Breathing Inward: A Targeted-heat Wearable Designed to Deepen the Benefits of Diaphragmatic Breathing

Deliberate regulation of diaphragmatic breathing can contribute to well-being. We present a targeted-heat wearable designed to direct attention inward during breathing practice. In a mixed-methods study, breathing was guided with a pulsing-heat or a screen-based app. We included physiological measures of heart-rate, H…

Knitting with unknown trees: assembling a more-than-human practice

In this pictorial, we explore alternative ways of knowing urban trees through a more-than-human lens. Using a municipal tree dataset, we focus on “unknown” trees—entries unclassified due to error, decay, or absence—highlighting the limits of quantification and fixed knowledge systems. Urban trees, while critical for e…

Tracing as a Strategy for Orienting to Nonhuman Perspectives

Trends in designing with living organisms have focused mainly on leveraging the organisms qualities for interactivity and designing for care through a more-than-human design lens. As DIS gains interest in interactions with living organisms and more-than-human design goals, we reflect upon these trends and call for pra…

Felt Experiences with Kombucha Scoby: Exploring First-person Perspectives with Living Matter

Designing with living organisms can offer new perspectives to design research and practices in HCI. In this work, we explore first-person perspectives through design research with Kombucha Scoby, a microbial biofilm. We began with a material design exploration, producing digitally fabricated and crafted samples with S…

CHI '22Automated Driving Interface & Takeover Design +1

Tangible Collaboration: A Human-Centered Approach for Sharing Control With an Actuated-Interface

Autonomous actuated-interfaces provide a unique research opportunity for shared-control interfaces, as the human and the interface collaborate using the physical interaction modality, manipulating the same physical elements at the same time. Prior studies show that sharing control with physical modality interfaces oft…

ReClaym our Compost: Biodegradable Clay for Intimate Making

In this work, we use composted food waste to create ReClaym: a personal biomaterial, made at home, that reflects the makers' relationship with food. We combine our personal compost with non-toxic binders to create a biomaterial that can completely biodegrade. We propose Intimate Making as an approach for working with…

Designing Direct Interactions with Bioluminescent Algae

Living matter is an emerging topic of interest in HCI as researchers are recognizing the unique affordances of biological materials. We explore direct interactions with Dinoflagellates, bioluminescent algae that produce light when exposed to oxygen through physical stimulation. Leveraging Dinoflagellates’ natural feed…

TUI as Social Entity: a Study of Joint-actuation and Turn-taking-actuation in Actuated-interfaces

We present an actuated-interface that is not only a tangible interface but also an autonomous object, designed as an independent entity that takes a similar role to the user's role in an anagram word game. We highlight two leading interaction paradigms: Turn-taking-actuation and Joint-actuation, and evaluate both in a…

Physiologically Driven Storytelling: Concept and Software Tool

We put forth Physiologically Driven Storytelling, a new approach to interactive storytelling where narratives adaptively unfold based on the reader's physiological state. We first describe a taxonomy framing how physiological signals can be used to drive interactive systems both as input and output. We then propose ap…

Companionship Is Not a Function: The Effect of a Novel Robotic Object on Healthy Older Adults' Feelings of "Being-Seen"

One of the challenges faced by healthy older adults is experiencing feelings of not "being-seen". Companion robots, commonly designed with zoomorphic or humanoid appearance show success among clinical older adults, but healthy older adults find them degrading. We present the design and implementation of a novel non-hu…
