We explore how a combination of manipulations and transitions can extend Substitutional Reality to create highly personal Virtual experience. Our design aimed meet two challenges faced by museums: the limitations object handling desire for visitors their own interpretations. Using Research-through-Design methodology, we built performance-led Mixed (MR) experience that lets museum physically handle 3D prints or scans objects share stories about them. The are recorded donated participating...
Museums are interested in designing emotional visitor experiences to complement traditional interpretations. HCI is the relationship between Affective Computing and Interaction. We describe Sensitive Pictures, an experience co-created with Munch art museum. Visitors choose emotions, locate associated paintings museum, story while viewing them, self-report their response. A subsequent interview a portrayal of artist employs computer vision estimate responses from facial expressions. given...
We present an ethnographic study of the practice miniature wargaming in order to shed light onto complex lives physical things and ways which they acquire data footprints. take extended view practice, revealing how people invest great effort into crafting miniatures, playing with them, curating telling stories about passing them on. Throughout, we emphasise use both traditional digital technologies build rich In discussing our findings, adopt a "thing-centric" perspective that focuses on...
We explore how usage data captured from ideation cards can enable reflection on design. deployed a deck of Masters level module over two years, developing the means to capture students' designs into digital repository. created visualisations reveal relative co-occurrences as concept space and proximity (through used in common) design space. these elicit reflections perspectives students, teachers card designers. Our findings inspire ideas for extending data-driven use throughout process;...
In this paper we present our findings from an experiment designed to test the effectiveness of complex, thumbnail based layouts and interaction methods required, in video retrieval scenarios for handheld devices such as smartphones. Our evaluation explores relationship between number thumbnails (Quantity) visible on screen their discernible detail (Quality) with regards related necessary amount interaction. The results indicate that achieve a very high rate accuracy speed but nature is...
This paper presents an interactive thumbnail-based video browser for mobile devices such as smartphones featuring a touch screen. Developed part of on-going research and supported by user studies, it introduces HiStory, hierarchical storyboard design offering interface metaphor that is familiar intuitive yet supports fast effective completion Known-Item-Search tasks rapidly providing overview video's content with varying degrees granularity.
Much of academic discussion responsible innovation (RI) has focused on RI integration into research projects. In addition, significant attention also been paid to structures and policies at the policy institutional level. This article reports experiences implementation with a focus intermediate i.e. meso-level. The described here included series interviews that aimed clarify researchers' perspectives as well barriers benefits implementation. Two cases engagement projects, aim promoting RI,...
In this paper we introduce a novel fuzzy vector quantization algorithm that tries to solve certain problems related the implementation of cluster analysis in quantization. The proposed method employs an objective function combines merits and crisp clustering uniform fashion. algorithm's structure encompasses two basic design strategies. first one concerns transition from mode, where each training is assigned more than codewords, mode only codeword. To accomplish this, use analytical...
Abstract The capture and analysis of diverse data is widely recognized as being vital to the design new products services across digital economy. We focus on its use inspire co-design visitor experiences in museums a distinctive case that reveals opportunities challenges for personal data. present portfolio data-inspired visiting emerged from 3-year Research Through Design process. These include overlay virtual models physical exhibits, smartphone app creating personalized tours gifts,...
Gifting is socially and economically important. Studies of gifting physical objects have revealed motivations, values, the tensions between them, while HCI research has weaknesses digital explored possibilities hybrid gifting. We report an ‘in wild’ study a chocolate gift deployed as commercial product. Interviews reveal experiences receivers givers, well producer's friction points tangible benefits. how in gifts elevates grounds digital. discuss bridge tension receiver-preference...
We present the design of Memory Machine (MeMa), a technology probe that can store, contextualise, and document media to represent memories. accumulate vast physical digital possessions throughout our lives, making it difficult distinguish value in amassed images, albums, videos, mementos, music. One option we wanted explore via MeMa was frame personal memories as gift, turn providing way revisit, share, collate archives. deployed into participants' homes tasked them create gift involving an...
