Re-conceptualizing fashion in sustainable HCI

Our ultimate vision is to provide mechanisms to allow designers to use fashion as a positive force for sustainable ...

In this paper, we consider Seeger&amp;amp;amp;#x27;s essay,“On the Moods of a Music Logic”, and attempt to sketch the ideas it contains in a computational context. In order to do so, we propose a minimal set of criteria for music logics and a general method for their construction, inspired by the work of Per Martin‐Löf.

A survey of crowdsourcing as a means of collaboration and the implications of crowdsourcing for interaction design

In this paper, we provide a survey of crowdsourcing as a means of collaboration in three different contexts, namely academic, enterprise, and social. The survey also includes a short inventory of how different factors contribute to the development of crowdsourcing. Finally, we develop and outline open questions, insights, as well as a research agenda for enhancing ...

The rationale for this goal is found in an increasing interest in collective knowledge building and creation and the need to take on complex challenges or problems that would typically be beyond the capacity of the individual. Wikis, with their collaborative and collective features, are an interesting 'social software' that seems to hold potential for supporting collective knowledge building activities inside, outside and across institutional settings.

Transdisciplinary Interaction Design in Design Education

Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems - CHI EA '15, 2015

Transdisciplinary design-which is the idea of design that transcends disciplinary boundaries-has ... more Transdisciplinary design-which is the idea of design that transcends disciplinary boundaries-has been proposed as a fourth design paradigm of interaction design education, scholarship, and practice alongside the technical, cognitive, and ethnographic paradigms. As an educational concern in particular, its aim is to teach students how to bring a values orientation to interaction design. Its focuses are design frameworks, values and ethics, design for important themes such as sustainability, equity, adaptation, justice, and social responsibility. This panel maps the state of the art in transdisciplinary interaction design education, considering also design scholarship and practice in relation to design education. The panel collects together a group of educators from chosen to provide a global perspective, with panelists from Canada,

There are some interesting, informative, highly creative, and delightful EVs now available. This paper provides a critical survey of several noteworthy EVs and classifies them in terms of scale and contexts of use. The paper attempts to provide a foundation for practitioners to design new EVs in more varied scales and contexts and for researchers to continue to refine understandings of how effective EVs can be and how EVs can be made to be more effective. The paper describes (i) feedback types and use-contexts for classifying EVs and (ii) strategies for designing effective EVs.

We describe that research about the human interactivity implications of and for cloud computing has yet to enter the arena of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in a significant way.

The intention is to deliberately push at the boundaries of what a pictorial contribution might be and mean in the context of HCI and design. In this contribution, the collection of images does not so much play the role of documentation of process, nor photo-ethnographic design research, but rather in its curation and concern for both meaning and quality of form, it is intended as design making in-and-of-itself.

Understanding why we preserve some things and discard others in the context of interaction design

We briefly report on the theoretical literature relating to this question, both in terms of existing literature in HCI, as well as in terms of related literatures that can advance the understanding for the HCI community. We use this reading to refine our frameworks for understanding durability in digital artifice as an issue of sustainable interaction design in HCI. Next, we report in detail on our ongoing work in collecting personal inventories of digital artifice in the home context. We relate our prior and most current personal inventories collections to the framework that owes to our reading of the theoretical literature. Finally, we summarize the theoretical implications and findings of our personal inventories work in terms of implications for the design of digital artifice in a manner that is more durable.

How deep is your love: deep narratives of ensoulment and heirloom status.

This paper draws on research on fifteen deep narratives that we collected to uncover detailed accounts of relationships between each participant and a single particular loved artifact or collection of a single type. Three themes emerged from our analysis of the narratives: (i) intimacy accumulated as an association with an object over time, (ii) investment of effort to learn and control functionality, and (iii) implicit values related to the patterns of collection of artifacts. In conceptualizing these three themes as an analytical frame, we arrived at two unifying notions that generally apply across many of the narratives and that serve as catalysts to design principles, namely the notion of rarity of an object, and the notion of aficionado-appeal of an object. We conclude by considering how these unifying notions can be used reflectively and judiciously to prompt design principles for interaction designers at least, and possibly as design principles in-and-of-themselves.
