This event wouldn't have been possible without all our amazing attendees. We have summarized the discussion outcomes: EHCI Summary (Website Version) The HCI community's engagement with Sustainable HCI (SHCI) has predominantly centered on Responsible Consumption and Production, reflecting a narrow scope given the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cover 17 categories. This focus suggests that the breadth of Sustainable HCI research over the past decade has been limited [Hansson et al., 2021]. However, recent advancements in technology for environmental energy harnessing, condition monitoring, adaptation to changes, conservation, and restoration indicate a broadening of SHCI towards fulfilling other SDGs like Affordable and Clean Energy, Climate Action, Life Below Water/On Land, etc. We introduce "Ecological" HCI (EHCI) to expand SHCI's scope. EHCI aims to create interactive technologies that are aware of and integrated with ecological systems and principles, moving beyond human-centered designs to include environmental and more-than-human considerations. This approach broadens HCI research to encompass a wider range of ecological interactions and stakeholders. This special interest group will gather researchers to discuss key questions in EHCI's development, focusing on refining its vision, positioning within HCI, technical approaches, design strategies, evaluation methods and long-term impact. Addressing these questions is essential to advance EHCI and bring new researchers into this domain while ensuring it effectively contributes to both human progress and ecological well-being. https://www.interbeinglab.com/publication/millecrepe monthly 0.5 2026-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68f893be231ae831b8eb9c27/30b7566b-13a3-42b8-a0a2-47e1851ca734/milleCrepe-Teaser.png Publication - milleCrepe: Extending Capabilities of Fluid-driven Interfaces with Multilayer Structures and Diverse Actuation Media - Make it stand out Example Applications of milleCrepe: (a) A desktop Organizer utilizing the dramatic volume change.

It is constructed and programmed using LEGO Mindstorms. b) Core components:Two LEGO NXT controllers, four stop (touch) sensors, one light (brightness) sensor, two motors. c) We utilize the light sensorto test LEGO blocks of various colors. After testing, we select 8 colors approximately evenly distributed across the readingranges. These colors represent musical notes, spanning from rest, do to ti. Alternatively, one can use drawn color blocks withcorresponding brightness to represent notes. d) Music can be built using LEGO blocks, termed "Block Music," or painted withdiferent colors, ensuring the brightness matches the desired sensor readings. e) Once the block music is ready, place it in theColor Singer, activate the NXT controllers, and the sensor will move in an S path. The Singer will play a quarter note for eachblock the sensor reads. Here we provide an example of sensor reading results and the program for converting brightness tonotes. And it can be a lot of fun to casually build or draw something even if you have limited knowledge of music. Just give it atry, and you might be pleasantly surprised by the music. https://www.interbeinglab.com/publication/fusing-drama-and-cognitive-behavioral-therapy-in-a-vr-setting monthly 0.5 2026-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68f893be231ae831b8eb9c27/e094a25c-aa53-4995-9bdc-48ddc1cf605c/VR-Teaser.png Publication - Fusing Drama and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a VR Setting: An Innovative Strategy for Tackling Maladaptive Lifestyle Habits - Make it stand out Linkage between wearable device and model in VRexperience. https://www.interbeinglab.com/publication/milliware monthly 0.5 2026-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68f893be231ae831b8eb9c27/b9f4ad81-252f-4d84-a564-fe8d9d186c3a/MilliWare-Teaser.png Publication - MilliWare: Parametric Modeling and Simulation of Millifluidic Shape-changing Interface. - Make it stand out Examples of controlled sequence shape-changingsimulation.
