Three case studies are described which explore interaction in public space. The fictio... Read More about Tangible possibilities—envisioning interactions in public space.

Aspects of lifelikeness: a framework for optional interactions with public installations (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Helgason, I., Smyth, M., & Speed, C. (2012, September). Aspects of lifelikeness: a framework for optional interactions with public installations. Presented at Designing Interactive Systems DIS 2012, Newcastle, UK

This poster presents a framework for the design and evaluation of “optional interactions” with publicly sited, non-utilitarian installations. These kinds of encounters, where an engaging experience of interaction itself is the design goal, can be reg...
