Presentation / Conference Contribution
Orzechowski, P. M., Atkinson, D., Padilla, S., Methven, T. S., Baurley, S., & Chantler, M. (2011, August). Interactivity to Enhance Perception: Does Increased Interactivity in Mobile Visual Presentation Tools Facilitate More Accurate Rating of Textile Properties?. Presented at MobileHCI'11 Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services, Stockholm, Sweden

To create a better next-generation textile-browsing interface for iOS devices, we need to establish which elements of an interface are responsible for communicating which textile qualities. It has already been shown that interactive decision making a...

Wild networks: the articulation of feedback and evaluation in a creative inter-disciplinary design studio (2011)
Thesis
Joel, S. Wild networks: the articulation of feedback and evaluation in a creative inter-disciplinary design studio. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4578

It is argued that design exists within a collective social network of negotiation, feedback sharing and reflection that is integral to the design process. To encourage this, requires a technological solution that enables designers to access, be aware...
