Conference Proceeding
Darzentas, D., Flintham, M., & Benford, S. (2018). Object-focused mixed reality storytelling: technology-driven content creation and dissemination for engaging user experiences. In PCI '18: Proceedings of the 22nd Pan-Hellenic Conference on Informatics (278-281). https://doi.org/10.1145/3291533.3291588

In this paper we present the creation and deployment of a concerted set of Mixed Reality Technologies designed for creating engaging public experiences and enhanced storytelling opportunities focused on artefacts. Under the title of the Mixed Reality... Read More about Object-focused mixed reality storytelling: technology-driven content creation and dissemination for engaging user experiences.

An AI-based design framework to support musicians' practices (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Martinez-Avila, J., Hazzard, A., Chamberlain, A., Greenhalgh, C., & Benford, S. (2018). An AI-based design framework to support musicians' practices. In AM '18: Proceedings of the Audio Mostly 2018 on Sound in Immersion and Emotion (1–5). https://doi.org/10.1145/3243274.3275381

The practice of working musicians extends beyond the act of performing musical works at a concert. Rather, a significant degree of individual and collaborative preparation is necessitated prior to the moment of presentation to an audience. Increasing...

Deepening Visitor Engagement with Museum Exhibits through Hand-crafted Visual Markers (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Ali, S., Koleva, B., Bedwell, B., & Benford, S. (2018). Deepening Visitor Engagement with Museum Exhibits through Hand-crafted Visual Markers. In Proceedings of the 2018 on Designing Interactive Systems Conference 2018 - DIS '18 (523-534). https://doi.org/10.1145/3196709.3196786

Visual markers, in particular QR codes, have become widely adopted in museums to enable low cost interactive applications. However, visitors often do not engage with them. In this paper we explore the application of visual makers that can be designed... Read More about Deepening Visitor Engagement with Museum Exhibits through Hand-crafted Visual Markers.

Enhancing supervised classifications with metamorphic relations (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Xu, L., Towey, D., French, A. P., Benford, S., Zhou, Z. Q., & Chen, T. Y. (2018). Enhancing supervised classifications with metamorphic relations. In MET '18: Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Metamorphic Testing (46-53). https://doi.org/10.1145/3193977.3193978

We report on a novel use of metamorphic relations (MRs) in machine learning: instead of conducting metamorphic testing, we use MRs for the augmentation of the machine learning algorithms themselves. In particular, we report on how MRs can enable enha... Read More about Enhancing supervised classifications with metamorphic relations.

Designing the Audience Journey through Repeated Experiences (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Benford, S., Greenhalgh, C., Hazzard, A., Chamberlain, A., Kallionpää, M., Weigl, D. M., …Lin, M. (2018). Designing the Audience Journey through Repeated Experiences. In CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (1-12). https://doi.org/10.1145/3173574.3174142

We report on the design, premiere and public evaluation of a multifaceted audience interface for a complex non-linear musical performance called Climb! which is particularly suited to being experienced more than once. This interface is designed to en... Read More about Designing the Audience Journey through Repeated Experiences.

#Scanners 2 – The MOMENT: a new brain-controlled movie (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Ramchurn, R., Wilson, M. L., Martindale, S., & Benford, S. (2018). #Scanners 2 – The MOMENT: a new brain-controlled movie. In CHI EA '18: Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (1–4). https://doi.org/10.1145/3170427.3186481

While many still consider interactive movies an unrealistic idea, current delivery platforms like Netflix, commercial VR, and the proliferation of wearable sensors mean that adaptive and responsive entertainment experiences are an immediate reality....

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.
