Customizing hybrid products (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Benford, S., Koleva, B., Preston, W., Angus, A., Thorn, E., & Glover, K. (2018). Customizing hybrid products. In CHI '18 Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (1–12). https://doi.org/10.1145/3173574.3173604

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.

Accountable artefacts: The case of the Carolan Guitar (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Benford, S., Hazzard, A., Chamberlain, A., Glover, K., Greenhalgh, C., Xu, L., …Darzentas, D. (2016). Accountable artefacts: The case of the Carolan Guitar. In CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (1163-1175). https://doi.org/10.1145/2858036.2858306

We explore how physical artefacts can be connected to digital records of where they have been, who they have encountered and what has happened to them, and how this can enhance their meaning and utility. We describe how a travelling technology probe... Read More about Accountable artefacts: The case of the Carolan Guitar.

Displaying locality: connecting with customers and visitors in-situ via their mobile devices (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Greenhalgh, C., Chamberlain, A., Davies, M., Glover, K., Valchovska, S., & Crabtree, A. (2014). Displaying locality: connecting with customers and visitors in-situ via their mobile devices. In PerDis '14 Proceedings of The International Symposium on Pervasive Displaysdoi:10.1145/2611009.2611021

A large and growing proportion of the general population in the UK and similar nations routinely carry smart phones and access the Internet while on the go. However, especially in rural areas, mobile Internet access can be intermittent and slow, and...

Placebooks: Participation, Community, Design, and Ubiquitous Data Aggregation ‘In the Wild’ (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Chamberlain, A., Crabtree, A., Davies, M., Glover, K., Reeves, S., Tolmie, P., & Jones, M. (2013). Placebooks: Participation, Community, Design, and Ubiquitous Data Aggregation ‘In the Wild’. In Human Interface and the Management of Information. Information and Interaction Design; Lecture Notes in Computer Science (411-420). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-39209-2_47

This paper outlines and describes the development of a multi-media data aggregation system called Placebooks. Placebooks was developed as a ubiquitous toolkit aimed at allowing people in rural areas to create and share digital books that contained a...

Using adaptive architecture to probe attitudes towards ubiquitous monitoring (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Moran, S., Jaeger, N., Schnadelbach, H., & Glover, K. (2013). Using adaptive architecture to probe attitudes towards ubiquitous monitoring. https://doi.org/10.1109/istas.2013.6613100

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.

Rural Enterprise as an Agent for Technology Development and Facilitation in the Digital Economy
Conference Proceeding
Valchovska, S., Chamberlain, A., Crabtree, A., Greenhalgh, C., Davies, M., Glover, K., & Rodden, T. Rural Enterprise as an Agent for Technology Development and Facilitation in the Digital Economy.

This paper outlines recent developments in the Scaling the Rural Enterprise (SRE) research project – an interdisciplinary project that combines the expertise of social scientists, computer scientists and software developers, in order to inform the de...
