Audio technology and mobile human-computer interaction: from space and place, to social media, music, composition and creation (2017)
Journal Article
Chamberlain, A., Bødker, M., Hazzard, A., McGookin, D., De Roure, D., Willcox, P., & Papangelis, K. (2017). Audio technology and mobile human-computer interaction: from space and place, to social media, music, composition and creation. International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction, 9(4), https://doi.org/10.4018/IJMHCI.2017100103

Audio-based mobile technology is opening up a range of new interactive possibilities. This paper brings some of those possibilities to light by offering a range of perspectives based in this area. It is not only the technical systems that are develop...

The Rough Mile: Reframing Location Through Locative Audio (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Hazzard, A., Spence, J., Greenhalgh, C., & McGrath, S. (2017). The Rough Mile: Reframing Location Through Locative Audio. In AM '17: Proceedings of the 12th International Audio Mostly Conference on Augmented and Participatory Sound and Music Experiences (1-8). https://doi.org/10.1145/3123514.3123540

We chart the design and deployment of The Rough Mile: a multi-layered locative audio walk that blends pre-recorded spoken word, original music, and ambient environmental sound with real-time external ambient sound by employing bone conduction headpho...

Crafting Interactive Decoration (2017)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Koleva, B., Quinn, A., Thorn, E., Glover, K., Preston, W., …Mortier, R. (2017). Crafting Interactive Decoration. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 24(4), 1-39. https://doi.org/10.1145/3058552

We explore the crafting of interactive decoration for everyday artefacts. This involves adorning them with decorative patterns that enhance their beauty while triggering digital interactions when scanned with cameras. These are realised using an exis...

The Rough Mile: Testing a Framework of Immersive Practice (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Spence, J., Hazzard, A., McGrath, S., Greenhalgh, C., & Benford, S. (2017). The Rough Mile: Testing a Framework of Immersive Practice. In Proceedings of the 2017 Conference on Designing Interactive Systems - DIS '17 (877-888). https://doi.org/10.1145/3064663.3064756

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.

Composing and realising a game-like performance for disklavier and electronics (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Kallionpää, M., Greenhalgh, C., Hazzard, A., Weigl, D. M., Page, K. R., & Benford, S. (2017). Composing and realising a game-like performance for disklavier and electronics.

“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...

Playing fast and loose with music recognition (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Greenhalgh, C., Benford, S., Hazzard, A., & Chamberlain, A. (2017). Playing fast and loose with music recognition.

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.
