The art and ‘science’ of opera: composing, staging & designing new forms of interactive theatrical performance (2017)
Conference Proceeding

New technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR), Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are steadily having an impact upon the world of opera. The evolving use of performance-based software such as Ableton Live and Max/MSP has created new and excit...

Recognizing the Presence of Hidden Visual Markers in Digital Images (2017)
Conference Proceeding

As the promise of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR and AR) becomes more realistic, an interesting aspect of our enhanced living environment includes the availability — indeed the potential ubiquity — of scannable markers. Such markers could represen... Read More about Recognizing the Presence of Hidden Visual Markers in Digital Images.

Enabling hand-crafted visual markers at scale (2017)
Conference Proceeding

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.

The Rough Mile: Testing a Framework of Immersive Practice (2017)
Conference Proceeding

We present our case study on gifting digital music, The Rough Mile, as an example of a Framework of Immersive Practice, intended for researchers and practitioners in HCI and interaction design. Although immersion is a frequently used term in the HCI... Read More about The Rough Mile: Testing a Framework of Immersive Practice.

The challenges of visual-kinaesthetic experience (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Composing and realising a game-like performance for disklavier and electronics (2017)
Conference Proceeding

“Climb!” is a musical composition that combines the ideas of a classical virtuoso piece and a computer game. We present a case study of the composition process and realization of “Climb!”, written for Disklavier and a digital interactive engine, whic...

Building a maker community around an open hardware platform (2017)
Conference Proceeding

This paper reflects on the dynamics and practices of building a maker community around a new hardware platform. We ex- amine the factors promoting the successful uptake of a maker platform from two perspectives: first, we investigate the tech- nical...

Playing fast and loose with music recognition (2017)
Conference Proceeding

We report lessons from iteratively developing a music recognition system to enable a wide range of musicians to embed musical codes into their typical performance practice. The musician composes fragments of music that can be played back with varying... Read More about Playing fast and loose with music recognition.

A survey of the trajectories conceptual framework: Investigating theory use in HCI (2017)
Conference Proceeding

We present a case study of how Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) theory is reused within the field. We analyze the HCI literature in order to reveal the impact of one particular theory, the trajectories framework that has been cited as an example of b...

"It's not yet a gift": Understanding digital gifting (2017)
Conference Proceeding

A myriad of digital artifacts are routinely exchanged online. While previous studies suggest that these are sometimes considered to be gifts, CSCW has largely overlooked explicit digital gifting where people deliberately choose to give digital media...

"They're all going out to something weird": Workflow, legacy and metadata in the music production process (2017)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we use results from two ethnographic studies of the music production process to examine some key issues regarding how work is currently accomplished in studio production environments. These issues relate in particular to workflows and h... Read More about "They're all going out to something weird": Workflow, legacy and metadata in the music production process.
