I'd Hide You: Performing Live Broadcasting in Public (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reeves, S., Greiffenhagen, C., Flintham, M., Benford, S., Adams, M., Farr, J. R., & Tandavantij, N. (2015, April). I'd Hide You: Performing Live Broadcasting in Public. Presented at CHI '15: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Seoul, Republic of Korea

We present a study of a mixed reality game called 'I'd Hide You' that involves live video streaming from the city streets. We chart the significant challenges facing performers on the streets who must simultaneously engage in the game, stream compell...

Exploring the Relationship between Location and Behaviour in Out of Hours Hospital Care (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brown, M., Pinchin, J., Blum, J., Sharples, S., Shaw, D., Housley, G., Howard, S., Jackson, S., Flintham, M., Benning, K., & Blakey, J. (2014, June). Exploring the Relationship between Location and Behaviour in Out of Hours Hospital Care

'Out of Hours' (OoH) hospital care involves a small number of doctors covering a very large number of patients. These doctors are working in stressful environments, performing complex tasks and making difficult task prioritisation decisions, yet litt...

ERiSA: building emotionally realistic social game-agents companions (2014)
Journal Article
Chowanda, A., Blanchfield, P., Flintham, M. D., & Valstar, M. (in press). ERiSA: building emotionally realistic social game-agents companions. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 8637, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-09767-1_16

We propose an integrated framework for social and emotional game-agents to enhance their believability and quality of interaction, in particular by allowing an agent to forge social relations and make appropriate use of social signals. The framework... Read More about ERiSA: building emotionally realistic social game-agents companions.

The Malthusian Paradox: performance in an alternate reality game (2014)
Journal Article
Evans, E., Flintham, M., & Martindale, S. (2014). The Malthusian Paradox: performance in an alternate reality game. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 18(7), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-014-0762-7

The Malthusian Paradox is a transmedia alternate reality game (ARG) created by artists Dominic Shaw and Adam Sporne played by 300 participants over three months. We explore the design of the game, which cast players as agents of a radical organisatio... Read More about The Malthusian Paradox: performance in an alternate reality game.

Understanding mass participatory pervasive computing systems for environmental campaigns (2013)
Journal Article
Chamberlain, A., Paxton, M., Glover, K., Flintham, M., Price, D., Benford, S., Tolmie, P., Kanjo, E., Gower, A., Gower, A., Woodgate, D., Stanton Fraser, D., & Greenhalgh, C. (2014). Understanding mass participatory pervasive computing systems for environmental campaigns. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 18(7), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-013-0756-x

Participate was a 3-year collaboration between industry and academia to explore how mobile, Web and broadcast technologies could combine to deliver environ- mental campaigns. In a series of pilot projects, schools used mobile sensors to enhance scien... Read More about Understanding mass participatory pervasive computing systems for environmental campaigns.

Performance-Led Research in the Wild (2013)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Adams, M., Tandavanitj, N., Row Farr, J., Greenhalgh, C., Crabtree, A., Flintham, M., Walker, B., Marshall, J., Koleva, B., Rennick Egglestone, S., & 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...

Locating experience: touring a pervasive performance (2011)
Journal Article
Chamberlain, A., Oppermann, L., Flintham, M., Benford, S., Tolmie, P., Adams, M., Row Farr, J., Tandavanitj, N., Marshall, J., & Rodden, T. (2011). Locating experience: touring a pervasive performance. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 15, 717–730. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-010-0351-3

Touring location-based experiences is chal- lenging, as both content and underlying location services must be adapted to each new setting. A study of a touring performance called Rider Spoke as it visited three different cities reveals how profession... Read More about Locating experience: touring a pervasive performance.

The multimedia challenges raised by pervasive games (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Capra, M., Radenkovic, M., Benford, S., Oppermann, L., Drozd, A., & Flintham, M. The multimedia challenges raised by pervasive games. Presented at 13th Annual ACM International Conference on Multimedia (MULTIMEDIA '05)

Pervasive gaming is a new form of multimedia entertainment that extends the traditional computer gaming experience out into the real world. Through a combination of personal devices, positioning systems and other multimedia sensors, combined with wir... Read More about The multimedia challenges raised by pervasive games.

Applications of temporal links: recording and replaying virtual environments (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Greenhalgh, C., Flintham, M., Purbrick, J., Benford, S., & Craven, M. (2002, March). Applications of temporal links: recording and replaying virtual environments. Presented at IEEE Virtual Reality 2002 (VR '02), Orlando, FL, USA

Temporal links allow recordings of multi-user sessions to be dynamically inserted into current virtual worlds in a flexible and principled way. We explore key applications of temporal links, showing how they can add new content to virtual worlds, sup...

Computational models of emotion, personality, and social relationships for interactions in games
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chowanda, A., Blanchfield, P., Flintham, M., & Valstar, M. Computational models of emotion, personality, and social relationships for interactions in games. Presented at 2016 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems

We present a novel computational model of emotion, personality and social relationships, implemented and evaluated in an existing commercial game (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim). We argue that Non Player Characters (NPCs) with such capabilities will ac... Read More about Computational models of emotion, personality, and social relationships for interactions in games.
