Design for Civic Quality of Life Things

This paper reports on inquiry into the design decisions that shape how quality of life issues are reported and government service requests managed in a large and densely populated city in the northeastern US. In particular, we reflect on research data collected over 5 years investigating chronic noise disturbance. Our…

“Data Is One Thing, But I Want To Know The Story Behind”: Designing For Self-Tracking and Remote Patient Monitoring In The Context Of Multiple Sclerosis Care

We report on design-focused inquiry into future multiple sclerosis (MS) healthcare; including a multi-stage design process with experienced MS clinicians, and formative evaluations with people living with MS. MS is a chronic, progressive, and unpredictable inflammatory neurological disease of the central nervous syste…

Signs of the Smart City: Exploring the Limits and Opportunities of Transparency

This paper reports on a research through design (RtD) inquiry into public perceptions of transparency of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors increasingly deployed within urban neighborhoods as part of smart city programs. In particular, we report on the results of three participatory design workshops during which 40 New…

Open Data Intermediaries: Motivations, Barriers and Facilitators to Engagement

Open data programs have become increasingly established at national and local levels of government. While the degree of success these programs have had in achieving their objectives remains open to question, one factor that has been identified as important to any success is the role of open data intermediaries, indivi…

Digital Technologies In Orientation And Mobility Instruction For People Who Are Blind Or Have Low Vision

This paper investigates the tools and practices used by Orientation and Mobility (O&M) specialists in instructing people who are blind or have low vision in concepts, skills, and techniques for safe and independent travel. Based on interviews with experienced instructors who practice in different O&M settings we find…

From Environmental Monitoring to Mitigation Action: Considerations, Challenges, and Opportunities for HCI

Noise pollution is among the most consistently cited and highest impact quality-of-life issues in major urban areas across the US, with more than 70 million people estimated to be exposed to noise levels considered harmful. While HCI and CSCW has a relatively rich history of engagement with monitoring such environment…

'Are They Doing Better In The Clinic Or At Home': Understanding Clinicians? Needs When Visualizing Wearable Sensor Data Used In Remote Gait Assessments For People With Multiple Sclerosis

Walking impairment is a debilitating symptom of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a disease affecting 2.8 million people worldwide. While clinicians’ in-person observational gait assessments are important, research suggests that data from wearable sensors can indicate early onset of gait impairment, track patients’ responses t…

Good for the Many or Best for the Few? A Dilemma in the Design of Algorithmic Advice

Applications in a range of domains, including route planning and well-being, offer advice based on the social information available in prior users’ aggregated activity. When designing these applications, is it better to offer: a) advice that if strictly adhered to is more likely to result in an individual successfully…

UX of AI

Monsters, Metaphors, and Machine Learning

Machine learning (ML) poses complex challenges for user experience (UX) designers. Typically unpredictable and opaque, it may produce unforeseen outcomes detrimental to particular groups or individuals, yet simultaneously promise amazing breakthroughs in areas as diverse as medical diagnosis and universal translation.…

Urban Mosaic: Visual Exploration of Streetscapes Using Large-Scale Image Data

Urban planning is increasingly data driven, yet the challenge of designing with data at a city scale and remaining sensitive to the impact at a human scale is as important today as it was for Jane Jacobs. We address this challenge with Urban Mosaic, a tool for exploring the urban fabric through a spatially and tempora…

Crowdsourcing Multi-label Audio Annotation Tasks with Citizen Scientists

Annotating rich audio data is an essential aspect of training and evaluating machine listening systems. We approach this task in the context of temporally-complex urban soundscapes, which require multiple labels to identify overlapping sound sources. Typically this work is crowdsourced, and previous studies have shown…
