Summary: This article describes tests that have been conducted with Tactile
Dialogues, a textile pillow that can react to touch with vibrotactile stimuli
and haptic sensations. Tactile Dialogues is designed to stimulate movement and
interpersonal contact for patients in the late stages of dementia, their family
members and their caregivers. The most recent prototype of the pillow has been
tested during 15 separate visits of family members or caregivers with patients.
The aim of these tests is to find out whether personalization of the
vibrotactile stimuli is appreciated over a mirroring vibrotactile behavior. We
propose a three-scale measurement to help family members and caregivers examine
the responses of the patient: muscular relaxation, physical movement and
interpersonal contact. Through the semi-structured interviews we identified
that family members and caregivers do appreciate the opportunity to personalize
the vibrotactile behavior and that the pillow mainly functions as a way to
establish communication with the patient.

Summary: Perceptual crossing is the reciprocal interplay of perceiving while being
perceived. In this paper we discuss the last iteration of our ongoing research
project on designing for perceptive qualities in systems of interactive
products. We describe the design of explorative behavior in an artifact to
enable the artifact and a person to engage in perceptual crossing. The
explorative behavior is compared to the following and active behavior, the
results of two earlier iterations. Through the iterations we formulated,
applied and evaluated design relevant knowledge in the form of seven design
notions. These notions inform design-researchers and design-practitioners on
how to design for perceptive qualities in systems of interactive products. Here
we specifically focus on how the artifact detects active perceptive behavior of
a person, and how the artifact becomes aware of bygone perception and
anticipates on future perception. An experiment shows how participants
preferred the resulting explorative behavior that is closest to our theoretical
framework based on phenomenology.

Summary: This paper presents a design approach tackling the transformation of
behavior through 'interactive materiality' from a phenomenological perspective.
It builds upon the Interaction Frogger framework that couples action to
reaction for intuitive mapping in intelligent product interaction. Through the
discussion of two research-through-design cases, the augmented speed-skate
experience and affective pen, it highlights the opportunities for design of an
action-perception loop. Consequently, an approach is suggested that defines
three steps to be incorporated in the design process: affirming and
appreciating current behavior; designing continuous mapping for transformation;
and fine-tuning sensitivities in the interactive materiality. Thereby, it
discusses how behavior transformation through interactive materiality derived
from a theoretical level, can contribute to design knowledge on the
implementation level. The aim of this paper is to inspire design-thinking to
shift from the cognitive approach of persuasion, to a meaningful and embodied
mechanism respecting all human skills, by providing practical insights for
designers.

Summary: In this paper, we present the Sensible Alternative, a concept that enables
smart-phone users to navigate between applications by accessing
action-possibility-depending and personalized-associated applications. A single
added touch-sensitive spot on the back-side of the smart-phone provides an
alternative layer of interaction between human and machine, on top of
hierarchical system architectures. We designed and prototyped this interaction
layer that exploits the advantage of the continuous and the discrete powers of
man and machine. In our case study, we explore several consequences of a
phenomenological approach for designing complex systems, products and related
services. Here we present the research-through-design case and our reflections
based on qualitative expert confrontations on the heuristics and experience of
the use case, the Sensible Alternative. With this work we hope to inspire
design thinking to shift from hierarchical, procedural and structured design
mechanisms to embodied mechanisms when addressing complexity.

Summary: In this paper, we describe the Augmented Speed-skate Experience (ASE), a
case of movement sonification in professional speed-skating. We designed and
developed a system that provides feedback on technique to a professional
speed-skater through an extra sense-modality, i.e. sound. Complexity is
incorporated directly by the athlete and not through an external system that
would feedback representational judgments of improving speed-skating technique.
This research-through-design case explores the conditions for mapping
information directly to the body. This is done by an evaluation on several sets
of continuous parameter mappings in a field-lab setup. Results from this
qualitative evaluations show that the movement sonification mappings cause
inter-modal convergence, resulting in actual improvement. We designed a
movement sonification mapping of speed-skating technique that is informative,
motivating, non-coercive, robust and easy to apply. Feedback designed according
to existing natural acoustic conventions inherently coupled to the
speed-skaters actions, allows for complex information to be assessed and
embodied by the athlete thus improving his skating technique.

Summary: Clothing is the most intimate artefact that interacts with both body and
society. Over the past quarter century, with the introduction of new
technologies, people are experiencing unprevented changes in their behaviours
and way of living. Technology is becoming a large part of daily life and its
unchecked influence has many emotional consequences, many of which are
overlooked. The aim of this research is integrating textiles with new
technologies to create garments that provide new social interactions and
avenues for emotional expression. The experimental project has been done to
explore new possible interaction scenarios through wearable technologies by
turning an intangible phenomenon, emotion, to a tangible artefact. The paper
refers to the research question: 'How can an intangible fact, which is known as
existing but doesn't have a physical matter, emotion, be embodied and
transmitted through technology?' by means of a theoretical study on wearable
technologies and its role in emotional communication, following with an
experimental project carried out as both virtual and real prototypes. This
paper not only focuses on the prototyping process, but also addresses the user
experience during the interaction by various user perception tests.

Summary: In this paper we describe our research on how to design for perceptive
activity in artifacts in order for perceptual crossing between subject and
artifact to happen. We base our research on the phenomenology of perception
[19] and on ecological psychology [10]. Perceptual crossing is believed to be
essential to share perception and thereby to feel involved in the situation
[5,15]. We propose a theoretical model in which perceptive connections between
user, artifact and event are presented. We designed an artifact to function as
physical hypotheses [9] and show the design relevance of the model. In an
experiment we investigate how the user's feeling of involvement is influenced
in relation to differentiations of the proposed theoretical model. The results
of our experiment show that indeed perceptual crossing between user and
artifact influences the user's feeling of involvement with the artifact in
their common space. We conclude with describing several design notions
important for designing for perceptive activity in artifacts.

Summary: In this video we show PeR, short for 'Perception Rug'. The design is created
as part of our research on how to design for perceptive qualities in objects.
This research is conducted around the educational and research theme 'Wearable
Senses' and has a theoretical departure in the 'phenomenology of perception'
and 'ecological psychology'. The integration of conductive and optic fibers,
respectively enable PeR to sense the touch of a person and to let a body of
light behave within the surface of the rug. The design can be used as a
platform for the exploration of perceptive behavior. Different design
characteristics, like the size of the light body, the speed by which the body
moves, its shape, focus and direction, can be adjusted in order to design
behavior.

Summary: Design research is an emerging area in design that has increasing relevance
to the field of HCI. While we have made advances in integrating design research
methods, approaches, and outcomes in HCI, we still have a way to go. This is
due to fundamental differences in the development of design knowledge as
compared to scientific knowledge and knowledge about human theories of
behavior. We call together this panel at CHI 2011, comprised of leading
HCIdesign researchers, to explore ways to develop and refine critical
discussions of design research within the HCI community.

Summary: Physical controls are now ubiquitous in everyday interactions. Empirical
studies of physical interactions have traditionally been exploring instrumental
aspects such as error rate and experienced workload. Recently, affective
aspects of physical interaction have attracted an increased interest. In this
paper we further argue that physical controls might have a character. We
describe an exploratory study that aimed at understanding whether individuals
form character judgments of physical controls based on haptic information, and
explored the diversity across individuals' inference processes.

Summary: This paper reports on the design process and iterative development of two
tangible artefacts that aim to encourage and explore playful interactions and
dialogues between grandchildren and grandparents living at separate locations.
These designed prototypes respond to the Magic Box which is a cultural probe
specifically created to explore playful activity at-a-distance in a
non-electronic way. This paper reports on the process of project definition,
technical design requirements, scenario creation and iterative prototype
development. We interpret the ethnographic data from the Magic Box research; we
develop activity scenarios to describe potential activities; and we design and
develop working interaction prototypes to be tested in the field in future
studies.

Summary: In this paper we present a design framework to analyze person-product
interaction. Its focus is on how the user's action and the product's function
are coupled through different types of feedback and feedforward: inherent and
augmented information. Instead of using the notion of 'coupling' in an abstract
sense, our framework tries to give six practical characteristics for coupling
action and information, i.e., time, location, direction, dynamics, modality and
expression. Unifying action and information on each of these aspects makes the
interaction intuitive. The framework invites and challenges designers to
explore couplings leading towards embodied freedom of interaction.

Summary: The mood or emotional state you are in colours the way you interact with
people and systems. Future interactive systems need to recognise emotional
aspects in order to be truly adaptive. We designed an alarm clock, which
elicits rich expressive behaviour and demonstrated that it is able to read your
mood from the way you set it. We validated film clips, used them to induce
moods after which participants had to set the alarm clock. From the dynamic
setting behaviour we inferred parameters from which we calculated equations to
identify the mood. The results illustrate the importance of a tight coupling
between action and appearance in interaction design, through freedom of
interaction and matching inherent feedback.

Summary: In this paper we propose a 3-step method for designing emotionally rich
interactions, illustrated by the design of an alarm clock. By emotionally rich
interaction we understand interaction that heavily relies on emotion expressed
through action. The method addresses three questions: What are the relevant
emotional aspects for a context for experience? How can a product recognise and
express these aspects? How should the product adapt its behaviour to the user
on the basis of this information? The essence of our approach is that a product
not only elicits emotionally expressive actions, but that the feedback is
inextricably linked to these actions. The feedback should be inherent to the
design, and not gratuitously added.

Summary: In this article we describe how the augmented reality and product design
communities, which share the common interest of combining the real and the
virtual, might learn from each other. From our side, we would like to share
with you some of our ideas about product design which we consider highly
relevant for the augmented reality community. In a pamphlet we list 10
sloganesque points for action which challenge the status quo in product design.
Finally, we present some projects which show how these points could be
implemented. We hope this approach will inspire those involved in augmented
reality design and help them to avoid the pitfalls that the product design
community is now trying to crawl out of.
