With the advent of HMD-based Mixed Reality, or “Spatial Computing” as framed by Apple, creativity- and productivity-related use-cases in XR, such as music production, are rising in popularity. However, even though the importance of environments for ...

Analogies can be a powerful source of new ideas; however, creators often fail to recognize and harness potentially beneficial analogical leads, especially from other problem domains. In this paper, we introduce AnalogiLead, an interactive interface ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have recently gained widespread interest for image creation, but tool developers have largely focused on technical capabilities or specialized domain uses, rather than visual artists as users. We collected survey data ...

Many digital graphic design tools provide design templates to help non-designers quickly get started. Users often have assets (e.g. images and text) that they want to incorporate when starting their design. Existing interaction schemes may be ...

Immersive environments for dance and movement experiences have to permit dancers and participants free movement in large physical space. However immersive scenarios are mostly created with desktop-based tools using flat displays, mouse and keyboards ...

New digital fabrication workflows require both software development and digital/physical material exploration. To support digital fabrication workflow development, we contribute infrastructure that prioritizes extensibility and iteration. Dynamic ...

Blind and low vision (BLV) creators use images to communicate with sighted audiences. However, creating or retrieving images is challenging for BLV creators as it is difficult to use authoring tools or assess image search results. Thus, creators limit ...

Immersive experiences are mostly created with desktop-based tools using flat displays, mouse and keyboard; as a result immersive experiences have a 2D look and interaction: user sit or stand looking forward, and interact with elements within reach of ...

In recent decades, the team creative process has been shifting online. Many design teams for novel products work together via collaborative software or applications. When generating new ideas, team members sketch to express their ideas and discuss ...

Creative practitioners rely on sampling to understand, explore, and construct problems; or gather resources for later use. Despite practitioners’ ability to experience immersive environments, sampling from them remains limited to primarily visual ...

Science writers commonly use extended metaphors to communicate unfamiliar concepts in a more accessible way to a wider audience. However, creating metaphors for science writing is challenging even for professional writers; according to our formative ...

Creativity Support Tools (CSTs) have grown exponentially in the HCI field. However, this growth has always leaned towards divergent thinking, thus neglecting convergent thinking. We confirm this information based on a preliminary review between 2012 and ...

Cross-domain analogical reasoning is a core creative ability that can be challenging for humans. Recent work has shown some proofs-of-concept of Large language Models’ (LLMs) ability to generate cross-domain analogies. However, the reliability and ...

The creative industries play an important role in economic, cultural and social life, and in many creative disciplines much of the workforce is made up of individual practitioners including freelancers, sole traders and small or micro enterprises. These ...

After the rise of direct manipulation, textual interactions have been progressively devalued in creative software. Text fields within creative software currently support limited use cases such as fine tuning of numerical values or layer naming. Following ...

Users searching for information in academic contexts often need to compare different perspectives, organize search results, and synthesize topics. To support people’s creative thinking processes while searching for academic information, we developed ...

The embodiment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in everyday use products is raising challenges and opportunities for HCI and design research, such as human understandings of AI’s functions and states, passing back and forth of control, ethics, ...

Creative practice often requires persevering through moments of ambiguity, where the outcome of a process is unclear. Creative practitioners intentionally manage this process, for example by developing strategies to break out of creative ruts, or stay ...

As previous studies have shown, the environment of creative people can have a significant impact on their creative process and thus on their creations. However, with the advent of digital tools such as virtual instruments and digital audio workstations,...

This workshop focuses on emerging approaches for using Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems to support and augment personal creativity. Recent developments in generative Machine Learning demonstrate the ability of AI systems to perform tasks which are ...
