Tuning into Everyday Ecologies: Children’s Slow Noticing in Food Gardens

Many children are disconnected from nature and have limited understanding of where their food comes from. Noticing nature, through active sensory engagement, is fundamental for children to learn to appreciate and care for it. Yet little is known about the noticing acts of children (3-5 years) in their everyday nature…

Understanding Emotional Closeness in Distanced Intergenerational Relationships Between Young Children and Older Adults: A Scoping Review for HCI

Emotional closeness (EC) is central to family relationships, however in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) it is often regarded as self-evident, invoked through adjacent constructs such as connection or co-presence. This ambiguity is particularly limiting for remote relationships between young children (aged 4-8 years)…

Small Talk, Big Impact? LLM-based Conversational Agents to Mitigate Passive Fatigue in Conditional Automated Driving

Passive fatigue during conditional automated driving can compromise driver readiness and safety. This paper presents findings from a test-track study with 40 participants in a real-world automated driving scenario. In this scenario, a Large Language Model (LLM) based conversational agent (CA) was designed to check in…

Balancing Attention Support for Early-learners (BASE) in Digital Technology Interactions: A Framework for Design and Use

Digital technologies increasingly shape young children’s attention, yet current design paradigms often prioritise engagement over developmental appropriateness. This paper responds to growing concerns about the attention economy’s influence on children’s lives. While many theories address attention and digital engagem…

Exploring Women’s Perspectives on Learning and Trust in Automated Vehicles: A Socio-Ecological Lens

As automated vehicles (AVs) move toward mainstream adoption, understanding how users learn about and build trust in them is critical. Prior research shows that women hold safety concerns and report low trust and familiarity with AVs. While limited exposure is often cited as a cause, growing evidence indicates that w…

The Choreography of Care: An Ethnographic Study of Human-Robot Collaboration in Makoplasty Surgeries

Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) in surgery is rarely a straightforward interaction between one human and one robot. In joint replacement surgeries performed with the Mako robot (Makoplasty), the robotic arm enhances surgical precision while also affecting how collaboration unfolds in the operating theater. Utilizing o…

Haptic-Augmented AV Experiences: Potentials for Blind and Low-Vision Users

Haptic technology has diverse applications in automated vehicles (AVs), yet research lacks a holistic view of its role in user experiences and its inclusive potential for blind and low-vision (BLV) users. This paper reviews state-of-the-art haptic interfaces in AVs, examining technological foundations, applications, u…

Designing With Motion: Exploring Vestibular Cues as a Subtle Awareness Nudge Modality in Automated Vehicles

Automated driving systems, particularly at SAE Level 3, present new challenges in managing driver attention to ensure smooth transitions from automated to manual control. This paper reports on a qualitative investigation of vestibular cues—implemented via subtle deceleration events—as a form of a dynamic Human-Machine…

Measuring Driver Electrodermal Activity when Exposed to HMIs Conveying Uncertainty in Conditional Automated Driving

The emergence of automated vehicles (AVs) introduces new challenges to human-vehicle interactions, especially in conditional automated driving. This study presents different head-up display designs as the human-machine interface (HMI) to convey uncertainty to AV users. It investigates the impact of such designs on dri…

The Art of Mechamimicry: Designing Prototyping Tools for Human-Robot Interaction

This research investigates the application of tangible and embodied prototyping methods integrated with virtual simulation in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). We present the development of the “kinematic puppet,” a reliable, reusable, adaptable, and accessible prototyping tool designed to facilitate stakeholder engageme…

Beyond the Buckets of Support: Designing for Agency and Interaction in Personalised Disability Systems

Social care systems are increasingly adopting personalisation schemes that empower individuals with disabilities and their families to directly purchase services,from assistive technologies to daily living support. Central to this shift are institutions like the National Disability Insurance Scheme, where annual negot…

Decoding Driver Intention Cues: Exploring Non-verbal Communication for Human-Centered Automotive Interfaces

In emerging "driver-less" automated vehicles (AVs), the intuitive communication that exists between human drivers and passengers no longer exists, which can lead to reduced trust and acceptance in passengers if they are unclear about what the AV intends to do. This paper contributes the foundational understanding of h…

Designing for Transactional Moments: Features of Tools for Child-centred Speech Language Teletherapy

Teletherapy for speech-language therapy (SLT) has become essential for many families. Early intervention for young children is important to ensure that developmental milestones are met. In this study, from a corpus of 10 videos, we present three cases of online and in-person therapy sessions with children between the…

Articulating Human-World Relations from Co-Designing a Collaborative Robotic System

In contrast to traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots are developed with the intention of allowing for close-proximity physical interaction between humans and robots. Current definitions of collaborative robots provide a pragmatic starting point for establishing safety guidelines, choosing operating param…

Characterising CSCW Research on Human-Robot Collaboration

Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) is an increasingly prominent topic in CSCW and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). From telepresence systems through field robots for extreme missions to social robots in homes, HRC is becoming a recurring theme across a broad range of CSCW research. Based on the growing interest, we expl…

Nature Networks: Designing for nature data collection and sharing from local to global

Human-nature relations are formed by the social and economic forces underlying local, physical places. Yet, many citizen science platforms are designed for national or global nature data collection. How local knowledge of wildlife can be effectively assembled to support this is an open question. This study explored w…

Studying Self-Care with Generative AI Tools: Lessons for Design

The rise of generative AI presents new opportunities for the understanding and practice of self-care through its capability to generate varied content, including self-care suggestions via text and images, and engage in dialogue with users over time. However, there are also concerns about accuracy and trustworthiness o…

Phenology Circles: A Method to Deepen Relations in More-Than-Human Design Processes

We present phenology circles, a method to deepen relations human and more-than-human in the backstage of participatory design processes. To illustrate the method, we reflect on over two years of activity in an online, global gardening community of practice (our phenology circle) initiated to coordinate and communicate…

An Eye Gaze Heatmap Analysis of Uncertainty Head-Up Display Designs for Conditional Automated Driving

This paper reports results from a high-fidelity driving simulator study (N=215) about a head-up display (HUD) that conveys a conditional automated vehicle’s dynamic “uncertainty” about the current situation while fallback drivers watch entertaining videos. We compared (between-group) three design interventions: displa…

Mentorable Interfaces for Automated Vehicles: A New Paradigm for Designing Learnable Technology for Older Adults

We introduce a conceptual framework exploring the learning methods for older adults in navigating automated vehicle interfaces. Through semi-structured interviews, we observed distinct approaches to learning, and based on these, offer a novel conceptualization of a ‘mentorable’ interface to enhance technology educatio…
