Just had a look at https://chi2026.acm.org/authors/papers/ and I can't find alt.chi anymore? Didn't realize it's been canned, but it's not mentioned at https://chi.acm.org/new-chi-format-to-launch-at-chi-2026/. I feel like anything I would have previously submitted to alt.chi might have a very hard time getting in through a regular paper review process... /cc @sigchi #hci #acm #chi

From research prototype to production! This project began as a research idea during my internship with Ozette this time last year: what if we could create a chat interface for a single-cell phenotyping visual analytics dashboard, and actually have an agent *reconfigure the visualization for you*? One year later, after lots of testing, our system architecture is deployed in production Paper forthcoming!

The "Computing within Limits" (LIMITS'2025) deadline is extended to April 30th, 2025 AOE. Submit those papers and spread the word!

I have an odd little side project (one of many ) that can probably be best described as a new type of environmental sensor.

That sort of thing doesn't really fit my usual range of #HCI conferences, though, except maybe if you frame it in the context of "citizen science" or "urban sensing"? Would anyone have an idea where to publish something like this? (Open access venues strongly preferred.)

Less than 24 hours to go!
Final push to submit to #CUI2025 — all tracks due 17 April 2025 (AoE time)!

Unpopular opinion: #HCI as a field is doing way too much unpaid legwork for Big Tech. I feel like at least half of #CHI papers are some variation of "$BIG_TECH_FEATURE considered harmful", and the best-case outcome is that someone at the company in question reads it and says "Oh, interesting point, you're right, have a cookie."

I think we should actually build _new_ things instead that are a) not harmful and b) not built on sand. But of course, this is harder.

All web browsers should have a contextual menu item to "copy ALT text" when you secondary click an image.
