Transhuman Communication: Human Augmentation Technologies through Co-Speculation Workshops [Forthcoming]

Abstract

The advancement of human-computer integration as a research field promises to introduce transhumanistic ways of communicating through the enhanced abilities of augmented humans. Our work seeks to illuminate the experiential landscape, exploring a diverse set of human augmentation technologies (HATs) for communicative purposes. We investigated this topic through four co-speculation workshops focusing on physical, cognitive, sensory and emotional augmentations with 35 participants. Through the analysis of the workshop data, we outlined speculations for 8 human augmentation technologies (HATs) for transhuman communication, grouped into four overarching augmentation clusters: (1) Bodily Changes in/for Communication, (2) Communication with Transferrable and Collective Beings, (3) Communication Through Emotion and Memory, and (4) Communication with Augmented/Altered Perception. These speculations serve as a foundation for discussions on transhumanism and communication in CSCW and beyond. Our work contribute a design space highlighting design opportunities and challenges for developing and researching near-future communication technologies.

Toward next generation mixed reality games: a research through design approach

Abstract

Mixed reality (MR) games refer to games that integrate physical entities with digitally mediated contents. Currently, it entities game creators to integrate heterogeneous virtual and physical components, which is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, without the support of a coherent technology stack. The underlying technology manifested by the research corpus suggestions a complicated, multi-dimensional design space that goes beyond merely technical concerns. In this research, we adopted a research-through-design approach and proposed an MR game technology stack that facilitates flexible, low-code game development. As design grounding, we first survey 34 state-of-the-art studies, and results were synergized into three different Spectra of technological affordances, respectively activity range, user interface and feedback control, to inform our next design process. We then went through an iterative prototype phase and implemented an MR game development toolset. A co-design workshop was conducted, where we invited 15 participants to try the prototype tools and co-ideate the potential use scenarios for the proposed technology stack. First-hand user feedback was collected via questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. As a result, four conceptual game designs with three major design implications were generated, which conjointly reflect a broader understanding on MR gameful experience and contribute fresh insights to this emerging research domain.

Human-Robot Companionship: Current Trends and Future Agenda

Abstract

The field of robotics has grown exponentially over the years, especially the social aspect, which has enabled robots to interact with humans meaningfully. Robots are now used in many domains, such as manufacturing, healthcare, education, entertainment, rehabilitation, etc. Along with their widespread use in many real-life environments, robots have been used as companions to humans. With the increased amount of research done on human–robot partnership (HRC), it is important to understand how this domain is developing, in which direction, and what the future might hold. There is also a need to understand the influenza factors and what kind of empirical results are in the literature. To address these questions, we conducted a systematic literature review and analyzed a final number of 134 relevant articles. The findings suggest that anthropomorphic and zoomorphic robots are more popular as human companions, while there is a lack of interest in functional and caricatured robots. Also, human-like and animal-like features are implemented more in companion robots. Studies rarely exploit the mobility available in these robots in companionship scenarios, especially in outdoor settings. In addition to that, co-existence and co-performance-based implementation with people have been observed rarely. Based on the results, we propose a future research agenda that includes thematic, theoretical, methodological, and technological agendas. This study will help us understand the current state and use of robotic companies which will then potentially aid in determining how HRC can be leveraged and integrated more seamlessly into human lives for better effectiveness.

Ecological In/Congruence: Becoming Sensitised to Nature in Video Games through Humanistic First-Person Research

Abstract

The ongoing ecological crisis is the current biggest threat for our species. As we attempt to address the situation through policy, interventions, and education, we urgently need to understand how people encounter and relate to nature: As it is, in the world, and portrayed through different media. As an exemplary medium facilitating digital nature, this paper focuses on video games. Using first-person research methods, we report on the first author sensitising themselves to nature as a ubiquitous feature, theme, and actor in video games. They played eight nature-focused games for three months. Through auto-ethnography, close reading and “noticing” (after Tsing), we make sense of their experiences using the humanistic concept of ecological (in)congruence: We draw out the relational gap and potential meanings between real nature and its virtual equivalent. Based on these insights, we outline two design impulses for how the HCI community might approach nature—within games and beyond.

Seeding a Repository of Methods-To-Be for Nature-Entangled Design Research

Abstract

We share an emergent repository of nature-entangled methods-to-be shared, experimented with, and discussed with during a conference workshop. We present them in-use, as they are in formation. We do not seek to theorise or even fully articulate these methods-to-be. Rather, to make them approachable and actionable for others by showing them not fully polished. By doing this, we advocate for increased transparency in the difficulties of creating new methods, techniques, tools, and approaches. Our contribution is threefold: we provide 1) an annotated portfolio of methods-to-be; 2) illustrative examples of how cross-pollination of these methods can enrich their situated use; and 3) a discussion of ways to further articulate the methods and deepen reflection on their roles in nature-entangled design processes.

Envisioning Transhuman Communication Research: Speculative Human Augmentation Technologies and Fictional Abstracts

Abstract

Throughout human history, communication has evolved and diversified through various means, rom natural languages to modern forms like video and virtual reality. Now, a paradigm shift, transhumanism, is proposing the integration of machines and computers into the human body to augment individuals physically, sensorily, cognitively, and emotionally. In this pictorial, we examine “How can we approach the design of transhuman technologies for communication?” and “How might future research examine their impact on communication?” For this, we conducted co-speculation workshops to identify design opportunities, and based on them, created fictional a bstracts envisioning future research. Our work contributes a set of design speculations and a range of thought-provoking research ideas that will foster discussions about probable pitfalls and benefits of transhuman technologies in the future of communication.

Designing locative human-forest interactions through playful design workshops

Abstract

Technological advances offer opportunities to motivate and support meaningful interactions wit forests and nature. This paper outlines the findings of three distinct design days, all centred on humanforest interaction. The objective is to explore the gameful potential of the intersection between humans, forests, and technology. The design approach in all scenarios involved an outdoor activity, such as geocaching, and a design workshop where card-based ideation methods were used to develop initial ideas. These concepts were further refined and captured as toy-play and play-acting videos. The design days resulted in twelve ideas from twelve groups, each drawing inspiration from the outdoor activity portion of each day which was conducted in a forest or forest-like location. This paper presents the final ideas and analyses them based on their story, characters, setting, values, and goals. The final video outcomes generated by the groups highlight the scope of the design space in human-forest interplay, revealing numerous new avenues for utilising technology in enhancing our connection with forests and nature.

“Beavers don’t walk on roads”: Beaver-play for more-than-human cartographies

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notion of beaver-play to understand play that challenges spatial conventions, transgresses boundaries, and redraws territories. Tracing how beavers are imagined in various contexts such as nature conservation, experimental rewilding practices, and performance art, we highlight the role of the beaver in stories of ecosystem management, collapse, and restoration. We investigate beaver imaginaries through the perspective of play and games, taking the popular citybuilding video game Timberborn as our case study. We employ sketching as a method to annotate and analyse play practices in the digital spaces of Timberborn, drawing out three modes of beaver-play: concerns, crossings, and flows. Highlighting the role of play in territorial and organisational fluidity, we draw attention to the way that beaver-play scaffolds moving in and out of spatial arrangements, territories and environmental systems. Discussing how the practices of playing and drawing intertwined into a process of more-than-human cartography, we extend our investigation to consider the broader implications of using video games as cartographic, performative spaces for more-thanhuman meaning-making.

Wearable gaming technology: A study on the relationships between wearable features and gameful experiences

Abstract

With the parallel advancement and evolution of psycho-physiological sensors, haptics, and overall wearable computing, wearable devices have become a mainstay in everyday life. While gaming is one of the most intuitively appealing areas for using wearable devices, most gaming concepts relying on wearable devices have had only moderate success. Therefore, further knowledge is needed by game developers for innovating new gaming concepts, by wearable designers to innovate new affordances for gaming in wearables, and by gamers for seeing the possibilities of what wearables can bring to gaming. To address this research problem, we combined vignette and survey studies (N=289) to investigate which features of wearables (integrability, wearability, modularity, sociability, programmability, bio-adaptability, audiovisuality, and embodied modality) would lead to gameful experiences. Overall, the results indicate that integrability to games, wearability, modularity, and sociability were dimensions of wearables which were most strongly connected with the expectation of a heightened game experience. The findings of the study contribute to the current understanding of the experiential value of gaming wearables, as well as providing practical guidance for gaming wearables designers and marketers.

The relationship of visual and aural perspective with decentering in virtual reality

Abstract

Several areas of application for virtual reality technologies have seen significant growth recently, including mindfulness practice. This paper investigates the relationship between the mindfulness-related construct of decentering, i.e., detaching oneself from automatic thinking and observing one's thoughts and emotions, and body representation within virtual reality. Using a within-subjects approach, we investigated whether a third-person perspective, both in terms of visual and aural representation, affects decentering in virtual reality. This was done using a virtual reality application that presented a guided body-scan meditation in virtual reality and utilised these different forms of perspective. Our results do not show a significant effect of either form of perspective on decentering in virtual reality.

Composing Music Through Tile-based Games

Abstract

In the realm of music we have multiple examples of successful rock stars, composers and producers who describe themselves as self-taught. This suggests there might be a demand in formal music education for learning technologies that support students’ self-propelled discovery. In this theoretical work, we explore the design space of educational music composing games that would allow students to explore and learn music theory concepts at their leisure. We designed four unique tile-based music creation games based on popular contemporary video game genres, and evaluated them from the perspectives of learning and musical expression. This study opens up new avenues in music composing game design, and offers examples of some ways in which games can be harnessed as vehicles to learn music theory and composition.

[WORKSHOP] Designerly ways of engaging with nature

Abstract

In this workshop, we will bring together designers and researchers working with, for, and around nature to facilitate a transversal conversation around how to engage nature as a key part of our design processes. By deliberately adopting an open and ambiguous idea of what we mean by ‘nature’, we hope to embrace diverse kinds of more-than-human entanglements, including (but not only): farming, companion species, microbiomes, body ecologies, forests and other large-scale landscapes (e.g. oceans), or cohabitation in houses. We argue for the importance of taking such an open-ended perspective, to embrace all possible relevant vectors of nature-related design: multispecies, cohabitation, posthuman sustainability, posthuman care… The workshop is set as a as a platform for shared methodological reflection through the lenses of a more-than-human approach to posthuman research. It will primarily be in-person, given our aim of bringing researchers together and co-experiencing each others’ methods and techniques.

A Systematic Literature Review on Computational Fashion Wearables

Abstract

Computational wearables are redefining our presence in the world and transforming our lifestyles by engendering a seamless connection between the wearer and the worn. Despite numerous original studies on the development as well as the current advances of wearables, a systematic review from the standpoint of fashion seems to be lacking. Thus, this systematic review aimed to explore the current state of research on computational fashion in wearables’ literature in terms of the key domains, theoretical models, materials, interaction modalities, and existing gaps. To this aim, the authors built a search string based on the keywords in related topics and conducted the research using Scopus databases. As a result, a total of 4777 papers between January 1990 to August 2021 were screened and 82 research study papers finally passed the inclusion-exclusion criteria for the purpose of the review. The results display: first, computational wearables’ studies are becoming more inclined towards the aesthetic aspects of fashion wearables; second, although the functional aspects of the design processes received more attention, embodiment was the most discussed theory in the included studies; third, the extensive application of fabric implied the need for new fabrics with both smart quality and flexibility to afford aesthetic aspects; fourth, ambient data as input modalities received extensive attention in fashion wearables; fifth, kinetic output modalities as novel modes of fashion expression are becoming as prevalent as visual modalities. Finally, our findings provide a detailed overview of distinct facets of studies on computational fashion and a future research agenda for researchers and designers working on fashion and wearables.

Crafting Bodies and Auras: Speculative Designs for Transhuman Communication

Abstract

Bodies exhibit communicative qualities, including gestures, facial expressions, body odors, and changes in proximity, like tattoos, clothing, and accessories. However, a transformative shift in human bodies looms ahead, propelled by transhumanism’s proposition of integrating machines with humans to enhance physical, sensorial, cognitive, and emotional capacities. This poster explores communication opportunities and potential consequences around transhuman technologies for the temporal alterations on the body through speculative designs. These speculations are formed based on four co-speculation workshops with the attendance of participants (N=35) with varying experiences in fiction creation and technology development. By envisioning flexible bodies, transforming into objects, detachable body parts, chameleon skin, and multimodal auras, our work contributes design speculations to spark discussions on the transformative impact of transhuman technologies on communication, prompting innovative investigations into this uncharted territory.

The Wild Probes: Towards a Collection of Hybrid Tools for Situated, Caring, Playful Co-design within the Forest

Abstract

The Wild Probes (WPs) are a set of hybrid tools for designers and researchers to facilitate multi-stakeholder co-design engagements within the forest. They support situated forestry future-making by helping the participants of a co-design process pay attention to, reflect on, ideate around, and document their forestry experiences in ways that can inspire contextually grounded forest-related ideation. Here we present the design and early use of the first iteration of the WPs. The WPs extend existing tools available to designers by adapting their underlying mechanisms to the idiosyncratic character of the forest. We designed them building on recent research on the methodological underpinnings of (co-)designing for and from the forest. The WPs run on affordable, widely accessible electronics and can easily be built with basic DIY skills and equipment. We thus invite others to replicate, enhance, and repurpose them. Overall, here we contribute a first step towards creating a collection of tools to support co-design that is situated in the forest. We hope other designers will find our proposals useful and contribute to growing the collection by creating new WPs of their own.

Designing and Using the Wild Probes Toolkit (v1) to Co-Design From-the-Wild

Abstract

Recent research calls for new design methods and tools that respond to the idiosyncrasies of emergent design spaces. Here we address one of them: the design of nature-related technology. To facilitate increasingly situated practices in this space, we created the Wild Probes: a set of probing tools for displacing co-design into the wilderness. Our toolkit enables forestry future-making by helping forest goers to pay attention to, reflect on, ideate around, and document their forestry experiences. Here we present the design and early use of the toolkit. We hope other designers will find it useful and extend it with new Wild Probes of their own.

Playful Inspiration for a New Wave of Joyful Forest Technology

Abstract

Here we present an exploration into the playful potential of forests and how interactive tech might respond to it. Through first-person, speculative, and situated generative design methods, we engaged with a range of forestry activities to explore their capacity to afford experiences based on joy and care. An analysis of our 16 trips to the forest (and the reflections they motivated) revealed 13 play potentials [6] of human-forest interactions: 13 aspects of forestry experiences that can be intrinsically joyful. We present them clustered as 5 overarching directions that can guide the design of technology that pays more attention to nature's inherent playful character. Our work can inspire a new wave of forest technology that transcends techno-solutionism and privileges alternative values of joy and care.

The WildTech Experience: A Playful Installation for Walking Through the Outcomes of a One-Month Backpacking Study

Abstract

Here we present a playful installation that will allow DIS attendees to (literally) walk through the data produced during a situated design research study where we explored how to design technology for joyful and caring human-nature interactions. Our study unfolded as a one-month backpacking adventure where a researcher engaged 200+ backpackers from 35+ nationalities. While hiking, the researcher co-experienced the nature with other nature-goers, facilitated discussions on the human-nature-technology interplay, and co-imagined how future innovations might make that interplay more joyful and caring. He documented those radically situated engagements in different ways, including quick drawings and short writings, a reflexive notebook, Instagram stories, or photos and videos, among others. Our installation will allow DIS attendees to navigate those data in a way that is both playful, situated, and inspirational – putting themselves into the researcher's boots and getting a more intimate sense of both how the study felt and what it yielded.

Textile-Based Game Controller Platform Through Combination of Bluetooth and Passive UHF RFID

Abstract

This study demonstrates an early prototype of a textile-based game controller platform combining Bluetooth and passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radiofrequency identification (RFID) technologies. The developed system converts RFID input into Bluetooth signals, which can then be used as inputs for any applications. The system employs two serial communication channels: one with the computer and microcontroller and the other with the microcontroller and Bluetooth. When a user taps the textile RFID platform, data is sent from the software to the microcontroller, then from the microcontroller to a mobile phone with a game app prototype. As a preliminary test, the system is successfully controlled using three types of platform antenna designs. In addition to game controlling, these battery-free platforms can be integrated into clothing and furniture for controlling, e.g., smart home applications.

Towards Designing Playful Bodily Extensions: Learning from Expert Interviews

Abstract

Interactive technologies offer novel opportunities for physically extending our bodies, with the most prominent examples being prosthetics along with systems emerging from the wearables community. However, most such systems appear to focus on instrumental benefits, missing out on the opportunity to use bodily extensions for play and its associated benefits (including a lower adoption barrier and the potential to reveal a broader understanding of such technologies). To begin understanding the design of playful bodily extensions, we interviewed five designers of bodily extensions that have been showcased in prestigious academic venues or turned into commercial products. Here we present themes and actionable advice from these interviews for the design of playful bodily extensions through a thematic analysis. Our work aims to support the design of future playful bodily extensions while promoting the experiential qualities of bodily extension design, with the ultimate goal of bringing more playful experiences to people’s lives.

Unsurprisingly, researchers in HCI and beyond seek to augment and extend the relationship people have with nature through technology, to positively enhance their health as a result. In this paper, we report on a scoping review that examines research exploring health, nature, and technology research. By charting 29 papers from the last five years, we produce a situated snapshot of the current research landscape and identify three trends within the paper pool: Despite the potential for rich, experiential engagements, human-nature interaction is often understood as an endeavour that is 1) universal, 2) flattened and 3) disconnected from everyday life. We reflect on our findings to outline design opportunities for human-nature interaction that extend and re-orientate it; to design for multi-dimensional caring experiences that allow for a more-than-just-human understanding of nature.

Virtual and Augmented Reality for Environmental Sustainability: A Systematic Review

Abstract

In recent years, extended reality (XR) technology has seen a rise in use in environmental subjects, i.e., climate change or biodiversity loss, as a potential tool to inform and engage the public with current and future environmental issues. However, research on the potential of XR technology for environmental sustainability is still in the early stages, and there is no clear synthesis of the methods studied in this field. To provide a clearer view of existing approaches and research objectives, we systematically reviewed current literature dealing with XR use in environmental topics. Although the results indicate that the volume of literature exploring XR in environmental applications is increasing, empirical evidence of its impact is limited, hindering the possibility of presently drawing significant conclusions on its potential benefits. Based on our analyses, we identified thematic, theoretical, and methodological knowledge gaps and provide a guideline to aid future research in the field.

Socially Assistive Robots as Decision Makers in the Wild: Insights from a Participatory Design Workshop

Abstract

Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) are becoming very popular every day because of their effectiveness in handling social situations. However, social robots are perceived as intelligent, and thus their decision-making process might have a significant effect on how they are perceived and how effective they are. In this paper, we present the findings from a participatory design study consisting of 5 design workshops with 30 participants, focusing on several decision-making scenarios of SARs in the wild. Through the findings of the PD study, we have discussed 5 directions that could aid the design of decision-making systems of SARs in the wild.

Self-representation does (not) spark joy: Experiment on effects of avatar customisation and personality on emotions in VR

Abstract

There is an increasing relevance of our virtual representations and identities in the contexts of immersive virtual reality (VR) whether it be for leisure, work, or studies. Importantly, various communities are progressive turning to collaboration in virtuality, which has been made approachable and more intuitive through full body tracking and co-presence in virtual environments. Moreover, avatars used to present oneself have been show to have Profound meaning and effects on social experiences, on-screen and in VR alike. However, there is still a paucity of research on Embodied, immersive VR collaborative experiences, and the influence of avatar customization on user experiences in such contexts. This exploratory study employed a repeated-measures between-subjects laboratory experiment design (N = 55) to program the relationships between avatar customization, individual differences, and emotional outcomes. Primarily through Thorough investigation of data using descriptive and visual statistical techniques, the results suggest that allowing for free avatar customization results in an overall more emotionally positive experience than when a default avatar was provided. Additionally, this effect is significantly driven by those higher in Extraversion and Neuroticism. Finally, these findings shed light on the potential implications of individual differences and avatar customization in design and further research of collaborative VR.

Passive RFID-Based Control Interface Integrated Into Clothing and Furniture

Abstract

This paper presents an early prototype of a passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radiofrequency identification (RFID) -based control interface. By using two types of gestures, hand tap and body movement, these tags are used as furniture- and clothing-integrated inputs. An extra tag, called a gesture initiator, is integrated into the system to prevent unintentional tag detection. After initiating the gesture tag, the user has a specific time to activate any input tag; otherwise, no output is triggered, and the user must reactivate the gesture initiator tag. Both gestures work by making a specific input tag non-detectable to an RFID reader. The prototype system was tested in an office environment in two test setups, furniture and clothing setups, where two testers successfully triggered applications—turning a light-emitting diode (LED) on or off, making a phone call, and sending a message—by using the two gestures. Next, extensive system reliability evaluation and improvement was carried out in versatile practical scenarios, where a tag can be accidentally blocked by the user or by someone else who passes by between the tag and the reader. The final results of this study suggest that the use of a gesture initiator tag significantly improves system reliability. This system can be integrated into clothing or furniture to control applications remotely and make a quick call or message without requiring a mobile phone at hand.

Academic Writing with GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT): Reflections on Practices, Efficacy and Transparency

Abstract

The debate around the use of GPT-3.5 has been a popular topic among academics since the release of ChatGPT. Whilst some have argued for the advantages of GPT-3.5 in enhancing academic writing, others have raised concerns such as plagiarism, the spread of false information, and ecological issues. The need for finding ways to use GPT-3.5 models transparently has been voiced, and suggestions have been made on social media as to how to use GPT-3.5 models in a smart way. Nevertheless, to date, there is a lack of literature which clearly outlines how to use GPT-3.5 models in academic writing, how effective they are, and how to use them transparently. To address this, I conducted a personal experience experiment with GPT-3.5, specifically by using text-davinci-003 model of OpenAI, for writing this article. I identified six ways of using GPT-3.5: Chunk Stylist, Bullet-to-Paragraph, Talk Textualizer, Research Buddy, Polisher and Rephraser. I reflected on their efficacy, and commented on their potential impact on writing ethics. Additionally, I provided a comprehensive document which shows the prompts I used, results I got from GPT-3.5, the final edits and visually compares those by showing the differences in percentage.

The effect of audio on the experience in virtual reality: a scoping review

Abstract

The use of virtual reality (VR) has seen significant recent growth and presents opportunities for use in many domain areas. The use of head-mounted displays (HMDs) also presents unique opportunities for the implementation of audio feedback congruent with head and body movements, thus matching intuitive expectations. However, the use of audio in VR is still undervalued and there is a lack of consistency within audio-centedd research in VR. To address this shortcoming and present an overview of this area of research, we conducted a scoping review (n = 121) focusing on the use of audio in HMD-based VR and its effects on user/player experience. Results show a lack of standardisation for common measures such as pleasantness and emphasize the context-specific ability of audio to influence a variety of affective, cognitive, and motivational measures, but are mixed for presence and generally lacking for social experiences and descriptive research.

Tekhla - The production of space in a transurban city

Abstract

What if the material and the social production of space were to coincide? Tekhla is a (fictional) transurban city in which the cognitive augmentations of citizens allow them to continuously reshape the morphology of the urban spaces. This paper builds on the ideas of Lefebvre (concerning the production of space) and Lotman (the isomorphism between urban organization and semiosphere) to explore how a transurban future might affect the relationship between citizens and technoscience in the urban environment. To do so, we created Tekhla a pastiche scenario envisioning the possible futures (a utopian and a dystopian one) of bottom-up 3D printed cities.Using this scenario as a starting point, we then outlined some principles for design and planning ever-changing self-fabricating cities, and, in the conclusions, some implications for the present.

Psychedelic VR Experience: An Exploratory Study on Cosmic Flow

Abstract

Virtual environments are emerging as a tool for providing psychede-lic experiences due to the increasing interest in altered states of consciousness (ASCs) and the spread of VR headsets. However, the user experience of commercial psychedelic VR applications has not yet been adequately explored in HCI. To fill this gap, we conducted a user experience study of Cosmic Flow, one of the psychedelic VR available on Steam. In this exploratory study, six participants experienced Cosmic Flow and got interviewed. Analysis of user interviews revealed three main themes that articulate different aspects of the experience: moderate interaction, reflections on personal experience, and VR ergonomics. In the discussion, we derive seven design considerations to guide the development of psychedelic VR: non-active engagement, positive indolence and idleness, non-invasive multi-sensory modalities, creative and introspective activities, effects of priming, virtual nature, and comfortableness. The study contributes to design researchers and practitioners working on related experiences.

A Hybrid Board Game by Using Daily Activity Data of Users as Game Mechanics

Abstract

Motivating people for activities that will benefit their physical and mental health through games and gamification has been popular, and prevalent especially throughout the pandemic. While many studies produce tailored gameful apps for this purpose, studies that investigate if the existing games can be used for such purposes by modifying their game mechanics are scarce. Thus, in this research, we customized an existing board game by using the game mechanics to facilitate better habits for physical activity, sleep time and social interaction. We added mechanics granting players permanent skills, bonus moves and in-game currency based on their daily activities with a research through design process which went through paper mockups, game design, development of a web-based platform and iterative user tests. Our preliminary findings show that the social component of hybrid board games can help motivate players to adopt a healthier lifestyle by creating an environment to discuss health issues with others.

Exploring the Player Experiences of Wearable Gaming Interfaces: A User Elicitation Study

Abstract

The design and development of playful wearable devices is a challenging and complicated problem. It entails not only multidisciplinary expertise but also a comprehensive understanding of player experience. There is a scarcity of evidence-based studies in current state-of-art literature that investigate general design practices and provide pragmatic design implications and suggestions based on solid user-centered research. To bridge the gap, we developed five experience prototypes based on the speculative design concepts from previous studies, and a Wizard of Oz experiment was conducted to elicit end users' feedback regarding general gaming experience as well as specific design themes in different gaming scenarios. The user experiment results were analyzed qualitatively following a rigorous thematic analysis, generating five major design implications as output. We believe this study will offer forward-looking insights to designers, developers and the research community, facilitating future work in this field.

Altered States of Consciousness in Human-Computer Interaction: A Review

Abstract

There has been increasing interest shown in experiences such as lucid dreams, hallucinations, or awe that arise in HCI. Altered States of Consciousness (ASC) is the umbrella term for these experiences, yet it has been subject to fragmented study, and design knowledge to help individuals working on technology-driven ASCs is lacking. This paper investigates HCI studies involving ASC artefacts through a scoping review. The findings relate to (1) ASC induction methods, (2) ASC experiences through artefacts, (3) ASC artefacts, and (4) the technology of ASC artefacts. The returned literature shows that HCI studies have mainly explored psychologically induced ASCs, and XR technologies and embodied interaction are widely used in ASC research. Meanwhile, physical artefact design including active body movements and the integration of games and play approaches featured as prospective directions. These results will contribute to the knowledge of those studying and designing ASC artefacts.

Exploring the Application of RFID for Designing Augmented Virtual Reality Experience

Abstract

Recent technical advancement has driven the boundary between the physical reality and digital virtuality to diminish significantly. As part of the emerging trend, existing research leverages a synergized use of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) and virtual reality (VR) to create compelling hybrid user experience. However, current state-of-the-art literature indicates a lack of coherent architecture for seamlessly integrating these two siloed technology stacks, thus hindering full-fledged mixed and extended reality applications. In this article, we first conducted a comprehensive literature review and identified key design themes and different technical affordances of RFID within VR context; in reflection of our findings, we hence proposed an overarching architecture to facilitate swift and flexible composition of RFID and VR; Three use cases were further established using the proposed architecture to both demonstrate its technical feasibility and qualitatively assess RFID’s augmentation over conventional VR applications. This exploratory research intends to offer some preliminary design knowledge and insights for designing and developing RFID-augmented VR applications, open up opportunities for further discussion and research interest in this area, thus ultimately contributing to more immersive, interactive and informative user experience.

Design and Evaluation of Passive RFID-Based Music Player Textile Prototypes

Abstract

Music has always been an important way of expressing ourselves. Creating music from bodily interaction has gained much attention: Various gestures, touches, hand and foot movements are used to make music. The traditional identification and sensing technology—passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) technology—can be turned into a battery-free music player for creating music with a simple touch or gesture. Firstly, the technical feasibility of the created RFID system was evaluated by a simple on/off test. Next, this paper introduces two music player textile prototypes: The Touch Prototype can be activated by touching, while the Block Prototype can be activated by blocking, unblocking, or hovering over a specific spot on the created music player textile. Finally, the study gears towards the evaluation of the system in-use. Both developed prototypes showed a high input detection rate (95–100%) based on preliminary testing. The Block Prototype was found to be more flexible for the user, as the user does not need to be as precise in the movement as in the Touch Prototype. However, as the Touch Prototype allows separating the RFID IC and the antenna, it provides flexibility for the placement of the music player textile, for example when used as part of clothing.

Passive RFID-Based Phone Call System Integrated into Clothing and Furniture

Abstract

This paper presents design, development, and an early prototype system of a passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology-based phone call system. These tags are used as clothing- and furniture-integrated phone call triggers by utilizing two gestures; tap and double tap. Both gestures work on the principle that a specific tag is made non-detectable for the RFID reader. In preliminary testing, the prototype system was tested in an office environment in two different test setups: one with an RFID tag attached to a table and the other with an RFID tag attached to a shirtsleeve. One user successfully made a phone call 5 times in both test setups by using tap and double tap gestures. The advantage of the prototype system is that it can be integrated into clothing or furniture to make a quick call without a mobile phone. As the used technology is cost-effective and maintenance-free, there can be several RFID tags in the surroundings and in different clothes.

Toolkits & Wearables: Developing Toolkits for Exploring Wearable Designs

Abstract

Designing wearables is a complex task that includes many layers, such as wearability, interactivity, functionality, social and cultural considerations. For decades now, prototyping toolkits are proposed to aid diverse types of audiences in exploring the design of smart accessories and garments. However, the task of designing toolkits for wearables has not received a comprehensive discussion and systematic reflection. In this workshop, we look into challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned in using, developing and evaluating wearable toolkits by focusing on their target groups, purposes, effects on the final designs. By bringing together researchers and practitioners who are experienced with the design, use and assessment of wearable toolkits, we see a particular opportunity in providing a broader perspective on defining the future of wearable toolkit designs.

From-The-Wild: Towards Co-Designing For and From Nature

Abstract

Here we present in-progress methodological research exploring how to co-design technology for nature-related experiences. To support increasingly situated and participatory practices in this space, we propose a turn towards co-designing from-the-wild, i.e. ideating during raw engagements that are radically situated in nature. Our approach extends existing in-the-wild practices by (1) enacting co-design in natural (rather than human-made) environments, and (2) avoiding techniques that privilege the designer's agenda over other stakeholders’ and compromise the situated nature of ideation. Our contribution includes: (1) the proposal of co-designing from-the-wild as a response to the limitations of existing in-the-wild methods when designing for and from nature; and (2) early reflections from our hands-on engagement with said approach, which begin to surface exciting opportunities and constraints emerging in this methodological space. By sharing our work-in-progress with the HCI community, we hope to spark a conversation stimulating future co-design methods research in increasingly wilder directions.

Robots as Human Companions: A Review

Abstract

The field of robotics has grown exponentially over the years, especially the social aspect has been given a lot of attention. Although there is a significant amount of research on robots being used as social human companions, there is a lack of a comprehensive study. The lack of knowledge includes the types of robots used, their features, interaction modalities and deployment scenarios. To address this knowledge gap, we have conducted a systematic literature review of 98 relevant articles. The findings suggest that anthropomorphic and zoomorphic robots are more popular as human companions while there is a lack of interest in functional and caricatured robots. Also, human-like and animal-like features are implemented more in them. A lack of utilizing the mobility of robots can be seen in the research and thus outdoor implementation of companion robots is seen very rarely. Moreover, the understanding of Human-Robot Companionship needs a clearer definition.

Immersive Video Sketching: Low-Fidelity Extended Reality Prototyping for Everyone

Abstract

As the extended reality (XR) field advance, the need for tools assisting designers in the early-design phases for these immersive environments also increases. Although several tools exist, we still need a method that allows non-experts to engage in designing for XR, especially for collaborative contexts such as participatory design (PD) workshops. In this paper, we introduce Immersive Video Sketching (IVS), a low-cost prototyping method for early-phase XR design that can be easily employed by novice and non-expert designers. IVS combines body storming, paper prototyping and video sketching for XR environments. We tested IVS with 23 participants in a PD session focusing on XR game wearables. Our results showed that IVS can help non-experts to grasp the immersive nature of XR environments easily. On the other hand, a 4-hour design session might not be enough for iterations on design ideas and different design skills might create discrepancies in the outcomes.

Towards the Next Generation of Gaming Wearables

Abstract

Recent studies on gaming wearables show that wearables can contribute to the gaming experience by bolstering performativity, facilitating social interaction, and accommodating distinct interaction modalities. Still, these studies focused on contexts such as role-playing, casual, or festival games. Stakeholder-oriented research that explores the integration of wearables for mainstream gaming platforms such as game consoles is scarce. To fill this gap, we have conducted an exploratory study through 6 participatory design workshops focusing on different aspects of wearables with 33 participants from different stakeholders. As a result, we have created fifteen design themes and three gaming wearable concepts that led to seven actionable design implications which can be adopted by designers and researchers for designing gaming wearables.

Snowflakes: A Prototyping Tool for Computational Jewelry

Abstract

Smart-jewelry design has many layers such as comfort, ergonomics, fashionability, interactivity and functionality that create a complex design process, making the form exploration challenging. Various wearable prototyping tools were developed to overcome this challenge; however, they are usually textile-based and do not target smart jewelry design. To bridge this gap, we developed Snowflakes that differentiates from existing tools by 1) allowing designers to explore different jewelry forms, 2) incorporating external materials such as leather, 3) creating form factors that fit body parts with flexible connectors. In this paper, we explain the design process of Snowflakes which is inspired by 7 design parameters (limbs, materials, grip, fastener, decoration, placement, form) extracted through the examination of non-smart jewelry. We also demonstrate three reimplementations and design concepts implemented with Snowflakes. Our exploration with Snowflakes contributes to the wearable community in terms of smart-jewelry visual expressions, interaction modalities, and merger of traditional and computational materials.

Designing Gaming Wearables: From Participatory Design to Concept Creation

Abstract

In this pictorial, we depict our design process on gaming wearables starting from participatory design workshops to concept creation. Wearables possess strong qualities for gaming such as performativity, sociality and interactivity. However, it is an emergent field and there is a dearth of design knowledge especially when it comes to designing wearables for mainstream gaming platforms such as game consoles. Our aim is to explore this field elaborately with a research through design approach and also clearly exemplify how our design process progressed through different phases. Our results, apart from helping wearables designers to understand critical features for mainstream gaming, will also demonstrate the techniques and methods for extracting knowledge from PD workshops and incorporating it in a conceptual design phase.

Towards the Next Generation of Extended Reality Wearables

Abstract

Extended reality (XR) systems are among the most prominent interactive environments of today’s entertainment. These systems are often complemented by supportive wearables such as haptic gloves or full–body suits. However, applications are usually limited to tactile feedback and gestural controls while other strong parts of wearables such as the performative, social and interactive features are neglected. To investigate the ways of designing wearables for playful XR environments by drawing upon these strong parts, we conducted five participatory design workshops with 25 participants. Our study resulted in 14 design concepts that were synthesized into three design themes that include 9 sub-themes, namely Virtual Costumes, Modification of Bodily Perception and Social Bioadaptivity. The knowledge created extends the design space of XR wearables and opens new paths for designers and researchers to explore.

Exploring Food Based Interactive, Multi-Sensory, and Tangible Storytelling Experiences

Abstract

Much work has been done on the design of both interactive narratives and food-based interaction systems, however their intersection has received little attention within the design research community. We took the relative dearth of food-based interactive storytelling systems as an opportunity to explore a compelling design space for multisensory interactive narratives, given these few systems often position people only as passive observers. We report the results of a design workshop conducted among the authors who are design researchers in interactive narratives and food-based play. In the workshop, we discussed existing works, asynchronously brainstormed new food-based interactive storytelling systems, and then reconvened to discuss our ideas. We present the portfolio of designs that arose from this workshop, and the design themes that we synthesized from the portfolio. We recommend how to position people not just as observers, but as active participants in the interactive food-based storytelling system.

Anagenesis: A framework for a gameful, playful and democratic future smart cities

Abstract

This chapter aims to go beyond extant gameful and playful approaches of urban management and governance by identifying the benefits and detriments in current approaches as well as elevating those benefits into a combined juxtaposed future vision of a playfully co-created city; Anagenesis. We ground our framework in the foundation laid out by three separate gameful phenomena: gamified e-participation, urban play initiatives (such as parkour or DIY urbanism) and games based on augmented cities technologies. We argue that while these separate phenomena all have their benefits and detriments, in democratic, playful and technologically enhanced activities organization, in meaningful combination, they provide an efficient and ethical way of engaging citizens in decisions regarding city making and urban design.

Technology-related challenges in smart clothing-viewpoints from ideation workshops

Abstract

Smart clothing is a booming, growing technology and business branch of wearables. Its users range from sports and entertainment customers to military, and new applications can be found, especially in the care sector, for example, in Gamification for health and well-being. We organized 5 idea workshops to gather ideas about the potential users and uses of smart clothing. The participants brought up several types of technology-related challenges during the workshops. This article introduces these challenges. The results were analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis. Based on the gathered data, the main challenge groups were found to be ethical concerns, operating features and the technology's reliability, and, for example, the Lack of a need-based and user-oriented design process.

Nature-inspired Electro-textile Antennas for Passive UHF RFID

Abstract

Antennas are usually hidden from sight. However, it is possible to design antennas that look visually appealing and socially accepted, while also have the same wireless performance as traditional antenna designs. Literature shows versatile nature-inspired antennas that have leaves and plants as design models. Most of such antennas are used in wideband, broadband, ultra-wideband, wireless local area networks, as well as 4G and 5G networks. The existing implementations do not employ ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID), which, however, is a versatile technology that has taken a growing role for example in the areas of the Internet of Things, wearables, and e-health. Passive UHF RFID-based communication is challenging due to noisy and unstable signals, which sets high requirements on antenna designs. This paper aims to design and fabricate (from electro-textiles) nature-inspired passive UHF RFID tag antennas and evaluate their wireless performance. Each antenna is made in two sizes, a small and a big version. In wireless evaluation, all the nature-inspired antennas show read ranges and radiation patterns suitable for practical use, while the bigger size antennas perform better than the smaller counterparts in terms of read range. In addition to their traditional wireless functionality, these antennas can also have an ornamental function in clothing and can be designed in such a way that enhances the aesthetics and fashionability of wearables or smart clothing.

Integrating DGNSS/RTK Positioning with IoT and Smart City Applications

Abstract

Real-time high-precision positioning will generate new added values and potentials for many IoT and smart city applications. The emerging Real-time Kinematic (RTK) technology has greatly enhanced the precision of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based positioning, however, it remains a siloed, highly specialized technology that lacks coherent development architecture compatible with current IoT technology stack. This study aims to use commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) equipment and general Web technology stack for integrating RTK positioning into general-purpose, value-added IoT/smart city services. Our preliminary evaluation has showed positive results over multiple indices, including positioning precision, portability and overall cost-performance balance.

Passive RFID-based music player textile

Abstract

Music has always been an important way of expressing ourselves. Creating music from bodily interaction has gained lots of attention: Various gestures, body touch, movements of hand and foot are used as inputs for creating music. The traditional identification and sensing technology, passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, can also be turned into a music player textile for creating music with simple touch or gesture on clothing. When the player touches a specific integrated circuit (IC) copper pad with finger, the unique ID is read by the reader and translated to music via our music software. With this preliminary version of the music player textile, it is possible to play drum and piano. In the future, the technology can be applied to daily clothing for educational musical purposes such as teaching music to kids, as well as professional musical purposes such as performers (showmen and hosts) and lecturers to have playful performances.

Asiantuntijanäkemyksiä älyvaatteesta puhetta tukevan ja korvaavan viestinnän apuvälineenä

Abstract

Puheen ja kommunikoinnin haasteet koskettavat laajaa joukkoa eri ikäisiä ihmisiä. Puhetta tukevien ja korvaavien kommunikointikeinojen, eli AAC-keinojen (engl. Augmentative and Alternative Communication), tarkoituksena on mahdollistaa itseilmaisu, kommunikointi ja osallistuminen. Nykyisten AAC-keinojen käyttöön liittyy monenlaisia käytännön haasteita. Näihin haasteisiin voisi vastata vaatteisiin integroitava huomaamaton käyttöliittymä, jossa vaate tunnistaa kehon liikkeitä ja erilaisia kosketuksia vaatteen pinnalla. Tässä tutkimuksessa ideoitiin viidessä monialaisessa työpajassa vastauksia laaja-alaisiin kysymyksiin: ”Ketkä voisivat hyötyä älyvaatteesta?”, “Mihin älyvaatetta voisi käyttää” ja “Miten älyvaatetta voisi käyttää?”. Tässä artikkelissa julkaisemme ne työpajoissa luodut ideat, jotka liittyvät itseilmaisun, kommunikoinnin ja osallistumisen mahdollistamiseen. Tässä tutkimuksessa AAC-keinojen käyttäjäryhminä esiin nousivat henkilöt, joilla on liikuntavamma, kuulo-tai kuulonäkövamma, kehitysvamma tai autismikirjon häiriö sekä lapset, joilla on kehityksellinen kielihäiriö. Älyvaatteen käyttötarkoituksista nousi esiin kolme selkeää teemaa, jotka olivat avun pyytäminen, kommunikoinnin tukeminen sekä vuorovaikutuksen ja osallistumisen mahdollistaminen. Vaatteeseen integroitua AAC-keinoa voi käyttää esimerkiksi painamalla, pyyhkäisemällä, sivelemällä, taputtamalla tai näpäyttämällä vaatteen pintaa jollakin kehon osalla.

Isaura: El Futuro Tecnopagano de la ciudad entre Transurbanismo y Trascendencia

Abstract

La espiritualidad siempre ha jugado un papel importante en las ciudades, afectando profundamente todos los aspectos de la vida urbana. Pero ¿y el futuro? ¿Acaso el desarrollo de la tecnología disminuirá la importancia de la espiritualidad? O, por el contrario, ¿será acaso los post y transhumanistas seres profundamente espirituales? En este artículo utilizamos un diseño especulativo y escenarios pastiche para investigar el papel de la espiritualidad en un futuro transurbano. En particular, imaginamos Isaura, una ciudad imbuida de aumentos transhumanos e ideales tecnopaganos, donde las personas pueden habitar el cuerpo de los animales. El escenario nos permite reflexionar sobre la posibilidad de un futuro animista basado en tecnologías de avatarización, visto en el marco de la ecología de relaciones de Descola.

"Switch" up your exercise: An empirical analysis of online user discussion of the Ring Fit Adventure exergame

Abstract

Exercise games (exergames) gamify the activity of exercising and are a growing trend with a corresponding growing online community and culture. The hugely popular recent Ring Fit Adventure exemplifies this and enables study of player's perceptions of the game and themselves in relation to exergaming and its community. We focus on a subreddit/r/RingFitAdventure. Topics ranging from social influences to design features are discovered. The implications of those topics to a variety of gamification notions are analyzed and discussed. The findings can facilitate and inspire future gamification design and research.

Etsijä's Call: Gamifying virtual conferences with alternate reality games

Abstract

Gamification has spread into almost all scientific fields as a way to achieve beneficial outcomes such as productivity, engagement, learning and health. However, gamification has been less applied into enhancing scientific process and science communication themselves. As a case in point, in this paper we demonstrate how an international gamification conference was gamified through Etsija's Call, a mysterious Alternate Reality Conference Game, to enhance conference engagement, create a positive mood for livelier communication and networking as well as to build a communal spirit among participants. The international GamiFIN conference 2020 was held online due to COVID-19. Therefore, the present paper also contributes to the growing literature on remote work and online research and dissemination practices. In this research effort, we employ both design science and mixed-method empirical work (N=47). First, we outline the process and materials involved in the ideation, design and implementation of the game, secondly, we outline the thematic analysis (n=17) of materials gathered throughout the conference from interaction with the game, and thirdly, we report preliminary results of the adapted Gameful Experience Questionnaire (GAMEFULQUEST) based on the participants' experience (n=6) and the game's probable influence on the conference experience (n=13). Our preliminary analyses show that conference participants had a meaningful interaction with the game which further enabled them to engage with several conference facets, situations and participants as indicated by the qualitative analysis of participants' interactions with the game. Moreover, the preliminary quantitative analyses based on the responses on the GAMEFULQUEST indicate that respondents had had a positive gameful experience as a consequence of interacting with Etsija's Call While the present study was preliminary and a first pilot of the conference game, future research on Etsija's Call and other similar implementations should attempt to increase the volume of the investigation in terms of participants.

Transhuman Faces in the Transurban City: Facial Recognition, Identity, Resistance

Abstract

Images of Hong Kong protestors tearing down facial recognition towers to avoid being identified by the authorities started circulating online in September 2019, quickly becoming a symbol of the technological dimension of contemporary struggles against power. While, on the one hand, devices aiming at dissimulating faces from facial recognition systems are multiplying, on the other the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed surgical masks into some mainstream garment. Within the framework of transurbanism, the present paper aims at exploring the complex relations between faces, technology, and urban spaces with transhuman technologies and smart cities. Such relations highlight several key junctions: issues of identity and self-expression, problems of surveillance and strategies of resistance, semiospheric changes, and new frontiers for the writing and creation of the face.

Enhance User Engagement using Gamified Internet of Things

Abstract

Gamification is considered as a promising approach to enhance people’s engagement in many social or technical systems, thus is supposed to play an important role in future Internet of Everything (IoE). Although gamification elements have already been reported in various IoT research, there still lacks answers about how gamification may affect user engagement in IoT systems and through what paths. In present work, we are synthesizing and analyzing existing research efforts in these emerging fields to provide implications for future IoE development. The results are categorized into three dimensions by considering cognitive-behavioral outcome, procedural stage and population scale.

How wearables could lead the way for more immersive Virtual Reality experiences

Abstract

In movies using computer-generated imagery, actors perform in front of a green screen and wear so-called mocap (motion capture) suits recording their every move. The WEARTUAL project wants to take a similar direction to more immersive Virtual Reality, in which wearable devices could be used to track full body movements, turn bodies into interfaces, or even generate semi-virtual clothes.

Transurbanism: Smart Cities for Transhumans

Abstract

The current trends related to 'smart cities' are bringing the cityscapes of movies such as Blade Runner and Cyberpunk 2077 closer to our immediate reality. The question of what will the cities of the future look like is at the heart of urban studies. In parallel, a similar question is posed by (trans)humanists about the future of humanity and its possible technological enhancements. However, (trans)humanity and future cities are defined in a bi-directional dependency. Therefore, we have to answer the questions of future humans and cities simultaneously. This paper maps several ways of interacting between transhuman communities and smart cities to understand their possible effects on governing, design and society at large resulting in a framework that will work as a cautionary tale and an inspirational blueprint for imagining future urbanity.

Children in 2077: Designing Children's Technologies in the Age of Transhumanism

Abstract

What for and how will we design children's technologies in the transhumanism age, and what stance will we take as designers? This paper aims to answer this question with 13 fictional abstracts from sixteen authors of different countries, institutions and disciplines. Transhumanist thinking envisions enhancing human body and mind by blending human biology with technological augmentations. Fundamentally, it seeks to improve the human species, yet the impacts of such movement are unknown and the implications on children's lives and technologies were not explored deeply. In an age, where technologies such as under-skin chips or brain-machine interfaces can clearly be defined as transhumanist, our aim is to reveal probable pitfalls and benefits of those technologies on children's lives by using the power of design fiction. Thus, main contribution of this paper is to create diverse presentation of provocative research ideas that will foster the discussion on the transhumanist technologies impacting the lives of children in the future.

MESMER: Towards a Playful Tangible Tool for Non-Verbal Multi-Stakeholder Conversations

Abstract

In this paper we present MESMER, a work-in-progress tangible conversation tool for playful design. Our work extends the Otherworld Framework (OF) [7] for tangible tools by centering specifically on play as a conversation topic. Here we unpack how early experiments with OF motivated our work and describe the current iteration of the MESMER tool, which comprises persona cards, various boards, and a shared physical token. MESMER is inspired by our findings from early trials with OF: performative playful interaction promoted playful and divergent thinking; embodied non-verbal communication led to shared insights, the board's contents and structure helped scaffold conversations, a diversity of personas and narratives seemed desirable, and role-playing personas encouraged multi-stakeholder empathy. Our ongoing research aims to help designers and researchers to facilitate engaging, fruitful and inspiring conversations where diverse stakeholders can contribute to playful technology design.

ClothFace: Battery-Free User Interface Solution Embedded into Clothing and Everyday Surroundings

Abstract

This paper introduces ClothFace, a passive ultrahigh frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) -based user interface solution, which can be embedded into clothing and into our everyday surroundings. The user interface platform consists of RFID tags, each of which has a unique ID. All the tags are initially readable to an external RFID reader. A specific tag can be switched off by covering it with a hand, which change can then be used as a digital input to any connected device. Because of the used passive UHF RFID technology, there is no need for embedded energy sources, but the interface platform gets all the needed energy from the external RFID reader. In this study, two test setups were created to an office environment: For the Body Test, the interface was integrated into a cotton shirt and into an item. For the Table Test, the interface was integrated into a wooden table. A gamelike testing software was created for both setups and two male test subjects tested the platform. The achieved results were very promising: success rates of 99-100 % and 94-98 % were reached in the Body Test and in the Table Test, respectively. Based on these promising preliminary results, we can envision the employment of ClothFace for developing multi-modal interfaces that can provide on-body gestural controls in body-based serious game applications.

Virtual Wearables: Envisioning Future Scenarios for Wearables in Extended Reality Environments

Abstract

Extended reality systems are among the most prominent environments of today’s entertainment. They are wearable systems and there are many other supportive wearables that are designed to go together with XR devices such as haptic gloves or full–body suits. However, applications are usually limited to tactile feedback and the collection of the body data and other strong parts of wearables are neglected. These strong parts, according to previous studies, are the performative, social and interactive features of wearables. In this chapter, we will introduce those in detail and envision future uses for XR wearables drawing on this knowledge

Clothface: a passive RFID-based human-technology interface on a shirtsleeve

Abstract

This paper introduces ClothFace, a shirtsleeve-integrated human-technology interface platform, which comprises two wrist antenna and three radio frequency identification (RFID) integrated circuits (ICs) each with a unique ID. The platform prototype, which is created on a shirtsleeve by cutting the antenna and antenna-IC interventions from copper tape, can be used for push button and swipe controlling. Each IC can be activated, i.e., electrically connected to the two antennas, by touching the IC. These ICs can act as wireless input buttons to the technology around us. Due to the used passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID technology, there is no need for clothing-integrated energy sources, but the interface platform gets all the needed energy from an external RFID Reader. The platform prototype was found to be readable with an external RFID Reader from all directions at distances of 70-80 cm. Further, seven people giving Altogether 1400 inputs tested the prototype sleeves on a table and on body. In these first tests, 96-100% (table) and 92-100% (on-body) success rates were achieved in a gamelike testing setup. Further, the platform was produced to be readable with an off-the-shelf handheld RFID Reader from a distance of 40 cm. Based on these initial results, this implementation holds the potential to be used as a touch interface Blended into daily clothing, as well as a modular touch-based interaction platform that can be integrated into the surfaces of electronic devices, such as home appliances.).

Exploring Wearable Output Modalities - Screens & Beyond

Abstract

For decades, wearable research has explored different output modalities (e.g. screens, lights, scents, thermal, vibrotactile, shape change) implemented in wearable form factors. With these output modalities, prior research addresses a wide range of issues from information representation to self-expression and social cohesion. However, the close proximity of wearables to our bodies makes their design a complex task that requires attention to functional, social, and cultural aspects. Wearables are not just practical artifacts (e.g. conveying concise information for the user or the observer) but have a potential effect on our appearance and social interactions. In this workshop, we look into informative aspects and social challenges around designing different output modalities on bodies. By bringing together researchers and practitioners, we see particular potential in providing a broader perspective on the practical and social aspects of designing wearable output modalities.

A Design Framework for Playful Wearables

Abstract

Deployment of wearables for games has attracted the interest of designers and researchers both in academia and industry. However, few of these projects treat wearables as an integral part of the gameplay, often considering them as an extension of the central on-screen experience. While preliminary forays into wearable play show promise, we see a need for a rigorous design framework to illuminate the possibilities for the future of wearables for playful interaction design. In this paper we propose a Design Framework for Playful Wearables stemming from our extensive research and hands-on experience in leading four long-term game research projects incorporating wearables. We divide our framework into three high-level categories: the performative, the social and the interactive. We contend that this design space can be both a design tool for creators of wearable playful activities, as well as an analytical lens for evaluating existing wearable systems.

Otherworld: Ouija Board as a Resource for Design

Abstract

The Ouija board is a device to contact spirits from the so-called otherworld. Although it is considered paranormal activity, the way it works rests on ideomotor actions and we argue that the Ouija is a resource for design for the following aspects: It is a 1) collective tangible exploration tool operated by two or more people through a physical pointer that moves, seemingly on its own, around the letters to probe meanings by composing messages. It has been used by artists as a medium offering 2) creative stimulation to generate material and develop ideas for their work. The Ouija also enables people to express nonconscious knowledge, as research suggests, and thus can provide 3) access to tacit dimension. In this paper, we present the Otherworld Framework that describes its principal elements and provide speculations on how to exploit them in design for collaborative, engaging and unconventional group interactions.

Passive UHF RFID-based user interface on a wooden surface

Abstract

We present a passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID)-based human-technology interface platform. The platform comprises of two dipole antennas and three integrated circuits (IC), each with a unique ID. The platform, which is fixed on a wooden table by cutting the antennas and antenna-IC interconnections from copper tape, can be used for push button and swipe controlling. Each IC can be activated, i.e., connected to the antennas, by touching with finger. As the RFID reader can be connected to any application through WIFI, these ICs can act as wireless input points integrated into furniture, items, and textiles, where they can be used as inputs to desired digital actions. The platform allows all connected devices to be controlled accurately and effortlessly, which will take the convenience of implementation and utilization of these systems to a new level. As a preliminary trial, the platform was tested by two people giving 200 random inputs and 98% and 99% success rates were achieved. Based on these results, this type of passive RFID-based solutions could be used for administrating interfaces that would administer wide variety of interaction modalities, such as touch or tangible interaction on flat surfaces (e.g., tabletop surfaces, walls, doors).

Snowflakes: A Design Speculation for a Modular Prototyping Tool for Rapidly Designing Smart Wearables

Abstract

Aesthetics qualities are critical aspects for smart jewelry as they are worn and considered as expressive artefacts. However, current tools for prototyping smart jewelry do not put aesthetic considerations as a primary concern. Therefore, we created Snowflakes, a design speculation for a modular, "snap-on-off", prototyping tool for designing smart jewelry. The design requirements of Snowflakes were determined after studying non-smart jewelry and extracting 7 parameters for them (limb, material, grip, fastener type, decoration, decoration placement and form). Drawing upon these parameters, Snowflakes were proposed as a tool that would allow prototyping smart jewelry by synthesizing conventional jewelry's form language with smart jewelry which is adorned with technology. This paper explores using this product as a design tool to experiment on designs blending aesthetics and function.

Extracting Design Guidelines for Wearables and Movement in Tabletop Role-Playing Games via a Research Through Design Process

Abstract

We believe that wearables and movement are perfect fit for enhancing tabletop role-playing (TTRPG) experience, since they can provide embodied interaction, are perceived as character-costumes, enhance ludic properties and increase the connectedness to the imaginary game worlds. By providing these improvements, they can increase the immersiveness and player/character relationship which are critical for an ideal TTRPG experience. To investigate this underexplored area, we conducted an extensive research through design process which includes a (1) participatory design workshop with 25 participants, (2) preliminary user tests with Wizard-of-Oz and experience prototypes with 15 participants, (3) production of a new game system, wearable and tangible artifacts and (4) summative user tests for understanding the effects on experience with 16 participants. As a result of our study, we extracted design guidelines about how to integrate wearables and movement in narrative-based tabletop games and communicate how the results of each phase affected our artifacts.

Investigating the Effects of Legacy Bias: User Elicited Gestures from the End Users Perspective

Abstract

User elicitation studies are commonly used for designing gestures by putting the users in the designers' seat. One of the most encountered phenomenon during these studies is legacy bias. It refers to users' tendency to transfer gestures from the existing technologies to their designs. The literature presents varying views on the topic; some studies asserted that legacy bias should be diminished, whereas other stated that it should be preserved. Yet, to the best of our knowledge, none of the elicitation studies tested their designs with the end users. In our study, 36 participants compared two gesture sets with and without legacy. Initial findings showed that legacy gesture set had higher scores. However, the interviews uncovered that some non-legacy gestures were also favored due to their practicality and affordances. We contribute to the legacy bias literature by providing new insights from the end users' perspective.

Code Notes: Designing a Low-Cost Tangible Coding Tool for/with Children

Abstract

Programming has become an essential subject for today's education curriculum and as a result, the importance of creating the right environments to teach is increasing. For such environments, featuring tangible tools enhances creativity and collaboration. However, due to their high prices, current tangible tools are not reachable by most of the students. We developed Code Notes as a low-cost, attainable and tangible tool aimed to motivate children to support programming education. Code Notes is comprised of an Android app and code-cardboards to teach the basic concepts in programming. We continue to develop the platform with insights gained from children. This paper shares the design phases of Code Notes and observations from our two-month programming project. We also presented some future concepts of Code Notes that offer an active and embodied interaction with the teaching material.

The Effectiveness of Mime-Based Creative Drama Education for Exploring Gesture-Based User Interfaces

Abstract

User interfaces that utilise human gestures as input are becoming increasingly prevalent in diverse computing applications. However, few designers possess the deep insight, awareness and experience regarding the nature and usage of gestures in user interfaces to the extent that they are able to exploit the technological affordances and innovate over them. We argue that design students, who will be expected to envision and create such interactions in the future, are constrained as such by their habits that pertain to conventional user interfaces. Design students should gain an understanding of the nature of human gestures and how to use them to add value to UI designs. To this end, we formulated an ‘awareness course’ for design students based on concepts derived from mime art and creative drama. We developed the course iteratively through the involvement of three groups of students. The final version of the course was evaluated by incorporating the perspectives of design educators, an industry expert and the students. We present the details of the course, describe the development process, and discuss the insights revealed by the evaluations.

Exploring Computational Materials as Fashion Materials: Recommendations for Designing Fashionable Wearables

Abstract

Fashion is becoming an inevitable part of the wearable devices. Yet, it is not clear how the cross-pollination between computational and fashion materials might suggest directions for wearables. We believe exploring this territory is important for providing actionable directions to the designers and engineers. Therefore, we followed a two-pillared research through design method: (1) a design workshop with 14 fashion design and 6 engineering students where they created 7 artifacts by exploring computational and fashion materials and (2) semi-structured interviews with 10 wearable design experts from different countries, in which discussed our analysis on the workshop outcomes. After we refined our findings with the feedbacks of the experts we came up with 5 design recommendations for designers along with the strategies that they can follow for applying them. This kind of recommendations, achieved through an examinations that bridges fashion design and computational materials by also considering expert opinions, was not implemented before. In this respect, our recommendations are shaped up as follows: (1) Giving information through fabric augmentation, (2) defining bi-directional interaction between the contexts and garments, (3) controlling the form of the garments, (4) treating surfaces, and (5) supporting the three dimensional shape of the garment with computational materials.

WEARPG: Movement-Based Tabletop Role-Playing Game with Arm-Worn Devices and an Augmented Die

Abstract

Augmenting tabletop role-playing games (TTRPG) with computers took much attention of researchers recently. Nevertheless, these efforts mostly remained as functional augmentations. We believe that integrating new gameplay styles to this genre is still an underexplored area. Drawing upon the previous studies, we believe that wearables which support movement-based gameplay can be a good step taken in this direction as previous studies claim that wearables can strengthen the link to the imaginary worlds which is critical for TTRPG experience while the movement-based play can increase the player engagement. However, previous studies did not investigate these concepts with an implemented technology. Therefore, to get a better understanding of how wearables can alter the TTRPG experience, we designed a new RPG game system and developed the Elemental Gauntlet and the Luck Stone which enable movement-based game play in TTRPG context. Our preliminary results showed that, movement-based play and wearable props strengthen the identification feeling with the fictional character and resulted in a better immersion to the imaginary world of the game.

Augmented Table-Top Role-Playing Game with Movement-Based Gameplay and Arm-Worn Devices

Abstract

Augmenting table-top role-playing games (TTRPG) is a trending subject in game research. Different objects and interaction modalities such as surface displays, tangible devices or interactive rooms are used for the augmentation of TTRPG. Still, usage of wearable devices and movement-based gameplay in such games is a rather underexplored area although they have a potential for enhancing the player experience according to the previous studies. To delve into this area, we developed a new interactive environment comprised of arm-worn devices and an augmented die. These devices, together with a new role-playing game system, facilitate movement-based gameplay which encourage players to enact their characters with their bodies. In this paper, we explained the specifications of this gaming environment and our demonstration setting.

User Oriented Design Speculation and Implications for an Arm-Worn Wearable Device for Table-Top Role-Playing Games

Abstract

Augmenting table-top role-playing games (TTRPG) with computers is an extensive research area. Nevertheless, wearable devices were not considered a part of TTRPG before. Previous studies speculate that wearables may be valuable additions for games by altering many aspects some of which can address TTRPG such as character identification. Still, we did not encounter a player oriented exploratory study which suggests possible utilization ways for these devices. Therefore, we organized a participatory design workshop with 25 participants aiming at eliciting ideas from users to produce design knowledge about the interaction techniques, actions, visual properties and the GM's role. We also wanted to understand users' overall reactions to the idea of wearables in TTRPG. The workshop resulted in 5 conceptual device designs which led to design implications that can guide designers in this unexplored area. Moreover, we proposed a speculative arm-worn device drawing upon these implications.

It Made More Sense: Comparison of User-Elicited On-skin Touch and Freehand Gesture Sets

Abstract

Research on gestural control interfaces is getting more widespread for the purpose of creating natural interfaces. Two of these popular gesture types are freehand and on-skin touch gestures, because they eliminate the use of an intermediary device. Previous studies investigated these modalities separately with user-elicitation methods; however, there is a gap in the field considering their comparison. In this study, we compare user-elicited on-skin touch and freehand gesture sets to explore users' preferences. Thus, we conducted an experiment in which we compare 13 gestures to control computer tasks for each set. Eighteen young adults participated in our study and filled our survey consisted of NASA Task Load Index and 4 additional items of social acceptability, learnability, memorability, and the goodness. The results show that on-skin touch gestures were less physically demanding and more socially acceptable compared to freehand gestures. On the other hand, freehand gestures were more intuitive than on-skin touch gestures. Overall, our results suggest that different gesture types could be useful in different scenarios. Our contribution to the field might inspire designers and developers to make better judgments for designing new gestural interfaces for a variety of devices.

Hands as a Controller: User Preferences for Hand Specific On-Skin Gestures

Abstract

Hand-specific on-skin (HSoS) gestures are a trending interaction modality yet there is a gap in the field regarding users' preferences about these gestures. Thus, we conducted a user-elicitation study collecting 957 gestures from 19 participants for 26 commands. Results indicate that (1) users use one hand as a reference object, (2) load different meanings to different parts of the hand, (3) give importance to hand-properties rather than the skin properties and (4) hands can turn into self-interfaces. Moreover, according to users' subjective evaluations, (5) exclusive gestures are less tiring than the intuitive ones. We present users' subjective evaluations regarding these and present a 33-element taxonomy to categorize them. Furthermore, we present two user-defined gesture sets; the intuitive set including users' first choices and natural-feeling gestures, and the exclusive set which includes more creative gestures indigenous to this modality. Our findings can inspire and guide designers and developers of HSoS.

GestAnalytics: Experiment and Analysis Tool for Gesture-Elicitation Studies

Abstract

Gesture-elicitation studies are common and important studies for understanding user preferences. In these studies, researchers aim at extracting gestures which are desirable by users for different kinds of interfaces. During this process, researchers have to manually analyze many videos which is a tiring and a time-consuming process. Although current tools for video analysis provide annotation opportunity and features like automatic gesture analysis, researchers still need to (1) divide videos into meaningful pieces, (2) manually examine each piece, (3) match collected user data with these, (4) code each video and (5) verify their coding. These processes are burdensome and current tools do not aim to make this process easier and faster. To fill this gap, we developed "GestAnalytics" with features of simultaneous video monitoring, video tagging and filtering. Our internal pilot tests show that GestAnalytics can be a beneficial tool for researchers who practice video analysis for gestural interfaces.

Wearable devices have a crucial impact on our bodies since they directly affect our appearance. However, wearable design practitioners focus more on the practical functionalities of the technology, leaving more investigation needed on what kind of visual expressions the technology might enable on wearable devices. With a critical approach on this functional perspective, the authors conducted a design workshop with fashion design and engineering students in which they first created art expressions and then wearable devices by using technological components. This practitioner’s essay reflects on the resulting hands-on design experiences in new visual expressions that would not have been possible with just traditional materials.

Developing a Customizable Arm-worn Wearable Device Based on Gestural Controls for Pen-and-Paper Role-Playing Games

Abstract

With the integration of tangible and touchable surface technologies to gaming, a new game genre called “computer augmented tabletop games” emerged. These games combine the analog and digital and thereby augment tabletop games with computational power allowing new possibilities in gameplay and game experience while maintaining the tangible aspects of tabletop games. Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPG) are also among the popular genres which were benefited from this augmentation movement. On the other hand, movement-based game play became another trending modality in game research. Development of the embodied interaction methods led to the commercialization of movement-based game play with the invention of game devices such as Wii, Playstation Move or Kinect. Research on this modality put forth that it engages player more in the digital games. Upon this, wearable devices, which can support movement base game-play seamlessly, attracted attention in game research and researchers speculated that these devices can boost the connectedness to imaginary worlds of games. Therefore, both these concepts are claimed to increase immersion and player/character relationship experience, yet they have been never considered as part of TTRPG where these two concepts are critical for an ideal game experience. To fill this gap, we developed a game system, WEARPG, which incorporates movement-based game play supported by arm-worn devices and an augmented die. We believe that TTRPG provides an appropriate environment to test the effects of both wearables and movement-based gameplay on the immersion and player/character relationship. Moreover, TTRPG opens a new exploration area for movement-based gameplay, which is mostly focused on short-term and action-based games, in implementing it into the narrative-based long-term gameplay. Similarly, how to incorporate wearable devices in a way that can increase the immersion or player/character relationship is underexplored and TTRPG environment is promising to dig this subject deeper. While developing WEARPG, we administer a research through design method comprised of participatory design workshop as a formative research phase to design an artifact and series of user tests in different states of the design process to understand the effects of arm-worn device and movement-based gameplay on player experience. To summarize our research process, we first (a) organized a participatory design workshop with 25 participants including TTRPG players and game masters, cosplayers, interaction designers and jewelry designers, (b) extracted preliminary design implications with the data collected from the workshop, (c) designed a role-playing game system that can incorporate movement based gameplay and arm-worn devices, (d) test this system with Wizard-of-Oz method and experience prototypes, (e) extracted preliminary game design implications with the data collected from user tests, (f) improved the game system and developed a working prototype of arm-worn device and an additional device which will replace the dice, (g) tested this system in order to understand the effects of these concepts on the player experience, (h) created design themes about incorporating wearable devices and movement-based gameplay for narrative-based long-term games by satisfying user expectations. As a result of our study, we obtained design knowledge in different levels that can help designers about integrating wearables and movement-based gameplay to tabletop games. Moreover, we tested out these concepts with players to understand their effects on immersion and player/character relationship. Our feedback from participants shows that wearables and movement-based gameplay can really add up to player experience in terms of player/character relationship and immersion. As we anticipated, players reported that carrying a part of their character helped them to get into the role of the fictional character. Movement-based gameplay also provided a similar effect as most of the players identified their movements and effort in the real life with the effort of the character in the imaginary world. Still, a possible mismatch between player and character abilities can be problematic. Moreover, in long-term engagement, correct design for the placement of the movement-based play in the game is important for keeping players engaged. Our design themes highlight possible ways of overcoming these problems.

WEARPG: Game Design Implications for Movement-Based Play in Table-Top Role-Playing Games with Arm-Worn Devices

Abstract

Combining the physical and the digital is one of the most trending topics in game research in HCI. Augmenting the table-top role-playing games (TTRPG) by adding electronic devices is a growing research area, yet the introduction of new play styles is still open for exploration. We believe that integration of wearable devices and movement-based play, which are also prominent research areas for gaming, hold potential for increasing the TTRPG experience since these are observed to increase the connectedness of players to imaginary world of games by previous studies. However, such augmentation will also bring changes in game design and these changes were not investigated thorougly in previous studies. To understand how game design of such games may change due to the usage of wearables and movement-based play, we conducted a participatory design workshop with (1) 25 participants, (2) designed a new game system according to our findings and (3) evaluated it with iterative tests with 15 participants in TTRPG sessions. Our study resulted in 8 player-centered game design implications for the use of arm-worn devices and movment-based play in narrative based long-term games like TTRPG. The implications present clues about forming the narrative, regulating the rules and the functional use of the device in game mechanics.

Sensation: Measuring the Effects of a Human-to-Human Social Touch Based Controller on the Player Experience

Abstract

We observe an increasing interest on usage of full-body interaction in games. However, human-to-human social touch interaction has not been implemented as a sophisticated gaming apparatus. To address this, we designed the Sensation, a device for detecting touch patterns between players, and introduce the game, Shape Destroy, which is a collaborative game designed to be played with social touch. To understand if usage of social touch has a meaningful contribution to the overall player experience in collaborative games we conducted a user study with 30 participants. Participants played the same game using i) the Sensation and ii) a gamepad, and completed a set of questionnaires aimed at measuring the immersion levels. As a result, the collected data and our observations indicated an increase in general, shared, ludic and affective involvement with significant differences. Thus, human-to-human touch can be considered a promising control method for collaborative physical games.

Experiencing Human-to-Human Touch in Digital Games

Abstract

Digital games have been equipped with novel control styles which promotes natural interaction. However, Human-to-Human Social Touch (HHST) has not been investigated as a gaming apparatus thoroughly. We believe that HHST can be a valuable contribution since it can convey different messages with different patterns and would provide a rich collaborative experience with physical contact. To explore this area, we developed the Sensation which is a control apparatus detecting the different touch types between two players. To observe the gaming experience we implemented the game, Shape Destroy, and conducted a user study with 30 participants to understand its effects on player experience. Results showed that HHST, provided by the Sensation, added to game experience boosting social, ludic and emotional aspects.

Human to human touch interaction (social touch) has not been investigated thoroughly as a control apparatus for gaming purposes although it holds potential. Therefore, we have developed the concept of DubTouch which is an interactive environment comprised of double sided display and touch areas where two players can touch each other. To investigate its potential, we conducted two step research method comprised of a user study and a design workshop. As a result of the user study with 10 participants, 6 categories of social touch patterns are generated. Two of these categories, found both intuitive and exclusive to DubTouch according to our evaluations. Design Workshop, with 10 experts, concluded with two games. The properties of control schemes of these games match with the results of the user study. Moreover, our observations showed that both games have created uncommon gaming experiences by utilizing social touch and by benefiting face to face positions of players.

Anything Left to Borrow From Cinema? Guidelines for Game Narrative

Abstract

Storytelling in computer games is a subject on which many research- es have been done throughout the years. With the technological development in rendering and animation techniques, the cinematographic approach to storytell- ing in games also improved dramatically making games stand closer to cinema. Therefore, we decided to analyze 7 movies to see if any alternatives left which games designers can barrow from cinematographic representation. As a result of our analysis we came up with 8 guidelines holding potential for enhancing the story telling in games. Our research showed that, the techniques used in cinema still have clues for storytelling in games and further researches will be useful.

The Chant (Global Game Jam 2016)

Abstract

Flying Funky Tribal Alien Dudes & Dudesses zap around in space with their UFO's and chant to put out volcanoes wherever they find them! At least that's the idea... Chant is a crowd sourced game which relies on chanting as loudly as possible. For maximum experience, the game must be played with many people, so you may just watch the video we (will) upload. The game formula is simple: 1. Gather friends 2. Find volcano (the game comes with one) 3. Chant what the chieftain says 4. Put out volcano 5. Repeat process An experience for crowds, brought to you by Oğuz, Erdin, Ahmet, Burak, Okan, Gürkan & Gül. Detailed Intstructions: - When the game begins you will see the chieftain will say silence. Keep your silence and press T. - Then you will see chieftain ordering you the scream. Press T and shout as loud as you can. - Game begins. - You can activate attack mode by saying "A (uh)" or defense mode by saying "i (eh)". - In attack mode you need to chant keeping up the rhythm of the tribe. - In defense mode you need to shout continuously to escape from the rocks that the volcano throws you. - If you can do it properly you can put out the volcano. If you can't (and most probably this will be the case) Volcano will put you out!
