Blended Experience Narratives (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Flint, T., O'Keefe, B., Mastermaker, M., Sturdee, M., & Benyon, D. (2022). Blended Experience Narratives. In Proceedings of the 35th British HCI and Doctoral Consortium 2022, UK. https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2022.9

Our work employs conceptual integration, otherwise known as blending, as a tool for designing interactions that work across and between the digital/physical divide. Theoretical approaches to blends can be difficult to navigate and a hard subject to g... Read More about Blended Experience Narratives.

Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Quinton, M., Mcgregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2021). Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts. In AM '21: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Audio Mostly (72-80). https://doi.org/10.1145/3478384.3478390

This study investigates the design and evaluation of a sonification designed to detect any planets orbiting within an asteroid belt of an exosolar system. The interface was designed for an astronomer who studies this phenomenon. User centered design... Read More about Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts.

Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Quinton, M., McGregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2021). Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs. In The 26th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD 2021)

This study investigated the design and evaluation of a sonification, created for an astronomer who studies exosolar accretion discs. User design methods were applied to sonify data that could allow the classification of accretion discs. The sonificat... Read More about Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs.

Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh Traders Design Fiction (2020)
Journal Article
O’Keefe, B., Flint, T., Mastermaker, M., Sturdee, M., Chirico, A., & Benyon, D. (2020). Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh Traders Design Fiction. Frameless, 3(1), Article 11

The increasing ubiquity of interactions that involve complementary digital content, physical objects, and spaces, brings about new challenges for designers. There is a need to embed designs in legacy systems, whether those are existing physical struc... Read More about Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh Traders Design Fiction.

Investigating Effective Methods of Designing Sonifications (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Quinton, M., McGregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2018). Investigating Effective Methods of Designing Sonifications. In Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Auditory Display - ICAD 2018. https://doi.org/10.21785/icad2018.011

This study aims to provide an insight into effective sonification design. There are currently no standardized design methods, allowing a creative development approach. Sonifcation has been implemented in many different applications from scientific da... Read More about Investigating Effective Methods of Designing Sonifications.

User Experience in Cross-channel Ecosystems (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Benyon, D., & Resmini, A. (2017). User Experience in Cross-channel Ecosystems. In Proceedings of the British HCI Conference 2017. https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2017.38

Recent developments in information and communication technologies have left interaction design and human-computer interaction (HCI) with something of a conceptual gap. The distinction between physical and digital spaces is increasingly blurred. Cloud... Read More about User Experience in Cross-channel Ecosystems.

Permaculture as a foundation for sustainable interaction design and UX (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Egan, C., Benyon, D., & Thompson, R. (2017). Permaculture as a foundation for sustainable interaction design and UX. In Proceedings of British HCI 2017. https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2017.93

The main objective of this work is to gain an understanding of the relationships between UX and permaculture. This will deliver insights as to how digital media development can support the need for people to live and work in more ecologically conscio...

Sustainable HCI: Blending permaculture and user-experience (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Benyon, D., & Egan, C. (2017). Sustainable HCI: Blending permaculture and user-experience. In DIS '17 Companion Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference Companion Publication on Designing Interactive Systems (39-43). https://doi.org/10.1145/3064857.3079115

For approximately 10 years the SIGCHI Sustainable HCI (sHCI) and Sustainable Interaction Design (SID) communities have debated the contribution that HCI can make to sustainability. However, there has been little real progress in the field with few, i... Read More about Sustainable HCI: Blending permaculture and user-experience.

To uncover the secrets of exoplanets, try listening to them (2016)
Digital Artefact
Quinton, M., Benyon, D., & McGregor, I. (2016). To uncover the secrets of exoplanets, try listening to them. [Website]

From rainfall patterns to share price performance, the usual way to analyse any data that shows something changing over a period of time is to put it into a graphic. Making data visual usually makes it much easier to understand the trends – but not a... Read More about To uncover the secrets of exoplanets, try listening to them.
