Show Me Your More-Than-Human

This series of photographic vignettes shows multiple instances of more-than-human, mapping out the diversity of approaches in this emergent field. More-than-human means embracing entangled, relational agencies and emphasizing pluralistic, situated, and non-anthropocentric ways of being in the world. Using a method of…

Translating HCI Research to Broader Audiences: Motivation, Inspiration, and Critical Factors on Alternative Research Outcomes

Alternative Research Outcomes (AROs) go beyond traditional academic publications, taking diverse forms such as documentaries, DIY tutorials, or exhibitions. With growing recognition of the need for more inclusive and contextually appropriate research dissemination, AROs are particularly relevant in HCI and design rese…

Wheel of Plush: A Co-Design Toolkit for Exploring the Design Space of Smart Soft Toy Materiality

Soft toys foster strong and enduring early childhood attachments, with positive effects extending into adulthood. Smart toys are vulnerable to exploits and can harm users. Bridging this contrast, pairs of smart objects, equipped with only simple sensors and actuators, may support peripheral and emotional awareness. At…

Remembering through Sound: Co-creating Sound-based Mementos together with People with Blindness

Sound is a preferred and dominant medium that people with blindness use to capture, share and reflect on meaningful moments in their lives. Within the timeframe of 12 months, we worked with seven people with blindness and two of their sighted loved ones to engage in a multi-stage co-creative design process involving m…

Accidentally Evil: On Questionable Values in Smart Home Co-Design

An ongoing mystery of HCI is how do well-intentioned designers consistently enable products with unintentionally evil consequences. Using “questionable values” as a lens, we retell and analyze four design scenarios for smart homes that were created by participants with an IoT toolkit we designed. The selected design s…

The Entoptic Field Camera as Metaphor-Driven Research-through-Design with AI Technologies

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are widely deployed in smartphone photography; and prompt-based image synthesis models have rapidly become commonplace. In this paper, we describe a Research-through-Design (RtD) project which explores this shift in the means and modes of image production via the creation and…

Understanding Everyday Experiences of Reminiscence for People with Blindness: Practices, Tensions and Probing New Design Possibilities

There is growing attention in the HCI community on how technology could be designed to support experiences of reminiscence on past life experiences. Yet, this research has largely overlooked people with blindness. We present a study that aims to understand everyday experiences of reminiscence for people with blindness…

Machine Learning Uncertainty as a Design Material: A Post-Phenomenological Inquiry

Design research is important for understanding and interrogating how emerging technologies shape human experience. However, design research with Machine Learning (ML) is relatively underdeveloped. Crucially, designers have not found a grasp on ML uncertainty as a design opportunity rather than an obstacle. The technic…

Useful Uselessness? Teaching Robots to Knit with Humans

This pictorial uses imagery of human-robot collaboration, or cobots, as a site to examine the potential of queer use within design research. Through close documentation of our process, we reflect on acts of teaching a commercially available robot to knit with us—a messy and seemingly unproductive process. However, thi…

Guess the Data: Data Work to Understand How People Make Sense of and Use Simple Sensor Data from Homes

Simple smart home sensors, e.g. for temperature or light, increasingly collect seemingly inconspicuous data. Prior work has shown that human sensemaking of such sensor data can reveal domestic activities. Such sensemaking presents an opportunity to empower people to understand the implications of simple smart home sen…
