Designing with multiple perspectives
Although there is an increasing body of knowledge on interactive learning environments in science education, there is little reported on the empirical process of designing such environments with multiple perspectives. This study describes the design of Tracing Carbon, a learning environment for developing grade 7–9 pupils’ systems thinking skills in the context of the carbon cycle. Following an educational design research approach, we describe an…
The role of sensors in the production of smart city spaces
Smart cities build on the idea of collecting data about the city in order for city administration to be operated more efficiently. Within a research project gathering an interdisciplinary team of researchers - engineers, designers, gender scholars and human geographers - we have been working together using participatory design approaches to explore how paying attention to the diversity of human needs may contribute to making urban spaces comforta…
Designing the user experience of musical sonification in public and semi-public spaces
Sonification refers to sonic expression of data or information. It is often thought of as an auditory complement, providing additional information about data which can reveal patterns and facilitate interpretation and understanding of the data. Hence, the listening space created by a sonifi cation is always a hybrid where auditory augmentation complements other information modalities and, in some cases, also spatial qualities. In this work, we fo…
Sustainability Means Inclusivity
The challenge of how cities can be designed and developed in an inclusive and sustainable direction is monumental. Smart city technologies currently offer the most promising solution for long-term sustainability, but the impact of such solutions will be significantly reduced without long-term, widespread adoption by citizens. In this article, we present the rationale behind an ongoing interdisciplinary research project titled “Sustainability mean…

On the significance of making in interaction design research
i m e n e t a terize design as a distinct tradition in relation to the CHI community, Bill Gaver pointed out among many other useful observations that within design, "the practice of making is a route to discovery" This instinctively rings true to me, and the paper from which the quote is taken may in fact be one of the reasons behind the growing recognition that making is important in interaction design research

Interaction criticism
Criticism is an integral part of the ongoing knowledge construction that is embraced in the more mature design disciplines—architecture, industrial design—and in the arts. Critics interpret, contextualize, interrelate, abstract, and question the artifacts of design to clarify opportunities for designs to improve everyday life and to explore the ways in which designs deliver on this promise. In doing so, they feed an ongoing dialogue between desig…
Perspectives on Aesthetic Computing
The authors present an introduction to the new interdisciplinary area of aesthetic computing and proceed to define this area with examples from each of their own disciplines, practices and research. While several decades of publication and work have resulted in significant advancements in art as implemented through technology, less emphasis has been placed on studying the converse issue of art's effect on computing, or “aesthetic computing.” The …
Animated use sketches as design representations
Interaction design requires many forms of externalization. At certain points in the process, there is a need for design representations that (1) explore the intended use situation in some detail, and still (2) appear tentative enough to afford participation and engagement by intended users and other stakeholders. The designer's task is often to create ideas on the not-yet-existing. The envisioned use situations increasingly involve complicated te…
