Insights Into Legacy: Issues of Handover from a Partner-Initiated Project (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Thorn, E., Spence, J., Koleva, B., & Benford, S. D. (2024, May). Insights Into Legacy: Issues of Handover from a Partner-Initiated Project. Presented at CHI '24: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Honolulu HI USA

We report on a six-year collaboration with a small community organisation to develop and deploy a permanent physical / digital locative media experience as part on an ongoing community regeneration project. We describe how this unfolded over four pha... Read More about Insights Into Legacy: Issues of Handover from a Partner-Initiated Project.

Customizing hybrid products (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S., Koleva, B., Preston, W., Angus, A., Thorn, E.-C., & Glover, K. (2018, April). Customizing hybrid products. Presented at CHI 2018: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Montreal, QC, Canada

We explore how the convergence of the digital and physical into hybrid products leads to new possibilities for customization. We report on a technology probe, a hybrid advent calendar with both paper form and digital layers of content, both of which... Read More about Customizing hybrid products.

Enabling hand-crafted visual markers at scale (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Preston, W., Benford, S., Thorn, E.-C., Koleva, B., Rennick-Egglestone, S., Mortier, R., Quinn, A., Stell, J., & Worboys, M. (2017, June). Enabling hand-crafted visual markers at scale. Presented at ACM SIGCHI Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS '17)

As locative media and augmented reality spread into the everyday world so it becomes important to create aesthetic visual markers at scale. We explore a designer-centred approach in which skilled designers handcraft seed designs that are automaticall... Read More about Enabling hand-crafted visual markers at scale.

Exploring large-scale interactive public illustrations (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Thorn, E.-C., Rennick-Egglestone, S., Koleva, B., Preston, W., Benford, S., Quinn, A., & Mortier, R. Exploring large-scale interactive public illustrations. Presented at ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS 2016)

We present a research-through-design exploration of transforming large-scale public illustrations into interactive media. We collaborated with creative practitioners to extend an existing visual marker technology to support spatial and layered inter...
