Exploring Using Personalised Comics for Healthcare Communication for Patients Living With HemodialysisThrough co-design with patients undergoing hemodialysis and their healthcare professionals, we worked towards discovering how to create a personalised, welcoming, yet quick and accurate method for medical instruction communication. Exploring possibilities of meeting the widely differing goals of patients and their hea…2024KWKomal Waseem et al.University of CalgarySpecial Education TechnologyUser Research Methods (Interviews, Surveys, Observation)Prototyping & User TestingDIS
Screenshots as Photography in Gamescapes: An Annotated Psychogeography of Imaginary PlacesTravel is an integral part of our lives, whether for work or leisure. Since the advent of photography, we have documented our journeys, often sharing the images with friends and family to reflect upon the experience, tell stories, or invite commentary. We often lose ourselves in digital media – film, documentary and g…2023MGMafalda Gamboa et al.Chalmers University of TechnologyGame UX & Player BehaviorInteractive Narrative & Immersive StorytellingC&C
Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh TradersDigital transformation is increasingly blurring the line between what is software and what is the world, requiring designers to harmoniously blend digital and physical products, services and spaces if they want to orchestrate meaningful experiences that are specifically aimed at the interweaving relationships between…2023BOBRIAN J OKEEFE et al.Farmingdale State CollegeDesign FictionDigital Art Installations & Interactive PerformanceInteractive Narrative & Immersive StorytellingC&C
Exploring Co-located Interactions with a Shape-Changing Bar ChartData-physicalizations encode data and meaning through geometry or material properties, providing a non-planar view of data, offering novel opportunities for interrogation, discovery and presentation. This field has explored how single users interact with complex 3D data, but the challenges in the application of this t…2023MSMiriam Sturdee et al.Lancaster UniversityShape-Changing Interfaces & Soft Robotic MaterialsData PhysicalizationCollaborative Learning & Peer TeachingCHI
A Visual Exploration of Cybersecurity ConceptsCybersecurity related concepts can be difficult to explain or summarise.

Do Humans Dream of Digital Devices? Subconscious User Experiences and NarrativesDo humans dream of electronic and digital devices? Or are our dreams free of technology, its influences and disruptions. When technology does appear, what part does it play in our subconscious narratives? Dreams are a reflection and distillation of our daily cognitive processes and waking experiences, and ubiquitous i…2022MSMiriam Sturdee et al.Lancaster UniversityTechnology Ethics & Critical HCIC&C
Designing Blended ExperiencesThe increasing ubiquity of interactions as a mix between digital content and physical objects and spaces brings about new challenges for designers. There is a need to embed digital systems in physical places, whether those are existing physical structures or existing digital platforms.

A Plurality of Practices: Artistic Narratives in HCI ResearchThe arts and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) have a lot in common. As part of computer science HCI is ground breaking, interdisciplinary and focused on the interactions that form part of our everyday world. As part of the arts, HCI is a lens on technology, showing us spaces where there is room to interact and create…2021MSMiriam Sturdee et al.Lancaster UniversityDigital Art Installations & Interactive PerformanceInteractive Narrative & Immersive StorytellingC&C

Research Journeys: Making the Invisible VisualWe argue for a new way of using pictorial publications to communicate the social, cultural, and material contexts in which “in the wild” research is carried out. Such research often allows for partial researcher perspectives, as the researchers travel to, encounter, and leave those places. However, in HCI research, th…2020MSMiriam Sturdee et al.Lancaster UniversityParticipatory DesignField StudiesDIS
Drawing on Experiences of Self: Dialogical SketchingIn this paper, we present a method of Dialogical Sketching. We introduce the development of this method as a discursive aid to understanding design probe responses within participatory co-design engagements but also articulate its potential more broadly within participatory research.
