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...

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.

The Challenges of Using Biodata in Promotional Filmmaking (2015)
Journal Article
Reeves, S., Martindale, S., Tennent, P., Benford, S., Marshall, J., & Walker, B. (2015). The Challenges of Using Biodata in Promotional Filmmaking. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 22(3), 1-26. https://doi.org/10.1145/2699758

© 2015 ACM. We present a study of how filmmakers collected and visualized physiological data - "biodata" - to construct a series of short promotional films depicting people undergoing "thrilling" experiences. Drawing on ethnographic studies of two ma... Read More about The Challenges of Using Biodata in Promotional Filmmaking.

Magnetic field swimmer positioning (2015)
Journal Article
Marshall, J. (2015). Magnetic field swimmer positioning. IEEE Sensors Journal, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1109/JSEN.2014.2339400

Several projects have tracked the movement of swimmers in pools using body worn inertial measurement units. In swimming, inertial sensing is subject to large amounts of drift and accumulated error which can only be corrected for after a complete leng... Read More about Magnetic field swimmer positioning.

Performance-Led Research in the Wild (2013)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Adams, M., Tandavanitj, N., Row Farr, J., Greenhalgh, C., Crabtree, A., …Giannachi, G. (2013). Performance-Led Research in the Wild. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 20(3), 1-22. https://doi.org/10.1145/2491500.2491502

We explore the approach of performance-led research in the wild in which artists drive the creation of novel performances with the support of HCI researchers that are then deployed and studied at public performance in cultural settings such as galler...
