ExoPranayama: a biofeedback-driven actuated environment for supporting yoga breathing practices (2016)
Journal Article
Moran, S., Jäger, N., Schnädelbach, H., & Glover, K. (2016). ExoPranayama: a biofeedback-driven actuated environment for supporting yoga breathing practices. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 20(2), 261-275. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-016-0910-3

© 2016, The Author(s). Both breathing and internal self-awareness are an integral part of any yoga practice. We describe and discuss the development of ExoPranayama, an actuated environment that physically manifests users’ breathing in yoga. Through...

Listening to the forest and its curators: lessons learnt from a bioacoustic smartphone application deployment (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moran, S., Pantidi, N., Rodden, T., Chamberlain, A., Griffiths, C., Zilli, D., & Merrett, G. (2014). Listening to the forest and its curators: lessons learnt from a bioacoustic smartphone application deployment. . https://doi.org/10.1145/2556288.2557022

Our natural environment is complex and sensitive, and is home to a number of species on the verge of extinction. Surveying is one approach to their preservation, and can be supported by technology. This paper presents the deployment of a smartphone-b... Read More about Listening to the forest and its curators: lessons learnt from a bioacoustic smartphone application deployment.

Using adaptive architecture to support yoga practices: social considerations for design
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jäger, N., Moran, S., & Schnädelbach, H. (2014, March). Using adaptive architecture to support yoga practices: social considerations for design. Presented at IEEE - PerComp: Social Implications of Pervasive Computing, Budapest, Hungary

The field of Adaptive Architecture aims to design built environments, which truly adapt to their occupants. ExoBuilding is an in-house prototypical example of Adaptive Architecture, which actuates in response to breathing and heart- rate of its occup...

Using adaptive architecture to probe attitudes towards ubiquitous monitoring
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moran, S., Jaeger, N., Schnadelbach, H., & Glover, K. (2013, June). Using adaptive architecture to probe attitudes towards ubiquitous monitoring. Presented at 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS), Toronto, ON, Canada

The term Ubiquitous Monitoring aims to capture the unprecedented degree to which data collection will occur in the future through ongoing developments in embedded, wireless and sensory technologies. Intelligent buildings represent the most current in... Read More about Using adaptive architecture to probe attitudes towards ubiquitous monitoring.

Now Wash Your Hands: Understanding Food Legislation Compliance in a Virtual Reality Kitchen
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Flintham, M., Hyde, R., Tennent, P., Meyer-Sahling, J.-H., & Moran, S. (2020, November). Now Wash Your Hands: Understanding Food Legislation Compliance in a Virtual Reality Kitchen. Presented at CHI PLAY '20: Proceedings of the Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play, Virtual Event, Canada

The Corrupt Kitchen is a room-scale virtual-reality game in which players act as a chef servicing a queue of customers. Tasked with making burgers, players must prepare the food while ensuring it is safe to eat, engaging explicitly and implicitly wit...
