Summary of the Workshop on Interactions for Supporting Explanations and Promoting Comprehension

Interfaces and visualizations often challenge comprehension, especially as they grow in complexity. Traditional methods—relying on standard inputs like touch, mouse, and keyboard—fall short in addressing the nuanced demands for explainability in complex systems. This workshop explores innovative interaction strategies to enhance self-enabled comprehension, focusing on the development and refinement of new devices and input modalities. We aim to gather researchers, designers, and practitioners to exchange ideas and explore interaction techniques that promote clearer understanding and transparency across diverse applications. This collaborative effort seeks to advance interactive systems that improve explanation and user comprehension in digital environments.
