Conference Proceeding
Spence, J., Bedwell, B., Coleman, M., Benford, S., Koleva, B. N., Adams, M., …Løvlie, A. S. (2019). Seeing with New Eyes: Designing for In-the-Wild Museum Gifting. In CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Proceedings (CHI 2019), May 4–9, 2019, Glasgow, UK. https://doi.org/10.1145/3290605.3300235

This paper presents the GIFT smartphone app, an artist-led Research through Design project benefitting from a three-day in-the-wild deployment. The app takes as its premise the generative potential of combining the contexts of gifting and museum visi... Read More about Seeing with New Eyes: Designing for In-the-Wild Museum Gifting.

Exploring relationships between museum artefacts through spatial interaction (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Ali, S., Bedwell, B., & Koleva, B. (2018). Exploring relationships between museum artefacts through spatial interaction. In NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (224-235). https://doi.org/10.1145/3240167.3240217

We propose a novel approach, which involves visitors physically manipulating visual representations of artefacts and scanning with their mobile phone different groups or sequences of items in order to reveal digital information about their relationsh...

Deepening Visitor Engagement with Museum Exhibits through Hand-crafted Visual Markers (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Ali, S., Koleva, B., Bedwell, B., & Benford, S. (2018). Deepening Visitor Engagement with Museum Exhibits through Hand-crafted Visual Markers. In Proceedings of the 2018 on Designing Interactive Systems Conference 2018 - DIS '18 (523-534). https://doi.org/10.1145/3196709.3196786

Visual markers, in particular QR codes, have become widely adopted in museums to enable low cost interactive applications. However, visitors often do not engage with them. In this paper we explore the application of visual makers that can be designed... Read More about Deepening Visitor Engagement with Museum Exhibits through Hand-crafted Visual Markers.

Digital energy visualisations in the workplace: the e-Genie tool (2017)
Journal Article
Spence, A., Goulden, M., Leygue, C., Banks, N., Bedwell, B. D., Jewell, M., …Ferguson, E. (in press). Digital energy visualisations in the workplace: the e-Genie tool. Building Research and Information, https://doi.org/10.1080/09613218.2018.1409569

Building management systems are designed for energy managers; there are few energy feedback systems designed to engage staff. A tool, known as e-Genie, was developed to engage workplace occupants with energy data and support them to take action to re...

"Proof in the Pudding": Designing IoT Plants to Promote Wellbeing (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Martindale, S., Bedwell, B., Phillips, R., & Pedros, M. (2017). "Proof in the Pudding": Designing IoT Plants to Promote Wellbeing. In DIS '17: Proceedings of the 2017 Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (529–540). https://doi.org/10.1145/3064663.3064743

This paper contributes a participatory design case study that used workshops and ideation frameworks to scaffold a conceptualisation of "user data-actuated" plants. The framework combines ideation cards, worksheets and facilitated co-design, guiding... Read More about "Proof in the Pudding": Designing IoT Plants to Promote Wellbeing.

Learning from the experts: enabling and studying DIY development of location-based visitor experiences (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Bedwell, B. D., Slack, P., & Greenhalgh, C. (2015). Learning from the experts: enabling and studying DIY development of location-based visitor experiences. . https://doi.org/10.1145/2750858.2805838

In this paper we show how -- with the aid of enabling technology -- creative Location Based Experiences can be developed for visitors by non-technical professionals from the cultural heritage sector. We look at how these "Place Experts" approach and... Read More about Learning from the experts: enabling and studying DIY development of location-based visitor experiences.

Smart grids, smart users? The role of the user in demand side management (2014)
Journal Article
Goulden, M., Bedwell, B., RODDEN, T., Rennick-Egglestone, S., & Spence, A. (2014). Smart grids, smart users? The role of the user in demand side management. Energy Research and Social Science, 2, 21-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2014.04.008

Smart grids are a key feature of future energy scenarios, with the overarching goal of better aligning energy generation and demand. The work presented here considers the role of the user in such systems, and the contexts in which such roles might em... Read More about Smart grids, smart users? The role of the user in demand side management.

Engaging with energy reduction: Does a climate change frame have the potential for achieving broader sustainable behaviour? (2013)
Journal Article
Spence, A., Leygue, C., Bedwell, B., & O'Malley, C. (2014). Engaging with energy reduction: Does a climate change frame have the potential for achieving broader sustainable behaviour?. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 38, 17-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2013.12.006

Reducing energy use is key in meeting ambitious climate change targets being set around the world. This research considers the psychological impact, and potential for behavioural spillover, resulting from receiving energy information framed in terms...

Exploring reactions to widespread energy monitoring (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Colley, J. A., Bedwell, B., Crabtree, A., & Rodden, T. (2013). Exploring reactions to widespread energy monitoring. doi:10.1007/978-3-642-40498-6_6

This paper explores the measurement, apportionment and representation of widespread energy monitoring. We explicate the accountability to users of the data collected by this type of monitoring when it is presented to them as a single daylong picture....

Participant experiences of mobile device-based diary studies (2013)
Journal Article
Sun, X., Golightly, D., Cranwell, J., Bedwell, B. D., & Sharples, S. (2013). Participant experiences of mobile device-based diary studies. International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction, 5(2), https://doi.org/10.4018/jmhci.2013040104

Mobile device-based diary studies have potential as contextual data capture methods that address the limitations of the traditional paper-based diary method. While there have been a number of studies that demonstrate the power of the mobile device-ba... Read More about Participant experiences of mobile device-based diary studies.
