CUI '24Conversational Chatbots +1

Participatory Design with Domain Experts: A Delphi Study for a Career Support Chatbot

We present a study of collaboration with expert participants for the purpose of the responsible design of a conversational agent. The Delphi study was used to identify and develop design and evaluation criteria for an automated career support intervention. Career support tasks present complex design problems as they a…

Art Directing Blended Experiences

Interactions between the physical and the digital have become increasingly ubiquitous. They are particularly challenging to visualize and illustrate, as they usually unfold over time and space and involve multiple devices, locations, services, and actors. Traditional approaches to sketching user experiences and storyb…

WAVE: Anticipatory Movement Visualization for VR Dancing

Dance games are one of the most popular game genres in Virtual Reality (VR), and active dance communities have emerged on social VR platforms such as VR Chat. However, effective instruction of dancing in VR or through other computerized means remains an unsolved human-computer interaction problem. Existing approaches…

“It’s not just for the Past but it’s for the Here and Now”: Gift-Giver Perspectives on the Memory Machine to Gift Digital Memories

We present the design of the Memory Machine (MeMa), a technology probe that can store, contextualise, and document media to represent memories. We accumulate vast physical and digital possessions throughout our lives, making it difficult to distinguish value in amassed images, albums, videos, mementos, and music. One…

Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh Traders

Digital transformation is increasingly blurring the line between what is software and what is the world, requiring designers to harmoniously blend digital and physical products, services and spaces if they want to orchestrate meaningful experiences that are specifically aimed at the interweaving relationships between…

DIS '21Sustainable HCI +2

Designing Blended Experiences

The increasing ubiquity of interactions as a mix between digital content and physical objects and spaces brings about new challenges for designers. There is a need to embed digital systems in physical places, whether those are existing physical structures or existing digital platforms. Traditional approaches to produc…

CHI '18Makerspace Culture +2

Maker Movements, Do-It-Yourself Cultures and Participatory Design: Implications for HCI Research.

Falling costs and the wider availability of computational components, platforms and ecosystems have enabled the expansion of maker movements and DIY cultures. This can be considered as a form of democratization of technology systems design, in alignment with the aims of Participatory Design approaches. However, this l…

Motion Correlation: Selecting Objects by Matching Their Movement

Selection is a canonical task in user interfaces, commonly supported by presenting objects for acquisition by pointing. In this article, we consider motion correlation as an alternative for selection. The principle is to represent available objects by motion in the interface, have users identify a target by mimicking…
