    As smart urbanism evolves, smart living is increasingly shaping everyday life—promising efficiency, security, and energy savings while also influencing social interactions, social and family dynamics, personal agency, as well as the overall well-being of an individual. However, current smart city designs and smart living models often neglect critical ethical and societal concerns, such as inclusivity, accessibility, and the diverse needs of residents. Without addressing these, “smart” risks becoming exclusionary rather than empowering and facing the broader public’s resistance to its adoption over time. This workshop aims at uniting researchers and practitioners of Urban Informatics, Smart Urbanism, Human-Computer Interaction, Sociology and Psychology to explore how smart living can foster social well-being and how we can address design challenges sustainably rather than merely optimise smart technology.

    MCI-WS03 Teleoperation Redefined: Exploring Wearable Interfaces for Natural Interaction

    Giuseppe Sanseverino – TU Chemnitz
    Max Pascher – TU Dortmund University,
    Lewis Chuang – TU Chemnitz
    Jens Gerken – TU Dortmund University

    The increasing presence of computers, robots, and otherware in daily life and workplaces is transforming human-computer interaction (HCI), leading to critical questions about collaboration, trust, and control interfaces. Despite their efficiency, these systems are often controlled by interfaces that are complex for the human operator to understand, thus leading to poor, unnatural interaction. Wearable sensor technologies offer a promising alternative by enabling more natural, adaptive, and multimodal interaction paradigms. However, despite their potential, wearable interfaces face significant challenges, including a lack of validation, limited standardization, and the absence of accessible prototyping tools. This workshop gathers experts in interface design, robotics, wearables, and teleoperation to explore strategies for simplifying and accelerating the prototyping process. Through expert presentations, engaging panel discussions, a hands-on prototyping session, the workshop aims to define key design principles, address technical challenges, and promote accessible prototyping strategies, ultimately advancing wearable interaction design in HCI and teleoperation.

    MCI-WS04 Accessible Automated Automotive Workshop Series (A3WS) – Accessibility in Mobility (AiM)

    Mathias Haimerl
    Pascal Jansen
    Andreas Riener
    Mark Colley

    With modernizing traffic, a rise of automated vehicles (AVs) is expected. The potential multidirectional communication needs of AVs require solutions for traffic participants including cars and trucks, pedestrians and cyclists, infrastructure and mobile entities.

    While AVs must convey their intentions, they must also interpret and respond to varying communication cues, which may be visual, auditory, or transmitted via connected data. To address this complexity, AVs must leverage advanced technologies, including pattern recognition, data harmonization, and potentially artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solutions.

    Although automotive research advances rapidly, people with special needs (PSN) remains significantly underrepresented. Given demographic shifts toward an aging population and broader societal goals of equality and accessibility, it is imperative to integrate the needs of these groups when shaping the future of traffic. We, therefore, offer an inclusive forum for interdisciplinary exchange among academia, industry, and policymakers on current and emerging topics in this domain.

    We will facilitate dialogue, foster collaboration, and potentially inspire new value streams by incorporating perspectives from user experience (UX), psychology, product design, and legislative frameworks. Ultimately, we will forge new interdisciplinary networks to make communication among all road users more inclusive.”

    Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming academia and industry, reshaping how users interact with digital systems. While tools such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion enable new interaction paradigms, they also introduce ethical challenges such as bias, algorithmic opacity, deskilling, and digital homogeneity. As Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers and practitioners integrate GenAI into user interfaces, we must critically examine whether these technologies empower users or diminish agency by automating cognitive and creative processes. The second edition of the GenAI workshop fosters a critical dialogue on the role of GenAI in interactive systems, particularly concerning user autonomy, skill development, and equitable access. Simultaneously, the workshop explores new use cases for interactive systems. Participants will investigate the impact of GenAI through position papers, research statements, and discussions, synthesizing experiences and strategies from academics and practitioners. The workshop shows responsible and transparent AI integration in HCI design and practice by addressing the possibilities and limitations of GenAI.
