People form ad hoc conventions, by establishing linguistic & gestural abstractions, and shift information across speech and gesture to communicate more efficiently over time.

In our upcoming #CHI2026 paper, we study how these multimodal communications evolve in repeated physical collaboration.

Led by Kiyosu Maeda in close collaboration with @jefan, @rdhawkins, and team: William McCarthy, Ching-Yi Tsai, Jeffrey Mu, and Haoliang Wang.

Top: Modality shift in block instruction: R1: Take the green block and put it on the left side of the grid. A hand is holding an imaginary piece toward the left column of a 2×2 grid; label reads Redundant position and orientation. R4: the green block pointing this way. A hand is pointing near the bottom left cell with an arrow showing movement toward the top left cell; label reads Complementary position and orientation. Target tower: a 3 block green and red C-shape tower on a 2x2 grid. Bottom: Modality shift in tower instruction: R1: they are going to form a C-shape. A c-shape hand pose with the index and thumb is shown far from the grid; the label reads No information about position or orientation. R4: Put the C on the left side, facing away from you. Right hand shows the C shape facing away, and left hand with the palm open indicates placement on the left side; labels read Redundant position and orientation.

🤖 Our findings suggest strategies for future convention-aware multimodal agents that: (1) learn users’ chunked conventions as they emerge, (2) shift to abstract-first instructions over time, (3) adapt modality to evolving user preferences, and (4) use redundancy to highlight changes from prior interactions.

Screenshot of the paper. Teaser figure: five-panel teaser showing a shift from block-by-block to abstract tower descriptions. Panel 1 shows the first L-shaped tower made from three LEGO blocks (blue base, two red blocks stacked). A speech bubble says Put a blue block on the front side of the grid, with a hand precisely placing an imaginary block on a two-by-two grid. Panel 2 shows a speech bubble saying a red block on top of the blue, on the left side, with a hand holding an imaginary block vertically above the previous position. Panel 3 shows a speech bubble saying then another red block on top of that, with the right hand stacking another imaginary block. Panel 4 shows a speech bubble saying like an L shape. Two hands depict an L-shape gesture representing tower shape without position or orientation. The final panel shows the same tower in a different position and orientation, with a speech bubble reading Put a backward L-shape tower on the back of the grid and a hand indicating the back row of the grid.

Join us for the third iteration of the Post-growth HCI Workshop at ACM CHI 2026! 🐌

This year, we are transforming the classroom into a site of resistance and radical imagination by asking: how can we redesign computing pedagogy to prioritize sufficiency, repair, and collective care over relentless acceleration?

The call for participation is now open.

For the 3rd Post-growth HCI Workshop at #CHI2026, we invite educators, students, and critical practitioners to submit:
- Experimental syllabi challenging tech solutionism
- Pedagogical interventions that center on alternative perspectives
- Critical teaching materials disrupting "innovation" narratives
- Zines, toolkits, and alternative learning resources
- Speculative approaches to computing education

Contributions may take many forms! #Postgrowth #degrowth #HCI

I like that the ACM is opening access to the digital library and probably a lot of smart people crunched a lot of numbers to find a pricing model that might be sustainable.

That said, I find the the new registration fees for #chi2026 quite high, given that publications now have to be paid separately. For me, living in Japan with one potential publication, the participation fee alone would rise from 1000$ to 1350$ within one year. This already includes the reduced price. Next year it'd be 1550$.

Have we lost peer appreciation? 🤔 Not just at #CHI2026 I notice many review-to-reject. All studies have tradeoffs, all papers have limited scope. Sure, reviewing is fast, even with "passing knowledge", if we list what isn't there and conclude it's lacking. But we should review what *has* been done.

Whether you're new or a seasoned reviewer, I highly recommend Ken Hinckley's article on excellence in reviews - and championing papers: https://kenhinckley.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/excellence-in-reviews-mobilehci-2015-web-site.pdf
