Spence, J., Bedwell, B., Coleman, M., Benford, S., Koleva, B. N., Adams, M., Farr, J. R., Tandavanitj, N., & Løvlie, A. S. (2019, May). Seeing with New Eyes: Designing for In-the-Wild Museum Gifting. Presented at CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

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.

Card Mapper: Enabling Data-Driven Reflections on Ideation Cards (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Darzentas, D., Velt, R., Wetzel, R., Craigon, P. J., Wagner, H. G., Urquhart, L. D., & Benford, S. (2019, May). Card Mapper: Enabling Data-Driven Reflections on Ideation Cards. Presented at 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '19), Glasgow, Scotland Uk

We explore how usage data captured from ideation cards can enable reflection on design. We deployed a deck of ideation cards on a Masters level module over two years, developing the means to capture the students’ designs into a digital repository. We...

Understanding validity of user behaviour in Virtual Environments (VEs) is critical as they are increasingly being used for serious Health and Safety applications such as predicting human behaviour and training in hazardous situations. This paper pres... Read More about The Heat is On: Exploring User Behaviour in a Multisensory Virtual Environment for Fire Evacuation.

Accessible Instruments in the Wild: Engaging with a Community of Learning-Disabled Musicians (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Harrison, J., Chamberlain, A., & McPherson, A. P. (2019, May). Accessible Instruments in the Wild: Engaging with a Community of Learning-Disabled Musicians. Presented at CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Glasgow, UK

Disabled people face many barriers to access in all areas of life, including creative expression. With music making, a lack of accessible instruments can be a major barrier, as well as environmental factors. The Strummi is an accessible instrument ba...

A convolutional neural network for fast upsampling of undersampled tomograms in X-ray CT time-series using a representative highly sampled tomogram (2019)
Journal Article
Bellos, D., Basham, M., Pridmore, T., & French, A. P. (2019). A convolutional neural network for fast upsampling of undersampled tomograms in X-ray CT time-series using a representative highly sampled tomogram. Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 26(3), 839-853. https://doi.org/10.1107/s1600577519003448

We designed a convolutional neural network to quickly and accurately upscale the sinograms of x-ray tomograms captured with a low number of projections; effectively increasing the number of projections. This is particularly useful for tomograms that...

International Journal of Medical Informatics, 127, 109-119. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2019.04.019

Background

The number of reported public sector information security incidents has significantly increased recently including 22% related to the UK health sector. Over two thirds of these incidents pertain to human error, but despite this, there a...
