Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Keller, S., Chamberlain, T., & Sumpter, N. (2005, September). Collecting Pedestrian Trajectory Data In Real-time. Presented at Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics 2005, Vienna

The ability to collect pedestrian flow data, without the need for subsequent post-processing and analysis to extract measurements such as density and flow rate is a goal, which up to now, has proved infeasible on a large scale for a number of reasons...

Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kettley, S., & Smyth, M. (2006, September). Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. Presented at HCI Conference 2006

This short paper presents an experimental approach to the difficulty of evaluating interactive systems as artefacts for everyday life. The problem arises from the event-like nature of the user-centred evaluation session, as distinct from ‘being’ or t...
