Abstract

We describe the results of a design project about making scarce resources perceptible: a campfire-inspired lamp, a router, and a knife block. All three are `designed for discomfort' and intended to serve as thought-provoking objects.

Simulating an extendable tangible slider for eyes-free one-handed interaction on mobile devices
AVI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces

Sliders are widely used on mobile devices. Envisioning mobile devices that can dynamically deform to raise tangible controls from the screen surface, tangible sliders offer the benefit of eyes-free interaction. However, reaching for distant values with ...
Happy Moves, Sad Grooves: Using Theories of Biological Motion and Affect to Design Shape-Changing Interfaces
DIS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems

The design of shape-changing interfaces to show emotions relies on craft skill with few clear guidelines. Through two experiments, we explore how to design such interfaces using theories of the relation between biological motion and affect. In the first ...

CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

A core challenge in tabletop research is to support transitions between individual activities and team work. Shape-changing tabletops open up new opportunities for addressing this challenge. However, interaction design for shape-changing furniture is in ...
