On Lions, Impala, and Bigraphs: Modelling Interactions in Physical/Virtual Spaces (2016)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Calder, M., Rodden, T., & Sevegnani, M. (2016). On Lions, Impala, and Bigraphs: Modelling Interactions in Physical/Virtual Spaces. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 23(2), Article 9. https://doi.org/10.1145/2882784

© 2016 ACM. While HCI has a long tradition of formally modelling task-based interactions with graphical user interfaces, there has been less progress in modelling emerging ubiquitous computing systems due in large part to their highly contextual natu...

Families and mobile devices in museums: designing for integrated experiences (2016)
Journal Article
Rennick-Egglestone, S., Brundell, P., Koleva, B., Roussou, M., Chaffardon, C., & Benford, S. (2016). Families and mobile devices in museums: designing for integrated experiences. Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage, 9(2), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1145/2891416

This paper presents an observational study of eight families engaging with a bespoke tablet experience produced for a space science centre. It documents the various ways in which family members orientate themselves to the usage of technology in this...

Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems (2016)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Benford, S., & Oliver, K. (in press). Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems. Behaviour and Information Technology, 35(10), https://doi.org/10.1080/0144929X.2016.1158317

Augmenting navigation systems with landmarks has been posited as a method of improving the effectiveness of the technology and enhancing drivers’ engagement with the environment. However, good navigational landmarks are both laborious to collect and... Read More about Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems.

Expanding exertion gaming (2016)
Journal Article
Marshall, J., Mueller, F. ‘., Benford, S., & Pijnappel, S. (in press). Expanding exertion gaming. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 90, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhcs.2016.02.003

While exertion games - digital games where the outcome is determined by physical exertion - are of growing interest in HCI, we believe the current health and fitness focus in the research of exertion games limits the opportunities this field has to o... Read More about Expanding exertion gaming.
