The walkshop introduces participants to an embodied, structural approach to understand, conceptualize, and design experiences that blend physical and digital space to create a novel space of action, with its own sense of presence, its own affordances, ...

Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR and AR) technologies have inspired educational institutions to incorporate unique experiences for recruiting prospective students. With the turn to remote engagements and the advancements in AR technology towards ...

Cultural heritage practitioners continue to engage with ever-changing technological opportunities, and digital cultural items (DCIs) offer the potential for engaging interactive experiences. As DCIs become more prevalent, we are motivated to seek new ...

Recent developments in experience technologies such as augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) have facilitated receiving content about the audience on site and experiencing architectural heritage in a virtual space. Despite the development of ...

This article describes Aspects of Experiences for Design (AoE4D), a framework supported by an online toolkit that expands undergraduate and graduate students’ perceptions when conducting observational field research necessary for designing useful, ...

HCI projects bringing digital and interactive technologies into art museums are affected by a conception of the relation between art and design that narrows the available design space. This is often done by positioning such technologies either as ...

Ethical design can avoid collateral damage by anticipating or counteracting possible negative consequences of technology on society, users, environment, among others. In this course, we aim to provide knowledge about psychological needs and values and ...

Augmented space can be usefully applied to cultural heritage experience, because it is possible to experience physical space and acquire information at the same time. Experiencers can expand their experiences through virtual content while feeling the ...

When a child wants to talk with a toy, usually it is a one-way interaction with the child imagining the toy's responses. Our design enables every toy to have a two-way interaction using our low-cost interaction kit. The reaction of the toy is based on a ...

Current definitions of friction in user experience generally advocate for reducing or eliminating friction in the pursuit of efficiency and ease of use. As the field of user experience design increasingly aims to develop highly personalized ...

Social robots are increasingly introduced into children’s lives as educational and social companions, yet little is known about how these products might best be introduced to their environments. The emergence of the “unboxing” phenomenon in media ...

AURA is a speculative design project that criticizes the social problem, body image obsession, which is influenced by consumer culture, social media etc. In this regard, AURA consists of three woven light emitting interactive textile artifacts which ...

Decision support systems in intensive care units are developed with safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in mind. In contrast, user experience (UX) for decision support systems has received limited attention in practice and research. In this paper, we ...

While a number of technologies support people to be more physically active, their long-term success seems limited. For chronic conditions, such as Osteoarthritis, however, physical activity is an essential part of therapy. To develop supportive ...

In a world where public engagement is increasingly important, where there is the urge of leaving the research laboratories to tell people what is being done, and where the effort from Academy is still limited, we propose Death on the Nile, a novel ...

Food is an essential part of travel experience. Consumption of locally produced food while traveling has the two-fold benefit of providing insight into the local culture and increasing the sustainability of tourism. However, finding local food often ...

Virtual reality offers a potential solution to enable visiting inaccessible cultural heritage sites. We present the design, prototyping and evaluation (n = 6) of a virtual visit to a historic graveyard. The Salla World War II graveyard is located in an ...

In addressing the question of how we think and model the participant, user or audience for interactive systems, we initiate an interrogation of who we think we are, and what we think technology is in relation to who we think we are. Future-proofing ...

While the general debate about the potential of automated vehicles is pervasive, less is known about how people experience those vehicles in everyday life. To this end, we studied the experiential consequences of a speculative automated "valet parking" ...

The workshop is one of the activities inheriting and experiencing the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in modern times. It is mainly launched in the form of knowledge acquiring and hand-making experience which for users. There are studies show that ...
