In case you need an excuse to sing at #CHI2025, come find our KaraokAI interactivity booth, where you'll meet the wonderful @annarlcarter.bsky.social and the rest of the brilliant team. Highly recommend both the singing and the company.
Photo of the KaraokAI booth at CHI2025 Interactivity. A standing banner reads "KaraokAI: Turning Knowledge Into Your Favourite Karaoke Anthems," decorated with a QR code linking to karaokai.tech and silhouettes of a cheering crowd.

(Inside the booth, not pictured: a tiny dinosaur wearing fashionable glasses, very essential.)
