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...

Sketching concatenative synthesis: audiovisual Isomorphism in reduced modes. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tsiros, A., LePlâtre, G., & Smyth, M. (2012, July). Sketching concatenative synthesis: audiovisual Isomorphism in reduced modes. Presented at 9th Sound and Music Computing Conference

This paper presents a prototype allowing the control of a
concatenative synthesis algorithm using a 2D sketching
interface. The design of the system is underpinned by a
preliminary discussion in which isomorphisms between
auditory and visual phen... Read More about Sketching concatenative synthesis: audiovisual Isomorphism in reduced modes..

Influences of Design Tools on Concepts Generation (2012)

A framework to inform PSS Conceptual Design by using system-in-use data (2012)
Journal Article
Hussain, R., Lockett, H., & Annamalai Vasantha, G. V. (2012). A framework to inform PSS Conceptual Design by using system-in-use data. Computers in Industry, 63(4), 319-327. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compind.2012.02.013

Both the Product-Service System (PSS) literature and industry express a need to close the design loop by using product-in-use data to inform PSS Conceptual Design. Nevertheless, how to actually accomplish this is largely unknown. This research makes... Read More about A framework to inform PSS Conceptual Design by using system-in-use data.

Designing tangible interaction for embodied facilitation (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A. (2012, February). Designing tangible interaction for embodied facilitation. Presented at Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction - TEI '12

Designing and evaluating tangible interaction is a challenging ad-hoc process. This paper argues that if the field of tangible interaction is to continue to develop, it will need to adopt design methodologies and guidelines that reflect its unique fe...
