This paper presents the perspective that sustainability can and should be a central focus of interaction design-a is termed Sustainable Interaction Design (SID). As starting point for sustainability, design defined as an act choosing among or informing choices future ways being. presented in terms values, methods, reasoning. The proposes (i) rubric understanding material effects particular cases forms use, reuse, disposal, (ii) several principles to guide SID. illustrates--with examples...

This paper takes up the problem of understanding why we preserve some things passionately and discard others without thought. We briefly report on theoretical literature relating to this question, both in terms existing HCI, as well related literatures that can advance for HCI community. use reading refine our frameworks durability digital artifice an issue sustainable interaction design HCI.

By its nature, the discipline of human computer interaction must take into consideration issues that are most pertinent to humans. We believe CHI community faces an unanswered challenge in creation interactive systems: sustainability. For example, climate scientists argue serious consequences change can be averted, but only if fundamental changes made. The goal this SIG is raise awareness these and start a conversation about possibilities responsibilities we have address

Eco-visualizations (EVs) are any kind of interactive device targeted at revealing energy use in order to promote sustainable behaviours or foster positive attitudes towards practices. There some interesting, informative, highly creative, and delightful EVs now available. This paper provides a critical survey several noteworthy classifies them terms scale contexts use. The attempts provide foundation for practitioners design new more varied scales researchers continue refine understandings...

Interactive devices and the services they support are reliant on cloud digital infrastructure supporting it. The environmental impacts of this substantial for particular can account up to 85% total impact. In paper, we apply principles Sustainable Interaction Design use infrastructure. We perform a critical analysis current design practice with regard interactive services, which identify as cornucopian paradigm. show how user-centered induce in different ways, combine technical business...

This paper describes the design and interprets results of a survey 435 undergraduate students concerning attitudes this mainly millennial population towards sustainability apropos material effects information technologies. follows from earlier work on notions Sustainable Interaction Design (SID)---that is perspective that can should be central focus within HCI.

What happens if efforts to achieve sustainability fail? Research in many fields argues that contemporary global industrial civilization will not persist indefinitely its current form, and may, like past human societies, eventually collapse. Arguments environmental studies, anthropology, other indicate this transformation could begin within the next half-century. While imminent collapse is far from certain, it prudent consider now how develop sociotechnical systems for use these scenarios. We...

Arguments environmental studies, anthropology, other indicate this transformation could begin within the next half-century. While imminent collapse is far from certain, it prudent to consider now how develop sociotechnical systems for use these scenarios. We introduce notion of informatics---the study, design,...

Many contemporary approaches to environmental sustainability focus on the end-consumer. In this panel, we explore lessons from small food producers for future development of HCI as an agency sustainable ways being. We argue that attention relationship have environment and their experiences interrelations between environmental, economic, social suggest new foundational issues research.

Crowdsourcing has emerged as a new learning and online collaborative paradigm, in which "crowds" of people can collaborate complete specific task. In this paper, we provide survey crowdsourcing means collaboration three different contexts, namely academic, enterprise, social. The also includes short inventory how factors contribute to the development crowdsourcing. Finally, develop outline open questions, insights, well research agenda for enhancing perspective HCI.

We describe a study that investigated how shared interactive tabletop (DiamondTouch) can be designed to provide new opportunities for supporting collaborative decision-making. Small groups of users were required work together using the table by selecting and placing digital images into calendar template justifying their choices one-to-another. A variety novel fingertip interactions developed support simultaneous, direct manipulation at tabletop. Our findings showed forms distributed emerged...

The current food practices around the world raises concerns for insecurity in future. Urban / suburban and peri-urban environments are particularly problematic their segregation from rural areas where natural sources grown harvested. Soaring urban population growth only deteriorates lack of understanding access to fresh produce people who live, work, play city.

This paper privileges visual contributions-original images and referenced materials-nearly as much text. As such, it follows a trend towards pictorials image intensive papers elsewhere in SIGCHI venues that have yet to find acceptance the CHI tracks. The both its text contributions takes up (a) ongoing questions of how designs matter-especially relation sustainability, (b) extending notions sustainability beyond environment include from respect for human labor between nations, (c) utility...

As a starting point, this paper considers compelling idea concerning fashion and sustainable HCI---rather than attempt to thwart fashion, or exhort people not engage in fashion-related behavior, instead, based on deeper understanding of the complexity utilize concept design products services so as resonate with those dimensions that are most compatible sustainability. Our ultimate vision is provide mechanisms allow designers use positive force for design, especially context HCI interaction...
