Interaction with computers is becoming an increasingly ubiquitous and public affair. With more and more interactive digital systems being deployed in places such as museums, city streets and performance venues, understanding how to design for them is becoming ever more pertinent. Crafting interactions for these public settings raises a host of new challenges for human-computer interaction, widening the focus of design from concern about an individual's dialogue with an interface to also consider the ways in which interaction affects and is affected by spectators and bystanders. Designing Interfaces in Public Settings takes a performative perspective on interaction, exploring a series of empirical studies of technology at work in public performance environments. From interactive storytelling to mobile devices on city streets, from digital telemetry systems on fairground rides to augmented reality installation interactive, the book documents the design issues emerging from the changing role of technology as it pushes out into our everyday lives. Building a design framework from these studies and the growing body of literature examining public technologies, this book provides a new perspective for understanding human-computer interaction. Mapping out this new and challenging design space, Designing Interfaces in Public Settings offers both conceptual understandings and practical strategies for interaction design practitioners, artists working with technology, and computer scientists.
Designing Interfaces in Public Settings
The rapidly increasing reach of computation into our everyday public settings presents new and significant challenges for the design of interfaces. One key feature of these settings is the increased presence of third parties to interaction, watching or passing-by as conduct with an interface takes place. This thesis assumes a performative perspective on interaction in public, presenting a framework derived from four empirical studies of interaction in a diverse series of public places--museums and galleries, city streets and funfairs--as well as observations on a variety of computer science, art and sociological literatures. As these settings are explored, a number of basic framework concepts are built up: * The first study chapter presents a deployment of an interactive exhibit within an artistic installation, introducing a basic division of roles and the ways in which visitors may be seen as Haudience to manipulations of interactive devices by Hparticipants . It also examines how visitors in an audience role may transition to active participant and vice versa. * The second study chapter describes a storytelling event that employed a torch-based interface. This chapter makes a distinction between non-professional and professional members of settings, contrasting the role of Hactor with that of participants. * The third study chapter examines a series of scientific and artistic performance events that broadcast live telemetry data from a fairground ride to a watching audience. The study expands the roles introduced in previous chapters through making a further distinction between Hbehind-the-scenes --in which Horchestrators operate--and Hcentre-stage settings--in which actors present the rider s experience to the audience. * The final study chapter presents a performance art game conducted on city streets, in which participants follow a series of often ambiguous clues in order to lead them to their goal. This chapter introduces a further Hfront-of-house setting, the notion of a circumscribing performance Hframe in which the various roles are situated, and the additional role of the Hbystander as part of this. These observations are brought together into a design framework which analyses other literature to complement the earlier studies. This framework seeks to provide a new perspective on and language for human-computer interaction (HCI), introducing a series of sensitising concepts, constraints and strategies for design that may be employed in order to approach the various challenges presented by interaction in public settings.
Interactivity and Game Creation
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Interactivity and Game Creation, ArtsIT 2020, held in Aalborg, Denmark, in December 2020. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 60 submissions. The papers represent a forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the area of arts, design and technology, including open related topics like interactivity and game creation. They are grouped in terms of content on art, installation and performance; games; design; intelligence and creativity in healthcare; wellbeing and aging.
