Fitter, Happier, More Productive?: The Normative Ontology of Fitness Trackers
CHI EA '18: Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Fitness trackers promise a longer and better life for the people who engage with them. What is forgotten in their analysis for HCI, though, is how they re-conceptualise the very notion of what constitutes a 'step'. We discuss everyday edge cases ...
