The Prevalence and Potential Problem of Cuteness in Zoomorphic Robots
Cuteness is a powerful aesthetic, and psychological research shows that cute things such as infants, baby animals, and toys capture and secure our attention, promote nurturing behaviour, and influence our preferences. Therefore, cuteness is a common design outcome in many consumer products, including robotics. However, we suggest that making cute zoomorphic robots may not be without its issues due to the complexities introduced by the analogies t…
Co-Designing Educational Robotic Pet Concepts with Animal Welfare Educators and Children
Animal welfare education could greatly benefit from customised robots to help children learn about pets and their behaviour, and thereby promote positive, safe child-pet interactions. To this end, we ran co-design workshops with animal welfare educators and children to identify key requirements for robotic pets from their perspectives. Our findings encompass a zoomorphic robot’s appearance, behaviour, and features, as well as concepts for a narra…
Socially Assistive Robots and Sensory Feedback for Engaging Older Adults in Cognitive Activities
Motivating older adults to engage in cognitive activities has the potential to slow cognitive decline. This article presents a participatory design (PD) workshop and follow-up prototype evaluation to determine how cognitive training activities can be adapted to integrate socially assistive robots and sensory feedback (visual, auditory, and haptic, specifically). The workshop with older adults and therapists resulted in concrete designs and strate…
Future forums
Future Forums are multiphase user centered design workshops, with the early phases aiming to initiate discussions, that then leads to the co-design of game elements centered around aspects of code security. The same procedure was followed for each of the three Future Forums, each focusing to a slightly different theme around cyber security. By engaging code-citizens in discussions on cyber security that are rooted in their personal experiences an…
Resilience, smartphone use and language among urban refugees in the Global south
The formidable challenges faced by urban refugees in the Global South have received considerable attention, calling for new approaches to support their resilience. Although critical interest in resilience and the role of digital technology in enabling refugees to navigate their new surroundings has been growing, little attention has been paid to the influence of language and literacy in processes of resilience-building and the use of such technol…
Featurerealizing the vision of mobile spatial interaction
Mobile computers are increasingly used as a link between the physical and the digital worlds. This innovation demands a more sophisticated multidisciplinary approach to the modeling of spatial interaction than has yet been developed. Our aim in this article is to open up the black box of mobile spatial interaction (MSI) and discuss some issues and possible approaches that could be taken
The BC Cancer Agency Primary Prevention Program
The British Columbia Cancer Agency Centre for the Southern Interior Prevention Program operated from 1997 to 2005, resulting in community-determined cancer prevention initiatives specific to unique local needs. These initiatives included community events and forums, school food and nutrition activities, physical exercise initiatives, environment and air quality programs, early childhood education, tobacco counselling programs, and cancer preventi…

Smoking Decisions from a Teen Perspective
Our findings have significance for public health workers planning and implementing tobacco-use prevention programs aimed at teens whose smoking behaviors are not yet determined by nicotine addiction. How such programs have been traditionally framed and the ways in which peer influence and risk behaviors have been addressed may be largely irrelevant to the rationale of the adolescents themselves
Community health, community involvement, and community empowerment
The Primary Prevention of Cancer Program at the British Columbia Cancer Agency Centre for the Southern Interior (BCCA‐CSI), known as the Waddell Project, is now five years old and currently is in partnership with fourteen regional communities. Each of these communities has a range of community‐developed programs currently in place. The driving force behind the Waddell Project comes from the belief that emancipatory change is central to community …
Crossing the Line
Although adolescents are often curious about cigarettes and anxious to "try" smoking, they are unsure about what engaging in the act of smoking will mean. Most adolescents who experiment with smoking do not set out to become addicted to tobacco. Using a grounded theory approach, the authors examined the process youth undergo to regain control over their smoking. Accounts of early smoking experiences suggest that youth undergo a process to control…
