HCIL contributes 19 papers to CHI 2026, advancing human-computer interaction research worldwide

Most frontend developers today use tools like Axe, WAVE, or Lighthouse to test accessibility. And that’s a good start. But there’s a gap that these tools don’t really cover: They don’t tell you what a screen reader user actually hears. The Problem: Accessibility ≠ Announcement Let’s take a simple example: From a rule-based perspective, this passes: -It has an accessible name -It uses a semantic e…

In the previous section, we secured a .NET API and validated access using Keycloak. Now we will integrate a React client so users can authenticate with the same Keycloack instance and call protected API endpoints from the browser. Note: This article assumes that you have a basic knowledge in React components, contexts and hooks This section contains the following: - Add React service to Docker Co…

The field of Human-Computer Interaction in arXiv covers human factors, user interfaces, and collaborative computing. Roughly it includes material in ACM Subject Classes H.1.2 and all of H.5, except for H.5.1, which is more likely to have Multimedia as the primary subject area. Paper Digest Team analyzes all papers published in this field in the past years, and presents up to 30 most influential p…

Plain text notes are functional, but they're not always the best way to make sense of your ideas. When dealing with complex topics or trying to spot connections between concepts, a visual format often works better than scrolling through paragraphs. I've been writing and organizing notes long enough to know that the format matters as much as the content. Visual representations like mind maps often…

In this guide, we’re moving beyond the glass to build a first-person interaction system. Using Roboflow Inference 1.0, RF-DETR Nano, and MediaPipe, you’ll learn how to anchor a gesture space to a physical screen and translate hand landmarks into OS-level commands like zooming and scrolling.

The ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is a premier international Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) conference. CHI – pronounced 'kai' – annually brings together researchers and practitioners from all over the world and from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and positionalities who aim to improve the world with interactive digital technologies. CHI 2026 will take place in Barcel…

The user interface (UI) encompasses the visual, auditory and interactive components that facilitate human-computer interactions. For decades, designers could only speculate what exactly users would look at and in what order. Today, eye-tracking technology is making it easier than ever for designers to develop more seamless UI. Discover how this technology has unleashed a wave… The post Eye-Tracki…
