Reflections on RRI in “TAS for Health at Home” (2022)
Journal Article
Jäger, N., Dowthwaite, L., Barnard, P., Hughes, A.-M., das Nair, R., Crepaz-Keay, D., Cobb, S., Lang, A., Vayani, F., & Benford, S. (2022). Reflections on RRI in “TAS for Health at Home”. Journal of Responsible Technology, 12, Article 100049. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jrt.2022.100049

We reflect on our experiences using Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the project “TAS for Health at Home”. Driven by a multi-disciplinary research team that consisted of experts in mental health, stroke rehabilitation, management of multi... Read More about Reflections on RRI in “TAS for Health at Home”.

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...

The Performative Mirror Space (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jacobs, R., Schnadelbach, H., Jaeger, N., Leal, S., Shackford, R., Benford, S., & Patel, R. (2019, May). The Performative Mirror Space. Presented at CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Interactive mirrors, typically combining semi-transparent mirrors, digital screens and interaction mechanisms have been developed for a variety of application areas. Drawing on existing techniques to create interactive mirror spaces, we investigated... Read More about The Performative Mirror Space.

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.

You’ll never walk alone: designing a location-based soundtrack (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hazzard, A., Benford, S., & Burnett, G. You’ll never walk alone: designing a location-based soundtrack. Presented at 14th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Musical soundtracks have great potential to enhance mobile walking experiences such as tours and guides, much as they already do for films and games. They also raise new challenges for composers as the music must fit a given landscape and respond to... Read More about You’ll never walk alone: designing a location-based soundtrack.

Broadcasting On-Line Social Interaction as Inhabited Television (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S., Greenhalgh, C., Craven, M., Walker, G., Regan, T., Morphett, J., Wyver, J., & Bowers, J. (1999, September). Broadcasting On-Line Social Interaction as Inhabited Television. Presented at Sixth European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Copenhagen, Denmark

Inhabited TV combines collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) with broadcast TV so that on-line audiences can participate in TV shows within shared virtual worlds. Three early experiments with inhabited TV raised fundamental questions concerning th... Read More about Broadcasting On-Line Social Interaction as Inhabited Television.

Patterns of network and user activity in an inhabited television event (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Greenhalgh, C., Benford, S., & Craven, M. (1999, December). Patterns of network and user activity in an inhabited television event. Presented at ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology, Proceedings, VRST, London, UK

Inhabited Television takes traditional broadcast television and combines it with multiuser virtual reality, to give new possibilities for interaction and participation in and around shows or channels. 'Out Of This World' was an experimental inhabited... Read More about Patterns of network and user activity in an inhabited television event.
