• How Well Can 3D Accessibility Guidelines Support XR Development? An Interview Study with XR Practitioners in Industry

  Daniel Killough, Tiger F. Ji, Kexin Zhang, Yaxin Hu, Yu Huang, Ruofei Du, Yuhang Zhao · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This study is the first systematic evaluation of how well existing 3D accessibility (a11y) guidelines transfer to extended reality (XR) development in industry. The authors conducted 25 semi-structured interviews (1.5–3 hours each) with XR practitioners spanning freelancers,…

• SoundWeAR: Co-Designing AR Sound Cues to Support Outdoor Awareness for DHH Individuals

  Anna Surovkova, Tianze Xie, Xinan Yang, Seungwoo Je · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  SoundWeAR investigates how augmented-reality glasses can translate environmental sound into visual cues that support the situational awareness of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) people in outdoor settings - a context prior work has largely neglected in favour of indoor scenarios…

• "It Depends": Re-Authoring Play Through Clinical Reasoning in Wearable AR Rehab Games

  Binyan Xu, Wei Wu, Soonhyeon Kweon, Casper Harteveld, Leanne Chukoskie · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This CHI 2026 paper examines how lightweight, glasses-form-factor augmented reality (AR) rehabilitation games can be translated from laboratory prototypes into everyday physical therapy (PT) practice. The authors argue that most AR rehab research has stalled in controlled…

• Reimagining Wearable AR Gesture Design: Physical Therapy Reasoning in Everyday Contexts

  Wei Wu, Binyan Xu, Soonhyeon Kweon, Yujie Wang, Leanne Chukoskie, Casper Harteveld · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This CHI 2026 paper reimagines gesture vocabularies for lightweight, everyday augmented reality (AR) glasses — the emerging category of optical see-through wearables (e.g., Snap Spectacles, Meta Orion, Ray-Ban Meta) that are entering consumer and workplace life. The authors…

• Supporting Money Management among Adults with Down Syndrome: A Multi-Technology Probe Study

  Hailey L. Johnson, Heidi Spalitta, Callie Y. Kim, Bilge Mutlu · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  Johnson, Spalitta, Kim, and Mutlu designed three cash-based budgeting technology probes for adults with Down syndrome (AwDS) and ran a comparative usage study with seven participants aged 19-39. The work is motivated by a gap between special-education financial curricula (which…

• Autistic Adults' Perspectives on Self-Expression and Dyadic vs. Group Interactions in AR Telepresence

  Mahrukh Tauseef, Alexandra Watkins, Zalen Ingram, Rendong Zhang, Akshith Ullal, Ritam Ghosh, Amy Sue Weitlauf, Zachary Warren, Nilanjan Sarkar · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This CHI 2026 paper investigates how autistic adults experience augmented reality (AR) telepresence as a medium for social interaction, a population whose needs are largely absent from existing avatar and social VR/AR research. Motivated by the high prevalence of social…

• AR Haptic-Audio Conversion for Non-Visual Product Understanding in Smartphone AR

  Satomi Tokida, Ayaka Tsutsui, Norimasa Kobori, Matthew Gillingham, Bektur Ryskeldiev · 2026 · Extended Abstracts of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI EA '26)

  Tokida and colleagues (Mercari R4D, University of Tokyo, University of Tsukuba) tackle a specific gap in e-commerce accessibility: the AR 'view-in-room' features now common in online marketplaces (IKEA Place, Amazon AR View) assume sighted interaction and leave blind and…
