🥽 What happens in a society when everyone sees a different version of reality?

Together with Luka Bekavac, Simon Mayer, and Kenan Bektas, I explore this question in our new paper: "Connecting Personalized Realities: Challenges and Opportunities in a Personalized Society". I will be presenting it at the SAXR Workshop at CHI 2026!

As AI agents enter the physical world via smart glasses and robots, they need to interpret users’ ambiguous references, including imprecise pointing and underspecified language like “what’s that?” in complex real-world settings.

We introduce Uncertain Pointer at #CHI2026 to communicate system uncertainty with AR visualizations and facilitate user disambiguation!

In a few weeks I'll be heading to #CHI2026 to present our paper "Design Explorations of Instruments and Interactions with Bidirectional Haptic Couplings" (by me & @amcpherson). The paper details a design study where we gave digital musical instrument designers a "HaptiCoupler" kit that we created, which can enable simultaneous vibrotactile output and vibration sensing. Read more about it here: https://davisonaudio.github.io/chi2026/

Design Explorations of Instruments and Interactions with Bidirectional Haptic Couplings

Exploring the design of digital musical instruments with bidirectional tactile interaction through a user study. This study investigates the potential design and interaction implications when tradional unidirectional mapping paradigms are swapped out for bidirectional haptic interaction.

Text or video is not only form AI can take.

In https://embodied-ai.tech (#CHI2026, Best Paper 🏆) we create an embodied AI that acts via muscle stimulation to perform physical tasks: e.g., place a bike on a bus rack and more!

SECUSO Research Mar 17

We congratulate Judith Kankam-Boateng and her co-supervisor Peter Mayer, #SECUSO, for the #CHI2026 #paper titled "`It's Confusing, Insecure, and Messy'' -- Mapping the Gaps Between Stakeholders' Cybersecurity Mental Models in the Danish #Economy". The paper investigates #cybersecurity mental models held by three stakeholder groups in Denmark's defence sector and how these mental models influence regulatory processes. The authors conducted focus group interviews with policymakers, #industry associations, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), finding that SMEs often treat cybersecurity as a compliance task, while policymakers assume strategic readiness. As a result, the paper provides recommendations for aligning #governance frameworks with organisational realities.

Typical chatbots force co-writers to leave shared docs. Our #CHI2026 paper explores collaborative AI use in shared docs via 3 features:
🤖 Shared agent profiles
☑️ Repeatable tasks, triggered by users or system
💬 Agents respond in shared comments
