RIP Moxie: Lessons for Supporting Emotional Detachment at Product End-of-Life through a Case Study of a Social Companion Robot

Meaningful connections formed between people and robots are a key factor in sustaining long-term interaction. Yet while onboarding experiences for social robot products are often carefully designed to cultivate these bonds, offboarding receives far less attention. This imbalance can result in abrupt disruptions in hum…

We report on a research through design study of how our everyday objects, augmented with technologies, could contribute to disseminating people's lifestyle values in public. We developed Jarvis, a hybrid object of a glass jar and a location-tracking system that allowed us to examine how Jarvis stimulated making lifest…

Investigating the Homogenization of Web Design: A Mixed-Methods Approach

Visual design provides the backdrop to most of our interactions over the Internet, but has not received as much analytical attention as textual content. Combining computational with qualitative approaches, we investigate the growing concern that visual design of the World Wide Web has homogenized over the past decade.…

``It's easier than causing confrontation'': Sanctioning Strategies to Maintain Social Norms and Privacy on Social Media

Sanctions play an essential role in enforcing and sustaining social norms.

“Staged for Living”: Negotiating Objects and their Values over a Porous Boundary

We describe more than 19 months of ethnographic fieldwork with people who have embraced minimalism, a lifestyle movement focused on reducing modern life's clutter. We found that for minimalists, the home is a central but porous site for making and staging their values around objects. The home's porous boundary allows…
