Among many reasons, missing @nandizhang_ 's talk is a big one why I feel sad not attending CHI. We ask an interesting question: life seems much easier with AI instructions (especially in-situ in AR), are they actually making us smarter or dumber, how to encourage people to learn?
#CHI2025 We will present "From Following to Understanding: Investigating the Role of Reflective Prompts in AR-Guided Tasks to Promote User Understanding" led by @nandizhang_ and @YukangYan PDF: https://t.co/tzyZ2TZpRr Video: https://t.co/bavbhFnhJF Talk: 4/29 (Tue) 11:10-12:40
