Apple will present three research papers at the CHI 2026 conference, focused on human-computer interaction.
The CHI 2026 conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is happening this week, and Apple is all set to showcase its latest research on human-computer interaction (CHI) and how it has implemented in its products.
Apple will present three studies focused on using AI for product design and accessibility:
- Improving User Interface Generation Models from Designer Feedback talks about how Apple used feedback from designers through familiar interactions, such as commenting, sketching, and direct manipulation, to fine-tune AI models to generate higher-quality UIs.
- The Way We Notice, That’s What Really Matters: Instantiating UI Components with Distinguishing Variations discusses how developers can use AI tools to test the user interface components they build.
- SceneScout: Towards AI Agent-driven Access to Street View Imagery for Blind Users discusses a multimodal LLM designed to help blind and low-vision individuals better explore street-level imagery and descriptions.
"We are proud to again sponsor the conference, which brings together the scientific and industrial research communities focused on human-computer interaction," Apple said. Apart from the above research papers, the Cupertino's giant booth at CHI 2026 will have a hands-on demo of the AirPods Pro 3 to showcase the human-centered research behind its redesigned fit.
The design and fit on the latest AirPods Pro is said to be backed by analysis of over 10,000 3D ear scans and over 100,000 hours of user research across different factors, including biomechanics and acoustics. The demos will be at the following local times:
- April 13 (Monday): 18:00 - 19:30
- April 14 (Tuesday): 15:45 - 18:00
- April 15 (Wednesday): 12:45 - 14:15
- April 16 (Tursday): 12:45 - 14:15
That said, the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) CHI 2026 conference will be held in Spain, Barcelona from April 13 through April 17. Google is the hero sponsor of the event and the company will present 30 research papers and contribute to 10 workshops.
