Framing Water: Exploring Tensions between Social Norms and Environmental Sustainability through a Data Physicalization Game

Mountain areas are especially vulnerable to climate change. In recent years, intermittent droughts have forced many Alpine huts to close early or rely on cable cars or helicopters to import water. To raise awareness of water scarcity among hut visitors, we developed Framing Water, a reflective game based on the data p…

Talking About Brainrot: Youth Engagement with AI-Generated Content and the Dynamics of Intergenerational Communication

Generative AI is increasingly shaping social media dynamics and the production of viral content, particularly among younger audiences. One recent example is Italian Brainrot, a meme phenomenon characterized by AI-generated, surreal visuals and absurd narratives, which has rapidly gained popularity among adolescents. D…

Filling the Hive: A Reflective Toolkit for Community-led Rural Development

Designing socio-technical systems for rural areas requires empowering local actors to actively engage in a creative process that thoroughly considers the unique characteristics of these territories. Methods intended for urban contexts often fail to account for rural communities’ specific values, cultures, and needs. F…

Facing the Limits: Designing Data Physicalizations to Reduce Water Consumption in Mountain Huts

Mountain huts are buildings in remote mountain areas that depend on local water sources, such as snow, rain, and springs, as they are not connected to centralized water systems. In this pictorial, we report the design process undertaken to explore how data physicalization can communicate the problem of water scarcity…

“React”, “Command”, or “Instruct”? Teachers’ Mental Models on End-User Development

This paper presents findings from a thinking-aloud protocol exploring mental models in 28 elementary school math teachers during their initial attempt at composing and testing trigger-action rules for a smart tangible educational device. In the study, two sets of event-driven primitives were implemented in an End-User…

Becoming a Speleologist: Design Implications for Coordination in Wild Outdoor Environments

Learning outdoor sports entails acquiring physical skills, managing gear, and coordinating with others. We investigated how speleologists are trained to explore underground caves. We interviewed 15 instructors and 10 trainees to understand the main problems that may occur during training cave trips. Our findings show…

Automated vs. Human Health Coaching: Exploring Participant and Practitioner Experiences

Health coaching can be an effective intervention to support self-management of chronic conditions like diabetes, but there are not enough coaching practitioners to scalably reach the growing population in need of support. Conversational technology, like chatbots, presents an opportunity to extend health coaching suppo…

A Walk on the Child Side: Investigating Parents' and Children's Experience and Perspective on Mobile Technology for Outdoor Child Independent Mobility

Technology increasingly offers parents more and more opportunities to monitor children, reshaping the way control and autonomy are negotiated within families. This paper investigates the views of parents and primary school children on mobile technology designed to support child independent mobility in the context of t…
