#CHI2026 Today 2:15pm📍Green Zone #8!
Our poster "Access Is Not Enough: Toward Developmental Flourishing."
Two versions: one visual, one OCR-optimized. If BLV folks have a different process, the poster should too.
Come debate: What is the purpose of assistive technology, and how?

You can also tell us if you think we missed some.

We want broad participation, so pls RT! 🙏

To date, HCI researchers have had no support on signaling their paper's relevance to AI, esp. when that connection is tenuous at best. We introduce a systematic framework to ensure LLMs are mentioned at every stage of paper reporting—from framing, to evaluation, to implications.

Stop by, we'd love to hear what you think:

Each paradigm has concrete implications for how we design interactions, structure sensory feedback, and architect adaptive systems.

We raise more questions than we answer. We're hoping for a real conversation about where the field orients next and how to do it. (5/6)

#CHI2024 😇Have you ever wondered how blind people get help from nearby strangers? Or, as a sighted individual, have you hesitated about when and how to assist a blind stranger? In a public environment with mixed abilities, social and communication barriers exist for both (1/8)

@rajan_vaish aren’t there 🌵 in hawaii? hmm :)

@TobyJLi Toby, thank you for supporting and encouraging me along the way!

Technological design should not only serve people with disabilities but also be integrated with the interdependent environment as a whole.

😇If you find this interesting, please come to my presentation on Tuesday, May 14th, at 9 am in Room 321. (8/8)

demonstrate the interdependent interactions between sighted and blind people, the shared environment, and technology as supporting collaborators. Successful social collaboration is accomplished through information conveyance and translations between all parties. (7/8)
