A question of realism. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hetherington, R., Crerar, A., & Turner, P. (2004). A question of realism. In User-Centered Interaction Paradigms for Universal Access in the Information Society (68-76). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30111-0_6

We present the results of an exploratory study investigating the feasibility of using multimedia software to teach life skills to adults with learning difficulties. As a precursor to determining whether the clients would benefit from the software, we... Read More about A question of realism..

Towards the wireless ward: evaluating a trial of networked PDAs in the National Health Service. (2004)

In this paper, we describe a pilot study of the clinical use of a wireless network of personal digital assistants (PDAs). We describe how we are dealing with the concerns of the clinicians with respect to maintaining the security of patient records a...

Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & McGregor, I. (2004). Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective.

This paper presents an investigation into how sound can be used to create a sense of place (that is, the sense of being in that particular place). In the study, people were asked to speak aloud and tell us what they could hear. The analysis of these... Read More about Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective.

Beyond relative advantage: factors in end-user uptake of computer supported cooperative working. (2003)
Book Chapter
Turner, S., & Turner, P. (2003). Beyond relative advantage: factors in end-user uptake of computer supported cooperative working. In Advanced Topics in End User Computing II (18-43). Idea Press

Researchers in Information Systems have produced a rich collection of metaanalyses and models of factors influencing the uptake of information technologies. In the domain of CSCW, however, these models have largely been neglected, and while there are...

Activity theory: another perspective on task analysis. (2003)
Book Chapter
Turner, P., & McEwan, T. (2003). Activity theory: another perspective on task analysis. In D. Diaper, & N. Stanton (Eds.), The Handbook of Task Analysis for Human-Computer Interaction (423-444). CRC Press

In this chapter, we introduce activity theory, describing its origins and its principal researchers and thinkers. We stress its descriptive power and its usefulness in defining uniquely a unit of analysis for work. We contrast its development with th...

Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., McGregor, I., Turner, S., & Carroll, F. (2003). Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place.

We report an empirical study into the creation of, and response to, a soundscape of a computer centre. We contrast the use of presence questionnaires, as means of assessing the sense of being-there, against a more phenomenological approach. We con...

Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, S., Turner, P., Carroll, F., O'Neill, S., Benyon, D., McCall, R., & Smyth, M. (2003, June). Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. Paper presented at 3rd UK Conference of the Environmental Psychology Network

The EC funded project BENOGO seeks to re-create real places using photo-realistic immersive virtual reality technology and in so doing investigates the nature of presence and sense of place in such environments. We discuss the first stages in our... Read More about Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments..

Two phenomenological studies of place. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2003, January). Two phenomenological studies of place. Paper presented at BCS- HCI Conference 2003

We introduce our initial investigations into the phenomenology of place as part of the BENOGO project. BENOGO is concerned with giving people the experience of ‘being there without going there’. Employing a state-of-the-art mixture of photorealist... Read More about Two phenomenological studies of place..

Contextual grounding in CVE design. (2002)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2002). Contextual grounding in CVE design. Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 14, 30-38

A proper respect for eventual context of use is crucially important for the success of virtual environments destined for real-world organisations, yet is frequently absent from accounts of the design of such applications. We describe how contextual... Read More about Contextual grounding in CVE design..
