Welcome to Digital Interaction: Culture Lab andthe activities that we are are involved in at thisyear’s ACM SIGCHI Conerence on Human Fac-tors in Computing Systems (CHI’12).

Digital Interaction is a research group in theSchool o Computing Science at Newcastle Uni-versity, UK. We’re based in Culture Lab, Newcas-tle’s centre or cross-disciplinary digital practice,and like many practice-oriented HCI groups ourmembers hail rom a wide range o disciplinesincluding music, lm, ne art, psychology, archi-tecture, speech therapy and social gerontology.

The backgrounds o our collaborators are evenmore diverse – which is something we activelypursue – we like to think o ourselves as dynamicand sympathetic collaborators or anyone inter-

ested in people or technology. Our particularinterests are in “making”, “in the wild” design,development and evaluation, and the use o crea-tive practice as a lens through which to view therelationship between people and technology.

I any o the people or work included in theollowing pages are o interest to you, then eithertrack us down at CHI’12 or drop us an email andwe will track you down!

Creating lm content or broadcast is a high pressure andcomplex activity. While technologies are being developedor digitizing and streamlining sections o the produc-tion workow, a gap remains between creative decisionsmade on location and those made during digital editingand post-production. StoryCrate is a tangible, tabletopinterace to be deployed on a lm shoot, which uses astoryboard as a shared data representation to drive teamcreativity. We dene creativity in terms o team produc-tion, using an in-situ deployment with a prototype, usedby a proessional production team during a lm shoot.

Microsoft Research

HoloDesk is an interactive system combining an opticalsee through display and Kinect camera to create the illu-sion that users are directly interacting with 3D graphics.

A virtual image o a 3D scene is rendered through a hal silvered mirror and spatially aligned with the real-worldor the viewer. Users easily reach into an interactionvolume displaying the virtual image. This allows the userto literally get their hands into the virtual display andto directly interact with a spatially aligned 3D virtualworld, without the need or any specialized head-wornhardware or input device.

Our work describes a eld study o an interac-tive surace deployed in three amily homes.The tabletop technology provides a centralplace where digital content, such as photos,can be easily archived, managed and viewed.The tabletop aords multi-touch input, allow-ing digital content to be sorted, triaged andinteracted with using one or two-handedinteractions. A physics-based simulation addsdynamics to digital content, providing userswith rich ways o interacting that borrowsrom the real-world. The eld study is oneo the rst o a surace computer within adomestic environment. Our goal is to uncover

people’s interactions, appropriations, percep-tions and experiences with such technologies,exploring the potential barriers to use.

Material artiacts are passed down as a way o sustaining rela-tionships and amily history. However, new issues are emerg-

ing as amilies are increasingly let with the digital remainso their loved ones. We designed three devices to investigatehow digital materials might be passed down, lived with andinherited in the uture. We conducted in-home interviewswith 8 amilies using the devices to provoke discussion abouthow technology might support (or complicate) their exist-ing practices. Sessions revealed amilies desired to treat theirarchives in ways not ully supported by technology as well aspotential tensions that could emerge.

The use o digital technologies is increasingly proposedin health and social care to address the aging popula-tion phenomenon, however, in practice, the designerso these technologies are ill equipped to design or olderpeople. We suggest participatory design as an approach toimproving the quality o design or older people. Based onprevious work and our own experiences, we identiy ourcentral issues that participatory design approaches need toaddress. Our work describes an approach to early engage-ment in design with older people, that addresses each o these issues, and alongside some o our experiences apply-ing the approach in a variety o dierent design projects.

This project looked at the development, application and evalu-ation o a design method tailored or working with people withmild to moderate dementia. The tenet o our approach wasthat to overcome dierences in views we needed to create anempathic relationship between participants and designers. Wemodied participatory design techniques to oster respectulengagement with participants in the development o a digitalaid to acilitate ‘sae walking’. The process began with broadqualitative scoping and design work then moved to a develop-ing personally tailored, individual designs to urther explore theexperiential elements o the domain whilst reducing the needor the participants to engage in abstract thought.

Viewpoint is a public voting device developed to allow resi-dents in a disadvantaged community to make their voicesheard through a simple, lightweight interaction. Thiswas intended to open a new channel o communicationwithin the community and increase community members’perception o their own efcacy. Local elected ofcials andcommunity groups were able to post questions on deviceslocated in public spaces, where residents could vote orone o two responses. Question authors were subsequentlyrequired to post a response indicating any actions to betaken. Following a two-month trial, we present our experi-ences and contribute guidelines or the design o publicdemocracy tools and dimensions impacting their eective-ness, including credibility, efcacy and ormat.

This project was anenquiry into design ordementia, acilitated bya public art commission,or a UK adult mentalhealth unit. The interactiveart piece was inormed by the notion o personhood in dementia that oregrounds the person’ssocial being and interpersonal relationships as sites where sel ismaintained and constructed. The ways in which clients, their amilymembers and sta used the piece were reported and insights relatedto the notions o home, intimacy, possessions and sel were presented.The art piece served as a window on both dementia and the institutionleading to a number o insights and implications or design.

This project explored the design o digital paymentservices in collaboration with people aged 80+. Manyolder people nd cheques valuable as a means o pay-ment but the UK Payments Council recently proposedtheir abolition. We looked at two designs whichsimultaneously aimed to preserve and augment thepaper cheque as a means o making electronic pay-ments. Workshop discussions resulted in the creationo a real world cheque system where we issued pre-paid cheques without the involvement o banks. Thiswork inormed the development o a digital chequebook based on Anoto digital pen technology.

This project involved conducting a series o participatory designworkshops with ten people over eighty years old on the topic o new banking technologies. Participants were asked to discuss theircurrent experiences o banking and given packs o concept cardswhich contained design sk etches and brie outlines o concepts ornew nancial services. The designs on the cards were deliberatelyprovocative and aimed to encourage criticism and debate. The par-ticipants were extremely critical o current banking practices andmost o the new concepts we presented to them. Their questionsand comments led to a number o insights and urther iterations.

Monitoring nutritional intake is an important aspect o the care o older people, particularly or those at risk o malnutrition. Current practice or monitoring ood intakerelies on hand written ood charts which have severalinadequacies. We explored the design and validation o atool or computer-assisted visual assessment o patient oodand nutrient intake. The user is presented with an imageo a standardised hospital meal on a touch screen PC. They

erase rom the image a corresponding amount to that o a patient’s partially consumed meal. The weight o oodconsumed is calculated as a percentage o pixels rubbed outagainst pixels in a per item mask. Results suggest that theapplication may be a useul tool or the conservative assess-ment o nutritional intake in hospitals.

We present a novel yet simple technique which mitigates theintererence caused when multiple structured light depth cam-eras point at the same part o a scene. The technique is particu-larly useul or Kinect, where the structured light source is notmodulated. Our technique requires only mechanical augmen-tation o the Kinect, without any need to modiy the internalelectronics, rmware or associated host sotware. It is thereoresimple to replicate. We show qualitative and quantitative resultshighlighting the improvements made to interering Kinect depthsignals. The camera rame rate is not compromised, which is aproblem in approaches that modulate the structured light source.

People have reported encountering coincidences when usingparticular technologies to interact with personal digital content.However, to date, there is a paucity o research to understandthese experiences. We applied McCarthy and Wright’s experien-tial ramework to analyse these kinds o technology-mediatedcoincidences. By ocusing upon encounters o coincidence dur-ing people’s digital music listening, we identied the elements atplay, elucidated the properties o the individual elements, theirinter-relationships, and an understanding o how coincidencescan arise. We also revealed how, under particular conditions,such elements provide people with opportunities to encountercoincidence. This understanding o coincidence demonstrateshow McCarthy and Wright’s ramework can be useully appliedto an empirical investigation o user experience.

BinCam is a social persuasive systemto motivate reection and behav-ioral change in peoples’ ood wasteand recycling habits through digital

images captured by a smart phoneinstalled on the underside o the lido a kitchen bin. Captured imagesare uploaded to a BinCam applica-tion on Facebook, where users canexplore, review or share communica-tions about the bin-related behavioro themselves and others. The systemis provocative and specically set upto evoke eelings o guilt which isenvisioned to stimulate interestingdiscussions on the ethics, challengesand rich potentials when designingand evaluating persuasive systems.

We present our current work-in-progress design-ing technologies to oster social connection withisolated immigrant women in the UK. We report

on our preliminary ndings using digital sto-rytelling and digital portraits with participantsat a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME)centre supporting women, some o whom haveexperiences o domestic violence. The approaches have provided valu-able insights, but in contexts where participants eel vulnerable andcultural diversity is the norm, HCI’s conventional assumptions aboutstorytelling and probe use cannot be taken or granted. We describeour process o adapting methods and negotiating tensions while build-ing rapport to co-construct narratives and share experiences.

Tiles is a novel graphical authentication system in whichusers are assigned a target image and subsequently askedto select segments o that image. We empirically assess theextent to which this system provides protection againsttwo security threats: observation attacks and sharing o authentication credentials in two laboratory-based studies.

We note some o the vulnerabilities o the new systembut provide evidence that automated manipulation o thesimilarity o the decoy images can help mitigate the threatrom verbal sharing and observation attacks.

Lightweight, opportunistic participatory design exercises in publicspaces have the potential to collect large volumes o candid eedback and insights rom members o the public. We motivate the need or‘designing on the street’ in terms o the time and resource requirementso traditional participatory design methods, and begin the process o unpicking the conditions or success and practical requirements. Wedemonstrate through a pilot study that opportunistic participatorydesign can be a useul tool or addressing design challenges in everydaysettings, where most people have some amiliarity with the design area.

Although there is a good coverage o methodo-logical and design related topics in the HCI lit-erature, there is still a lack o theoretical ocusin the rapidly increasing work on user experi-ence (UX). We analyzed 122 individual items ontheories collected in a CHI’11 special interestgroup session on UX theories and theoreti-cal rameworks. The data set was ltered and

categorized in several iterations, resulting in 56items distributed over 7 major theory catego-ries and related to 9 relevant disciplines. Thecategories are an initial mapping o the eldand point towards the directions or urtherconceptual and theoretical clarication. Ourresults help to explore the multi-disciplinarynature o UX and to build a more solid ounda-tion or UX research and practice.

We describe an on-going study that exploresthe introduction o digital technology intoplay therapy. While digital technologies areincreasingly used in educational and directivetherapeutic contexts with older children, theyare largely missing rom non-directive playtherapy settings with younger children.

High quality user experience (UX) hasbecome a central competitive actor o products in mature consumer markets.Improving UX during product develop-ment and research requires evaluation buttraditional usability testing methods are notadequate or evaluating UX. Since 2008, wehave been collecting a comprehensive set o 80 UX evaluation methods both rom aca-demia and industry, which are now avail-able at www.allaboutux.org/all-methods.During this course, we present an over-view o the set o methods andpresent some methods in more

detail. By the end o this course,participants are able to choosesuitable methods or their specicuser experience evaluation case.Participants will understand thedierence between UX evaluationand traditional usability evaluation methods, as well as the variety o UX evaluation methods available.

Food and interaction design present an interesting challenge to theHCI community in attending to the pervasive nature o ood, thesocio-cultural dierences in ood practices and a changing global ood-

scape. To design or meaningul and positive interactions it is essentialto identiy daily ood practices and the opportunities or the design o technology to support such practices. This workshop brings together acommunity o researchers and practitioners in human-ood interac-tion to attend to the practical and theoretical difculties in designingor human-ood interactions in everyday lie. Through a practical eldstudy and workshop we explore themes o ood experiences, healthand wellbeing, sustainability and alternative ood cultures.

Liveness has long been a valued quality o massmedia presentation in areas such as music, sportsand debate. The rapid development o new digitalmedia and the interpenetration o these media andstaged perormance, places liveness centre stagein attempts to understand emerging human-computer congurations. This workshop will bringtogether insights rom a variety o disciplines andperspectives to explore how HCI can benet romcritical engagement with theoretical and practicaltreatment o liveness. To seed discussion and action,participants will engage reectively with the livenesso an authentic perormance, experienced rsthand

and at one-remove through a mediating technology,using an innovative video-based methodology.

The role o interactive technologies at End o Lie(EoL) is a recently established and quickly grow-ing topic in the CHI community. In this workshop,we ocus on the design space, methodologies andprocesses associated with EoL, moving orwardthe research agenda initiated in the successulCHI 2010 workshop “HCI at the End o Lie”. Inparticular, we ocus on moving rom eldwork tothanatosensitive design – a process which engageswith EoL issues as part o the design concept.

Our interactions with technology can shape ourexperiences and, in turn, inuence our sense o sel and identity. Yet, how sel and identity is per-ormed and constituted during such interactionsis yet to be explicated. This one-day workshopaims to explore the topic by ocusing uponPerormative Theory. To this end, we welcometheoretical discussion, themes o interest, meth-odological implications, challenges, blind spots,and pragmatic aspects o designing technology inrelation to identity, taking a perormative stance.

Theories provide a way to understand the dierent perspec-tives and acets o user experience (UX). Experience itsel has been studied by dierent disciplines such as sociology,psychology, management, marketing and ergonomics. Manyo these theories and the disciplines studying experiencehave proven useul or interaction design as well as or userevaluation studies. The criteria or choosing one theoreticalorientation over another are oten not made clear, despitetheir important methodological consequences. A majorcontribution o this workshop is to clariy the applicabilityand transerability o dierent theories, theoretical ounda-tions, concepts in inorming UX design and evaluationin both research and practice. In particular we look intotheories that have already been applied in practice.

The essence o perormance art that makes it most appealing to artistsand audiences is the liveness, the one o nature o the experience andthe impossibility o reproduction. Ater participating in a perormancework, our memory o the experience can be spurred by a recording o the event. However, documentation does not acilitate our under-standing o what is happening in the process o creative participationand thereore the experience cannot be eectively communicated. Itis intangible, hidden and mysterious. There is an opportunity withindigital media/HCI to develop methods o collecting narrative andmore ambient inormation rom the work, creating alternative ways o looking at the articulation o a l ive experience.

We present current work on designingtechnologies to support social connec-tion or immigrant women in the UK.The paper presents design insights roma study with a centre supporting Black,

Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME)women. We used digital storytelling andportraits to acknowledge the diverse

cultural backgrounds and the emotion-ally challenging past experiences o thewomen, which highlighted the impor-tance o situated and intimate sharing.

We present our insights describingsocial connection as perormed throughtechnology to support emerging identi-ties, co-constructed through the crat-ing and rehearsal o stories.

Drawing upon practical experiences o work-ing with artists and designers who have useddigital technologies such as motion capture asa tool in the production o works that activelyseek to exploit qualities o liveness such as

“intimacy”, “temporality” and “perormativeaccidents”, I propose that the relevance o ‘live-ness’ extends to art orms beyond perormanceper se. The projects I have examined embraceaspects o perormance, but have used digitaltechnology to generate novel orms, whichreveal insights into dierent representations,mediations and experiences o liveness.

Digital technologies have alreadybeen successully deployedin psychotherapy with olderchildren and adults. Yet, it islargely absent in non-directivetherapy or young children as itis perceived by the proession asa disruption to the developmento the therapeutic relationship.Motivated by the lack o empiri-cal evidence to support this view,

we explore the application o interactive tabletops in non-directive play therapy to supportchildren’s emotional wellbeing.

We present a set o digital toys,Magic Land, designed to encour-age the child’s storytelling, crea-tive and emotional expression ina therapeutic context.

This is a tentative exploration into design tosupport meaningul interpersonal engagements,genuine intimacy and reciprocity, which promotethe ormation and maintenance o stable andsupportive relationships, and thereby a person’semotional wellbeing. Reecting on the quali-ties o social interactions and communicationsstimulated by existing social technologies such asFacebook, twitter or robotic social companions,the position argues or designs o interactive tech-nology that eel more like a slower paced ormo investment with communications being moremeaningul, private and open to sel-disclosure,similar perhaps to the qualities o a written letter.

Why should we start taking the (im)material seriously in HCI, and howcan we start? We ask this question not because we can answer it butbecause it appears to be o crucial signicance to contemporary HCI.Notions o crat are becoming increasingly relevant within the studyo human relations with technology. There is increased attention tohow ideas related to ‘design in use’ might play in an increased senseo participation with, and through, digital technologies. We explorethe notion o (im)material engagement as users become implicated

as craters o their own digital experiences, through their engagementwith computationally augmented (im)material.

This CHI Design Community SIGbrings together invited expertswho have explored participation todiferent degrees within their pastwork to provoke group and plenaryaudience discussion. Whilst atten-tion to participation has lead to alarge amount o methodologicalinnovation in HCI, very little eforthas been spent reecting on why

various participatory approachesshould, or should not be usedand how we can assess theirimpacts on the design process andproducts. The SIG will providean opportunity or discussionand reection on how and whyparticipative methods are used inHCI research and practice.
