Soundscape mapping: comparing listening experiences (2010)
Thesis
McGregor, I. Soundscape mapping: comparing listening experiences. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4284

The perceived auditory environment is an increasingly important part of people’s everyday interactive experiences. While sound design is an established discipline in media such as video games and cinema, this is not the case in Human-Computer Interac...

Mementos: a tangible interface supporting travel (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., & Oakley, I. (2010, October). Mementos: a tangible interface supporting travel. Presented at Proceedings of the 6th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction Extending Boundaries - NordiCHI '10, Reykjavik, Iceland

Tangible interaction promises interfaces with ready affordances, which embrace physicality and which naturally support collaboration. However, the complexity of the hardware required to produce tangible systems has typically constrained their operati... Read More about Mementos: a tangible interface supporting travel.

Soundscape mapping: a tool for evaluating sounds and auditory environments (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., LePlâtre, G., Turner, P., & Flint, T. (2010, June). Soundscape mapping: a tool for evaluating sounds and auditory environments. Presented at The 16th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD-2010)

This paper describes a soundscape mapping tool, and provides an illustration of its use in the evaluation of an in-car auditory interface. The tool addresses three areas: communicating what people are listening to, showing how soundscapes can be visu...

Wizard of Oz Experiments for a companion dialogue system: eliciting companionable conversation. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, N., Benyon, D., Bradley, J., Hansen, P., & Mival, O. (2010, September). Wizard of Oz Experiments for a companion dialogue system: eliciting companionable conversation

Working within the EU funded COMPANIONS program, we report recent work with a Wizard of Oz (WoZ) dialogue collection system.
COMPANION systems require complex models of dialogue, and new models of evaluation. Wizard of Oz dialogues give us a mechani... Read More about Wizard of Oz Experiments for a companion dialogue system: eliciting companionable conversation..

Evaluating human-machine conversation for appropriateness. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, N., Benyon, D., Hansen, P., & Mival, O. (2010, May). Evaluating human-machine conversation for appropriateness. Presented at IREC 2010, Seventh International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation, Valletta, Malta

Evaluation of complex, collaborative dialogue systems is a difficult task.Traditionally, developers have relied upon subjective feedback from the user,and parametrisation over observable metrics. However, both models place somereliance on the notion... Read More about Evaluating human-machine conversation for appropriateness..

Spaces of interaction (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benyon, D., Hook, K., & Nigay, L. (2010, April). Spaces of interaction. Presented at ACM-BCS Visions of Computer Science 2010 International Academic Research Conference, The University of Edinburgh

As the world becomes increasingly computationally enabled, so our view of human-computer interaction (HCI) needs to evolve. The proliferation of wireless connectivity and mobile devices in all their various forms moves people from being outside a com... Read More about Spaces of interaction.
