Designing the spectator experience (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reeves, S., Benford, S., O'Malley, C., & Fraser, M. Designing the spectator experience. Presented at SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI)

Interaction is increasingly a public affair, taking place in our theatres, galleries, museums, exhibitions and on the city streets. This raises a new design challenge for HCI, questioning how a performer s interaction with a computer experienced is b... Read More about Designing the spectator experience.

Camping in the digital wilderness: Tents and flashlights as interfaces to virtual worlds (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Green, J., Schnädelbach, H., Koleva, B., Benford, S., Pridmore, T., Medina, K., …Smith, H. (2001, April). Camping in the digital wilderness: Tents and flashlights as interfaces to virtual worlds. Paper presented at Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - Proceedings

A projection screen in the shape of a tent provides children with a shared immersive experience of a virtual world based on the metaphor of camping. RFID aerials at its entrances sense tagged children and objects as they enter and leave. Video tracki...

Three dimensional visualization of the World Wide Web (1999)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Taylor, I., Brailsford, D. F., Koleva, B., Craven, M. P., Fraser, M., …Greenhalgh, C. (1999). Three dimensional visualization of the World Wide Web. ACM Computing Surveys, 31(4es),

Although large-scale public hypermedia structures such as the World Wide Web are popularly referred to as "cyberspace", the extent to which they constitute a space in the everyday sense of the word is questionable. This paper reviews recent work in t... Read More about Three dimensional visualization of the World Wide Web.

Interaction, instruments and performance: HCI and the design of future music technologies
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chamberlain, A., Pestova, X., Bødker, M., Kallionpää, M., De Roure, D., & Benford, S. (2017). Interaction, instruments and performance: HCI and the design of future music technologies.

Rationale
There has been little chance for researchers, performers and designers in the UK to come together in order to explore the use and design of new and evolving technologies for performance. This workshop examines the interplay between people,... Read More about Interaction, instruments and performance: HCI and the design of future music technologies.

Re-tracing the past: mixing realities in museum settings
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fraser, M., Bowers, J., Brundell, P., O'Malley, C., Reeves, S., Benford, S., …Hellström, S. O. Re-tracing the past: mixing realities in museum settings.

Interactive exhibits are now commonplace in museum settings, providing ‘edutainment’ for visitors. However, many technologies co-exist uneasily with more traditional methods of display. In this paper we describe a design strategy for mixing realities... Read More about Re-tracing the past: mixing realities in museum settings.

ArtMaps: Interpreting the spatial footprints of artworks
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coughlan, T., Carletti, L., Giannachi, G., Benford, S., McAuley, D., Price, D., Locatelli, C., Sinker, R., & Stack, J. (2015, April). ArtMaps: Interpreting the spatial footprints of artworks. Presented at Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - Proceedings, Seoul, Rebublic of Korea

© Copyright 2015 ACM. Creating and utilizing simple links between items and locations in map-based systems has become a mainstream component of modern computing. In this paper, we explore support for 'art mapping', an activity that requires considera... Read More about ArtMaps: Interpreting the spatial footprints of artworks.
