Fragments of place : revealing sense of place through shared phone images. (2009)
Digital Artefact
Smyth, M., & Helgason, I. (2009). Fragments of place : revealing sense of place through shared phone images

Is an interactive new media art installation that explores how the sharing of images, normally hidden on mobile phones, can reveal more about people's sense of place and this ultimately shared experience. Traditional views on sense of place, as exemp... Read More about Fragments of place : revealing sense of place through shared phone images..

Practical interaction design. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2009). Practical interaction design. In HCI Educators 2009 - Playing with our education (18-19)

Practical Interaction Design (PID) is a
method for teaching interaction design. It
incorporates elements of ‘pure’ interaction
design and human–computer interaction
(HCI) to convey some of the playful flavour
of the former with the tool-rich pra... Read More about Practical interaction design..

This chapter considers the role of sound, and more specifically, listening, in creating a sense of presence (of "being there") in "places" recreated by virtual reality technologies. We first briefly review the treatment of sound in place and presence... Read More about Listening, Corporeality, Place and Presence.
