We present a case study of an iterative design process that includes a conversation analyst. We discuss potential benefits of conversation analysis for design, and we describe our strategies for integrating the conversation analyst in the…
Pervasive personal communication technologies offer the potential for important social benefits for individual users, but also the potential for significant social difficulties and costs. In research on face-to-face social interaction,…
We present an account of an ongoing practice-based Design Research programme that explores the interaction affordances of real-time AI image generators. Based on our experiences from three installations, we reflect on the design of PromptJ,…
This chapter introduces the concept of Collective Intelligence for Deliberative Democracy (CI4DD). We propose that the use of computational tools, specifically artificial intelligence to advance deliberative democracy, is an instantiation…
The opaque nature of many intelligent systems violates established usability principles and thus presents a challenge for human-computer interaction. Research in the field therefore highlights the need for transparency, scrutability,…
Increasing amounts of sensor-augmented research objects have been used in design research. We call these objects Data-Enabled Objects, which can be integrated into daily activities capturing data about people's detailed whereabouts,…
Hybrid work settings often lack the informal communication that naturally emerges from spontaneous encounters and ambient awareness of coworkers' activities, potentially hindering team collaboration. To address this challenge, we explored…
Selecting appropriate sensors and actuators is a pivotal aspect of design and engineering, particularly in projects involving interactive systems. This article introduces the Design Thinking Based Iterative Sensor and Actuator Selection…
Since this century, the speed, availability, and plethora of online informational content have made it increasingly difficult for humans to keep an overview of real-world situations, build a personal opinion, and sometimes even decide on…
My research aims to design systems for complex sensemaking by remotely located non-expert collaborators (crowds), to solve computationally hard problems like crimes.
Virtualizing the physical world into virtual models has been a critical technique for robot navigation and planning in the real world. To foster manipulation with articulated objects in everyday life, this work explores building…
Sensor-based interactive systems -- e.g., "smart" speakers, webcams, and RFID tags -- allow us to embed computational functionality into physical environments. They also expose users to real and perceived privacy risks: users know that…
With today's technologies it seems easier than ever to augment everyday things with the ability to perceive their environment and to talk to users. Considering conversational user interfaces, tremendous progress has already been made in…
Recent changes to data protection regulation, particularly in Europe, are changing the design landscape for smart devices, requiring new design techniques to ensure that devices are able to adequately protect users' data. A particularly…
Modern ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has developed a vision where the "computer" is no longer associated with the concept of a single device or a network of devices, but rather the entirety of situated services originating…
We propose a one-day transdisciplinary creative workshop in the broad area of HCI focused on multiple opportunities of incorporating participatory design into research and industry practice. This workshop will become a venue to share…
From a closed and controlled environment, neglecting all the external disturbances, information processing systems are now exposed to the complexity and the aleas of the physical environment, open and uncontrolled. Indeed, as envisioned by…
As AI systems increasingly become embedded in interactive and im-mersive artistic environments, artists and technologists are discovering new opportunities to engage with their interpretive and autonomous capacities as creative…
Conversational AI systems increasingly function as primary interfaces for information seeking, yet how they present sources to support information evaluation remains under-explored. This paper investigates how source transparency design…
As governments increasingly adopt digital tools, public service chatbots have emerged as a growing communication channel. This paper explores the design considerations and engagement opportunities of public service chatbots, using a 311…
