#IDC2025 attendees gathered to Whales of Iceland Museum for this years conference dinner —celebrating Best Paper Awards, connecting over local bites, and exploring life-sized whale sculptures. A memorable evening of recognition and reflection.

#IDC2025 Paper sessions 2.1: Children, Safety, Special needs, 2.2: Understanding and Auditing AI and 2.3: AI as a tool / Using AI included a total of 18 papers, including the best short paper, and an honorable mention for best full paper. Take a look!

@bristolhci.bsky.social 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!

Now that the final Play Commission report has been published (see link in our bio and our previous post), we wanted to re-share the submission that PEDAL's Dr Soizic Le Courtois and Manogya Sahay worked on with PhD student Qiming Liu:

Supporting Learning Through Play - PEDAL

A Play Commission Submission by Dr Soizic Le Courtois, Manogya Sahay and Qiming Liu

Brooke @b-morris.bsky.social 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! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Excited to share that our paper won an honorable mention award at #IDC2025 🇮🇸🥳 Thank you to everyone who came to watch my presentation and to all the lovely people I met there! ✨ Presentation video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKHL... 🎥 Paper link: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... 📝
