The CHESS project has been working with Cité de l’espace, a space technology centre, to explore the use of tablets and mobile phones to deliver visitor experiences that integrate across multiple experiences. In this paper, we articulate three key cha... Read More about Indoors and outdoors: designing mobile experiences for Cité de l’espace.

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.

Abstract Machines: Overlaying Virtual Worlds on Physical Rides
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tennent, P., Marshall, J., Brundell, P., Walker, B., & Benford, S. (2019, May). Abstract Machines: Overlaying Virtual Worlds on Physical Rides. Presented at CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Overlaying virtual worlds onto existing physical rides and altering the sensations of motion can deliver new experiences of thrill, but designing how motion is mapped between physical ride and virtual world is challenging. In this paper , we present... Read More about Abstract Machines: Overlaying Virtual Worlds on Physical Rides.
