A framework for differentiation in composed digital-physical products (2020)
Journal Article
Baumers, M., Ashcroft, I., Benford, S., Flintham, M., Koleva, B., Tóth, Z., & Winklhofer, H. (2020). A framework for differentiation in composed digital-physical products. International Journal of Mechatronics and Manufacturing Systems, 13(4), 286-298. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJMMS.2020.112351

Product-service systems (PSS) composed of physical products and digital services are emerging as an important new product category. In this paper we suggest that the established metaphor of 'layering' is insufficient to capture the diverse ways in wh...

Contesting control: journeys through surrender, self-awareness and looseness of control in embodied interaction (2020)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Ramchurn, R., Marshall, J., Wilson, M. L., Pike, M., Martindale, S., …Walker, B. (2021). Contesting control: journeys through surrender, self-awareness and looseness of control in embodied interaction. Human-Computer Interaction, 36(5-6), 361-389. https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.2020.1754214

As Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) engages with technologies that sense and actuate the body, there is a need to reconsider the human bodily experience. We present three case studies that each involve different forms of bodily experience: a breath-c...

Translations and Boundaries in the Gap Between HCI Theory and Design Practice (2020)
Journal Article
Velt, R., Benford, S., & Reeves, S. (2020). Translations and Boundaries in the Gap Between HCI Theory and Design Practice. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 27(4), 1-28. https://doi.org/10.1145/3386247

The gap between research and design practice has long been a concern for the HCI community. In this article, we explore how different translations of HCI knowledge might bridge this gap. A literature review characterizes the gap as having two key dim... Read More about Translations and Boundaries in the Gap Between HCI Theory and Design Practice.

From sharing to gifting: A web app for deepening engagement (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Adams, M., Spence, J., Clark, S., Farr, J. R., Benford, S., & Tandavanitj, N. (2020). From sharing to gifting: A web app for deepening engagement. In EVA London 2020: Electronic Visualisation & the Arts (48-49). https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/EVA2020.7

Visitors currently use social media to share their experiences in museums, but these interactions are often short, quick and superficial. Is it possible to transform the impulse to share into an act of generosity, deepening engagement with museum col... Read More about From sharing to gifting: A web app for deepening engagement.

Using Internet of Things to Reduce Office Workers’ Sedentary Behavior: Intervention Development Applying the Behavior Change Wheel and Human-Centered Design Approach (2020)
Journal Article
Huang, Y., Benford, S., Price, D., Patel, R., Li, B., Ivanov, A., & Blake, H. (2020). Using Internet of Things to Reduce Office Workers’ Sedentary Behavior: Intervention Development Applying the Behavior Change Wheel and Human-Centered Design Approach. JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 8(7), Article e17914. https://doi.org/10.2196/17914

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with various adverse health outcomes. The prevalence of prolonged sitting at work among office workers makes a case for SB interventions to target this setting and population. Everyday mundane objects...
