Out today in IJHCS:
Dan Bennett & colleagues find that multi fractal patterns in keystroke timings actually as markers of fatigue.
Points to for unobtrusive, cheap, privacy-conserving ways of monitoring fatigue and timing effective interventions.

Tegan presented her first full paper, well done! IT explores how cross-sensory metaphors (e.g “sharp smell”) help kids & adults connect. A metaphor-based game revealed age-based strategies, offering new ways to design tools that bridge generational gaps.

Brooke presented work that challenges 90+ years of play theory (Parten, 1932) by proposing a neuro-inclusive continuum model of social play; a bold step toward designing tech that can support for all children. Congrats on the award Brooke!

@BristolIG and the Diverse-ability Interaction Lab had a good presence at #IDC2025 with two full papers and one pictorial, and with one of the paper receiving a Best Paper Honourable Mention Award!
Could understanding how people regulate their motivation help design for more intentional, meaningful, time online?

Work from BIG at #chi2025 last week: understanding the motivational foundations of digital self control in social media
Both high and low personal investment lead to regret and negative outcomes.
Best: know why you use it but keep some personal distance
