Last month was absolute chaos (in the best way)! It was so great to present our work on video #a11y, serve as a student volunteer, catch up with friends, and meet so many new people at my first CHI 🤗 #CHI2024

@hcdeUW @leahfindlater @uwcreate It’s bittersweet to leave Cornell, but I’m incredibly grateful for my time there. I’m thankful for the guidance and growth from working with Master’s advisor, Shiri Azenkot. Thanks also to my friends and labmates for the endless laughs, memories, and support 🥰 Until next time!

(P.S.: I made the cake that’s in the playlist cover image [alt: a cake decorated to resemble the This is Fine meme, a cartoon dog in a room on fire]! It’s quite an accurate reflection of how I feel right now… 🐶🔥)

Searching for the perfect music to power through for #CHI2025? Last year I made this Paper Writing Playlist 📝🎶 to reflect the tumultuous experience of writing a paper from start to finish. Figured it was time to share it with the world 😅 Almost there!

[Lucy Jiang @lucyajiang]

Excited to share our #CHI2024 paper exploring BLV people’s video #accessibility preferences across diverse viewing scenarios (e.g., different video types, platforms, and information goals)! The biggest takeaway? “It’s kind of context dependent” 🧵 1/6

[Lucy Jiang @lucyajiang]

We conclude with a discussion about the efficacy and ethical implications of using generative AI to support video accessibility. While AI has lots of potential, future work should investigate the intersections between media #a11y, artificial intelligence, and misinformation. 5/6
