Algorithmic Rituals is a facilitated art experience in which visitors create collaborative movement-based “rituals” to reflect on their technology use habits. After generating a series of movements, attendees incorporate rules for how to relate their ...

Embodied sensemaking theory is thoroughly social: we make sense of the world in interaction with others. Various designs have been proposed to scaffold ‘embodied social sensemaking’. Yet the details of such scaffolding need elaboration. For example, what ...

The global spread of Covid-19 has turned remote technologies into a basic requirement for people to participate in daily social life. Accordingly, the pandemic has forced cultural institutions to adapt and focus on remote experiences in order to ...

To further enhance the immersion perception of remote interaction, avatars can be involved harnessing Head Mounted Display (HMD) based Augmented Reality (AR). In our demonstration, we present an avatar based remote interaction system AvatarMeeting, ...

In this paper, we present a method that allows the users to manipulate a remote object on tabletops using an extended pull-out gesture. The user performs the gesture by moving a ray-cast point projected from the dominant hand between two ray-cast points ...

Open ended play allows children to interact in a free and expressive manner, without defined goals. It is typical of co-located play. We describe a dual-location installation created with the goal of enabling real time, open ended interaction between ...

While watching live sports broadcasts we do not feel so emotionally connected with the performers and the in-venue fans as if we were watching it live, where the event takes place. Moreover, both remote and in-venue fans do not share a social connection,...

When using mobile screen apps on touch-based mobile devices to interact with live sports TV broadcasts, people need to keep an eye on those devices, since they do not provide tactile feedback. If the app on the mobile screen requires user interaction ...

In this video demonstration, we present a remote interaction user interface prototype -- Pointer Wizard, to provide mixed reality experience with intuitive interaction afar. By identifying finger gestures and voice commands, it allows users to interact ...

We present POKE, which is a device that enables callers to share touches during calls. POKE delivers these touches through an inflatable surface on the front of the device that receives index finger pressure inputs on the back of another device, while ...

Selecting and moving digital content on interactive tabletops often involves accessing the workspace beyond arm's reach. We present Pointable, an in-air, bimanual perspective-based interaction technique that augments touch input on a tabletop for ...

Interaction is a key element in turning public displays into a platform for social interaction, making them more engaging and valuable. However, interactive features are still rare in public displays, due to the lack of generalised abstractions for ...

To fulfil the requirements of emerging trends in mobile interaction, common patterns for system design need adaptations and extensions. The realization of explicit interaction in ambient or pervasive computing environments introduces a physical ...

To provide intuitive ways of interacting with media data, this research work addresses the seamless combination of sensor-enabled phones with large displays. An intuitive basic set of tilt gestures is introduced for a stepwise or continuous interaction ...

We describe a system designed for simple and intuitive interaction with a large screen from a distance. The approach is based on an optical pointing and tracking system which has the important property that the tracking is absolute in nature. This ...

In recent decades, families in the Western world have become more geographically distributed, making it more difficult for family members to achieve and maintain a feeling of connectedness. Different time zones and contexts and a limited awareness of ...

In this paper, we present novel systems supporting remote interactions between humans and also between humans and animals. We developed interfaces which supports non-verbal modes of communication. We introduce the Poultry.Internet system, a remote multi-...

Internet Pajama is a novel application aimed at promoting physical closeness in remote communication between parent and child. A special pajama suit which is able to reproduce a hugging sensation is developed for the child. Parent is able to hug and ...

People in close relationships, who are separated by distance, often have difficulty expressing intimacy adequately. Based on the results of an ethnographic study with couples, a prototype was developed to test the feasibility of technology in the domain ...
