ITI/LARSyS researchers at ACM TEI 2026, Chicago
Researchers from the Interactive Technologies Institute (ITI/LARSyS) presented several contributions at the 20th ACM Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction (TEI 2026), taking place in Chicago, United States.
TEI is one of the main international venues in Human–Computer Interaction dedicated to research on tangible interfaces, embodied interaction, and the integration of digital technologies with the physical world. The 2026 edition was organised under the theme “Tide + Tied”, exploring relationships between technology, environments, and embodied forms of interaction.
Researchers affiliated with ITI/LARSyS contributed to the conference with one full paper and three pictorials.
