Nudging vs. Reflection in Fitness Wearables: Evaluating the Benefits and Drawbacks of Design Strategies for Wellbeing Technologies

While technology is widely recognised as a tool to enhance wellbeing, there is no clear consensus on the best practices for design. Persuasive strategies, such as nudging, are often seen as effective but raise ethical concerns. Reflection-based approaches offer a potential alternative. However, a clear understanding o…

InkStack: A Programmable E-Paper Card System for Board Games

Playing cards have long been a central feature in board games, despite their physical limitations, such as fragility, and repetitive content. Yet, while HCI research increasingly explores augmented board games, interactive playing cards remain underexplored. In this work, we investigate the use of e-paper displays as…

The Office Awakens: Building a Mobile Desk for an Adaptive Workspace with RolliDesk

Over the past century, office desks have evolved with technological advancements, yet they have largely overlooked individual user preferences and diverse body types. Traditionally, desks remain static objects, forcing users to adapt their workspaces around them. This research explores how mobile desks can offer a mor…

Situated Artifacts Amplify Engagement in Physical Activity

In the context of rising sedentary lifestyles, this paper investigates the efficacy of "Situated Artifacts" in promoting physical activity. We designed two artifacts that display users' physical activity data within their homes - one physical and one digital. We conducted a 9-week, counterbalanced, within-subject fiel…

PromptMap: An Alternative Interaction Style for AI-Based Image Generation

Recent technological advances popularized the use of image generation among the general public. Crafting effective prompts can, however, be difficult for novice users. To tackle this challenge, we developed PromptMap, a new interaction style for text-to-image AI that allows users to freely explore a vast collection of…

ProtoBricks: A Research Toolkit for Tangible Prototyping & Data Physicalization

Building tangible interfaces or data physicalizations is a resource-intensive endeavour. There is a need for rapid means to prototype tangibles in order to facilitate research and design. To this end, we designed ProtoBricks: a research toolkit that uses capacitive bricks to facilitate rapid prototyping for tangible i…

Screenless Interactive Tabletop Gaming with Capacitive Surface Sensing

Many interactive systems that support tabletop games either augment the experience with additional elements or transform game components into digital counterparts, e.g., using mixed reality. However, as many users prefer tangible game elements, digital augmentations can disrupt the immersion they seek to enhance, ofte…

UBICOMP '23Vibrotactile Feedback & Skin Stimulation +1

Exploring Recognition Accuracy of Vibrotactile Stimuli in Sternoclavicular Area

Growing popularity of wearable haptic devices encouraged researchers to implement on-body interfaces that appropriate different form factors and interaction techniques. Among vibrotactile wearable interfaces, neck-worn devices gathered limited attention in HCI. While the ``necklace area'' offers wide opportunities for…

SelVReflect: A Guided VR Experience Fostering Reflection on Personal Challenges

Reflecting on personal challenges can be difficult. Without encouragement, the reflection process often remains superficial, thus inhibiting deeper understanding and learning from past experiences. To allow people to immerse themselves in and deeply reflect on past challenges, we developed SelVReflect, a VR experience…

The Walking Talking Stick: Understanding Automated Note-Taking in Walking Meetings

While walking meetings offer a healthy alternative to sit-down meetings, they also pose practical challenges. Taking notes is difficult while walking, which limits the potential of walking meetings. To address this, we designed the Walking Talking Stick---a tangible device with integrated voice recording, transcriptio…
