We (Xuechen Xu, Jen Beeston, and I) are conducting a short online survey 📄 (~10 minutes) to learn about how players experience agency in video games 🎮.

If you've played a game recently and are willing to share your thoughts, we’d really appreciate your participation 🌸

#chi2025 statistics, summarising countries, institutions, labs and people at #chi2025. Also, there are some 'reading lists' based on (my) interests. Imperfect, but hopefully useful or interesting to someone: tdjneate.github.io/chi_stats/20...

White web page showing: CHI 2025 Paper Stats <decorative CHI 2025 logo in pink japanese style> Below are some potentially interesting statistics I have generated from the JSON file from the CHI 2025 program. I consider only 'full papers' here. There were a total of 1,249 accepted full papers, from a total of 5,014 submitted (24.9% accept rate). Presenting statistics like this is an idea I borrowed (stole) from whatthehci.com, which seems to no longer be updated. You can also check out some cool statistics for the conference on the official blog. All King's College London CHI Papers All British CHI papers All London CHI papers CHI papers by institution (rank) CHI papers by country (rank) CHI papers by city (rank) CHI papers by author (rank) Papers with *accessibility* and/or *disability* in the title or abstract Papers with *aphasia* in the title or abstract Papers with *large language model* in the title or abstract
