It is well-established that while cognitive psychology provides a sound foundation for an understanding of our interactions with digital technology, this is no longer sufficient to make sense of how we use and experience the personal, relational and...

Aldhous, J., Hetherington, R., & Turner, P. (2017). The Digital Rubber Hand Illusion. In Proceedings of British HCI 2017 – Digital Make-Believe. https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2017.59

The rubber hand illusion (RHI) is a body ownership illusion whereby congruently stroking a fake rubber hand and a subject's hidden hand while observing the rubber hand produces the illusion of them feeling the touch on the rubber hand and experiencin...

HCI Redux: The Promise of Post-Cognitive Interaction (2016)
Book
Turner, P. (2016). HCI Redux: The Promise of Post-Cognitive Interaction. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42235-0

This book explores the role of cognition in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) assessing how the field has developed over the past thirty years and discusses where the field is heading, as we begin to live in increasingly interconnected di...

The Ensoulment of Virtual Space Minecraft as a Tool for Engaging With a Sculpture Park (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Flint, T., Turner, P., & Banach, A. (2016, June). The Ensoulment of Virtual Space Minecraft as a Tool for Engaging With a Sculpture Park. Presented at 15th International Conference on Interaction Design and Children - IDC '16

This is a demonstration of a Minecraft facsimile of Jupiter Artland, a sculpture park on the outskirts of Edinburgh. With the cooperation of primary school children we developed a mixed reality game employing Minecraft. Our aim is to investigate atta...

Digital Make-Believe (2016)
Book
Turner, P., & Harviainen, J. T. (2016). Digital Make-Believe. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-29553-4

Make-believe plays a far stronger role in both the design and use of interfaces, games and services than we have come to believe. This edited volume illustrates ways for grasping and utilising that connection to improve interaction, user experiences,... Read More about Digital Make-Believe.

Affect, Availability and Presence. (2015)
Book Chapter
Turner, P. (2015). Affect, Availability and Presence. In M. Lombard, F. Biocca, J. Freeman, W. Ijsselsteijn, & R. J. Schaevitz (Eds.), Immersed in Media (59-71). Springer International. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-10190-3_4

This chapter is intended to be both theoretical and a little speculative. It draws upon psychological, neuro-dynamic and philosophical sources to create an account of what happens when we experience presence, that is, when we become aware that we are...

The limits of pretending (2015)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Hetherington, R., Turner, S., & Kosek, M. (2015). The limits of pretending. Digital Creativity, 26(3-4), 304-317. https://doi.org/10.1080/14626268.2015.1091778

We propose that pretending is a cognitive faculty which enables us to create and immerse ourselves in possible worlds. These worlds range from the veridical to the fantastic and are frequently realised as stories varying from the fictional to the sci... Read More about The limits of pretending.

Second virial coefficient of rod-shaped molecules and molecular dynamics simulations of the isotropic phase (2015)
Journal Article
Heyes, D. M., Turner, P., English, R. J., Williams, R., & Brańka, A. C. (2015). Second virial coefficient of rod-shaped molecules and molecular dynamics simulations of the isotropic phase. Physical Review E, 91(4), 042134-042144. https://doi.org/10.1103/

The second virial coefficient, B 2 is computed of linear rigid rods composed of m equally spaced sites interacting with sites on other rods via the hard-sphere or Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) pair potentials. The dependence of B 2 on a wide ran... Read More about Second virial coefficient of rod-shaped molecules and molecular dynamics simulations of the isotropic phase.

Enactive appropriation (2015)
Journal Article
Flint, T., & Turner, P. (2016). Enactive appropriation. AI & society, 31(1), 41-49. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-015-0582-y

The appropriation of digital artefacts involves their use, which has changed, evolved or developed beyond their original design. Thus, to understand appropriation, we must understand use. We define use as the active, purposive exploitation of the aff... Read More about Enactive appropriation.

Presence: Is it just pretending? (2015)
Journal Article
Turner, P. (2016). Presence: Is it just pretending?. AI & society, 31(2), 147-156. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-014-0579-y

Our sense of presence in the real world helps regulate our behaviour within it by telling us about the status and effectiveness of our actions. As such, this ability offers us practical advantages in dealing effectively with the world. It is also an... Read More about Presence: Is it just pretending?.
