I'll be presenting this work on Monday, Apr 28th during the "Storytelling and Sense-Making" paper session (the very first session after the opening plenary!) at 11:10 AM in room G302. Come to my talk! .

We also found that exposure to automatic adaptaions influences customization behavior and preferences for reading while walking. This work is done in collaboration with the amazing @wobbrockjo @_tcai @zoyathinks.

Through a controlled lab study with 45 participants, we found that automatic font size adjustments by viewing distance mitigated the performance degradation from walking, yielding faster reading speed and increased comfort.

We read on our smartphones on-the-go every day, but walking can affect our abilities to consume information. In our #CHI2025 work, we quantify the impact of walking on mobile reading, and compare automatic system adaptations with user customizations for mitigating these impacts.

I wonder why the biases in that slide were not even acknowledged, and were instead described as "irrelevant" and causing "unintended negative associations". If that's truly the case, I might as well describe every AI bias as an "unintended negative association" in the future.

I have been following the NeurIPS keynote incident over the past couple of days. While I appreciate the act of posting an apology on the Media Labs website, I still feel deeply offended and disappointed by how the apology was made:.

This work is done in collaboration with the amazing @jasonnkg @ProfJayFo @wobbrockjo . Paper: Video: Also check out the UW CREATE news page on our toolkit:

Our study with developers show that the toolkit is easy to use, easy to learn, welcomed for future use, and applicable to a variety of user scenarios.

We demonstrate the toolkit capabilities through five example apps that adapt to tremer, walking, running, fat fingers, and attention switch, enabling ability-based functionalities in 91.5% fewer lines of code compare to without the toolkit.

ABD-MT integrates with an app’s user input and sensors to observe a user’s touches, gestures, physical activities, and attention at runtime to measure and model these abilities, and to adapt interfaces accordingly.

Despite development in mobile capabilities, most apps remain oblivious to user abilities. Check out our #MobileHCI2024 work, the Ability-Based Design Mobile Toolkit (ABD-MT), that enables developers to create apps that respond to users' situated abilities:

AND I managed to still sleep for 6-7 hours per day even the week before deadline, for the first time ever, although on an unhealthy schedule ;) even bigger achievement.
