WABI: Facilitating Synchrony Between Inhabitants of Adaptive Architecture (2019)
Book Chapter
Jäger, N., Schnädelbach, H., Hale, J., Kirk, D., & Glover, K. (2019). WABI: Facilitating Synchrony Between Inhabitants of Adaptive Architecture. In People, Personal Data and the Built Environment (41-75). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-70875-1_3

We spend most of our lives in buildings where we interact with people that occupy the same space. A common and intuitive form of interaction with others is to synchronise our own behaviour with theirs, and such interpersonal synchrony can have variou...

Crafting Interactive Decoration (2017)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Koleva, B., Quinn, A., Thorn, E.-C., Glover, K., Preston, W., …Mortier, R. (2017). Crafting Interactive Decoration. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 24(4), 1-39. https://doi.org/10.1145/3058552

We explore the crafting of interactive decoration for everyday artefacts. This involves adorning them with decorative patterns that enhance their beauty while triggering digital interactions when scanned with cameras. These are realised using an exis...

Accountable artefacts: The case of the Carolan Guitar (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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.

"I’ve got a sheep with three legs if anybody wants it?’" - re-visioning the rural economy (2015)

Displaying locality: connecting with customers and visitors in-situ via their mobile devices (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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 Displays. https://doi.org/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...
