Drawing from a study of everyday home practices material objects' perspective, this paper examines the potential that thing ethnography holds for both design and anthropology. In doing so, challenges anthropocentric assumptions about world, opens up ways understanding relationships among people, objects use would be difficult to elicit through traditional observations interviews alone.
Blockchain is an emerging infrastructural technology that proposed to fundamentally transform the ways in which people transact, trust, collaborate, organize and identify themselves. In this paper, we construct a typology of blockchain applications, consider domains they are applied, distinguishing features new technology. We argue there unique role for HCI community linking design application towards lived experience articulation human values. particular, note how accounting transactions,...
Mobile connectivity enables the adoption of new ways to connect with social networks which are changing how we might, and could, seek support. In tourism domain increasingly blend online offline presence engage in spatial location, at a distance across time. This paper explores forms community that exist physical contexts, contexts not previously analysed through lens, mobile technology is creating connections within beyond existing networks. It examines sustainable can be enhanced by...
In this discussion, we propose seeing design in the layering and intertwining of diverse logic models, their experience at varying scales, our ability—'our' being not a collective but as authors, you readers, whatever roles have—to determine what think needs to be doing, how can achieve that.
Computational systems and objects are becoming increasingly closely integrated with our daily activities. Ubiquitous pervasive computing first identified the emerging challenges of studying technology used on-the-move in widely varied contexts. With IoT, previously sporadic experiences interconnected across time space numerous complex ways. This increasing complexity has multiplied facing those who study human experience to inform design. paper describes results a that chatbot or 'Ethnobot'...
Technologies such as blockchains, smart contracts and programmable batteries facilitate emerging models of energy distribution, trade consumption, generate a considerable number opportunities for markets. However, these developments complicate relationships between stakeholders, disrupting traditional notions value, control ownership. Discussing issues with the public is particularly challenging consumption habits often obscure competing values interests that shape stakeholders'...
Despite many countries having physical activity guidelines, there have been few concerted efforts to mobilize this information the public. The aim of study was understand preferences under-served community groups about how benefits activity, and associated can be better communicated Participatory workshops, co-developed between researchers, a local charity, artist, were used gather data from four in Bristol, UK: young people (n = 17); adults 11); older 5); Somali women 15).
