CHI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +2

Interpretive Cultures: Resonance, randomness, and negotiated meaning for AI-assisted tarot divination

While generative AI tools are increasingly adopted for creative and analytical tasks, their role in interpretive practices,where meaning is subjective, plural, and non-causal, remains poorly understood. This paper examines AI-assisted tarot reading, a divinatory practice in which users pose a query, draw cards through…

CSCW '25Making Work Meetings Better

Nods of Agreement: Webcam-Driven Avatars Improve Meeting and Avatar Satisfaction Over Audio-Driven or Static Avatars in All-Avatar Work Videoconferencing

Avatars are edging into mainstream videoconferencing, but evaluation of how avatar animation modalities contribute to work meeting outcomes has been limited. We report a within-group videoconferencing experiment in which 68 employees of a global technology company, in 16 groups, used the same stylized avatars in three…

DIS '25Immersion & Presence Research +1

Sensing Nature

The rise of urbanisation has reduced connection with nature and physical interaction, both crucial for well-being and pro-environmental behavior. Sensing Nature is a multisensory virtual reality installation that aims to energize and nourish the spirit by reimagining the natural world as a playful, immersive experienc…

UBICOMP '23Full-Body Interaction & Embodied Input +1

Using Wearable Sensors to Measure Interpersonal Synchrony in Actors and Audience Members During a Live Theatre Performance

"Studying social interaction in real-world settings is of increasing importance to social cognitive researchers. Theatre provides an ideal opportunity to study rich face-to-face interactions in a controlled, yet natural setting. Here we collaborated with Flute Theatre to investigate interpersonal synchrony between act…

Embodying an Interactive AI for Dance Through Movement Ideation

What expectations exist in the minds of dancers when interacting with a generative machine learning model? During two workshop events, experienced dancers explore these expectations through improvisation and role-play, embodying an imagined AI-dancer. Through discussions with the participants we identify a variety…

Research Products at Scale: Learnings from Designing Devices in Multiples of Ones, Tens, Hundreds and Thousands

In this paper, I argue that scale is an important quality of research products [32] and reflect upon the lessons learnt from designing and producing research products at scales ranging from one-offs to those reproduced in thousands. I describe details from a body of research completed by our studio over twenty years b…

CSCW '22Access to Information and Services; Access to Information and Services

Dealing with digital service closure

People integrate digital services into their day-to-day lives, often with the assumption that they will always be available. What happens when these services close down? The introduction of services might be carefully planned, but their closure may not benefit from the same degree of consideration. A more developed un…

Seeing our Blind Spots: Smart Glasses-based Simulation to Increase Design Students Awareness of Visual Impairment

As the population ages, many will acquire visual impairments. To improve design for these users, it is essential to build awareness of their perspective during everyday routines, especially for design students. Although several visual impairment simulation toolkits exist in both academia and as commercial produc…

CHI '22Participatory Design +2

Yo–Yo Machines: Self-Build Devices that Support Emotional Connections During the Pandemic

Yo–Yo Machines are playful communication devices designed to help people feel socially connected while physically separated. We designed them to reach as many people as possible, both to make a positive impact during the COVID-19 pandemic and to assess a self-build approach to circulating research products and the app…

CHI '22Digitalization of Board & Tabletop Games

The Effects of a Soundtrack on Board Game Player Experience

Board gaming is a popular hobby that increasingly features the inclusion of technology, yet little research has sought to understand how board game player experience is impacted by digital augmentation or to inform the design of new technology-enhanced games. We present a mixed-methods study exploring how the presence…
