• Touching Movement: 3D Tactile Poses for Supporting Blind People in Learning Body Movements

  Kengo Tanaka, Xiyue Wang, Hironobu Takagi, Yoichi Ochiai, Chieko Asakawa · 2026 · Proceedings of the Twentieth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction (TEI '26)

  Tanaka and colleagues investigate whether 3D-printed tactile models of whole-body poses can help blind learners acquire physical movements that are normally taught through visual demonstration. Verbal descriptions are notoriously inconsistent and struggle to convey nuance, while…

• "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…

• From Selfie Stick to Virtual Cane: Enabling Blind Exploration through Mobile Virtual Reality

  Hao Tang, Hong Zhao, Xinpeng Liu, Zhenchao Xia, William Seiple, Zhigang Zhu · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  Consumer VR is a visual-first medium, which in practice shuts out blind and low-vision (BLV) users. Tang and colleagues argue that existing accessible VR systems do help BLV users explore virtual environments (VEs), but they depend on head-mounted displays, external tracking…

• From Performers to Creators: Understanding Retired Women's Perceptions of Technology-Enhanced Dance Performance

  Danlin Zheng, Xiaoying Wei, Chao Liu, Quanyu Zhang, Jingling Zhang, Shihui Guo, Mingming Fan · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  Zheng and colleagues study how interactive-dance and generative-AI technologies can be designed around the needs of retired women dancers in China — a population estimated at over 100 million, for whom community dance is a major post-retirement practice but where stage…

• Somatic Drawing Tool: 3D Body Sheet as Material for Articulating Synaesthetic Experiences

  Mamoru Watanabe, Oussama Metatla, Atau Tanaka · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This CHI 2026 paper reports a three-year participatory co-design cycle with synaesthetes - people who involuntarily experience cross-sensory perceptions such as seeing colours when hearing music or feeling tactile sensations when reading letters. The authors argue that…

• LyreFlute: Sensor-Based Musical Experience for COPD Rehabilitation

  Andreia Valente, Claudio Cotto, Mark Billinghurst, Kunal Gupta · 2026 · Extended Abstracts of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI EA '26)

  LyreFlute is a sensor-equipped musical instrument paired with a 3D rhythm game that reframes at-home COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) breathing exercises as a culturally grounded, narrative-driven experience. The authors motivate the work with a stark adherence…
