Schneiders, E., Chamberlain, A., Fischer, J. E., Benford, S., Castle-Green, S., Ngo, V., Kucukyilmaz, A., Barnard, P., Row Farr, J., Adams, M., Tandavanitj, N., Devlin, K., Mancini, C., & Mills, D. (2023, July). TAS for Cats: An Artist-led Exploration of Trustworthy Autonomous Systems for Companion Animals. Presented at First International Symposium on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS 23), Edinburgh, UK

Cat Royale is an artist-led exploration of trustworthy autonomous systems (TAS) created by the TAS Hub's creative ambassadors Blast Theory. A small community of cats inhabits a purpose built 'cat utopia' at the centre of which a robot arm tries to en...

Mediated Visits: Longitudinal Domestic Dwelling with Mobile Robotic Telepresence (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Boudouraki, A., Reeves, S., Fischer, J. E., & Rintel, S. (2022, April). Mediated Visits: Longitudinal Domestic Dwelling with Mobile Robotic Telepresence. Presented at CHI '22: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, New Orleans LA USA

Mobile Robotic Telepresence (MRP) systems are remotely controlled, mobile videoconferencing devices that allow the remote user to move independently and have a physical presence in the environment. This paper presents a longitudinal study of MRP use... Read More about Mediated Visits: Longitudinal Domestic Dwelling with Mobile Robotic Telepresence.

Demonstrating Interaction: The Case of Assistive Technology (2022)
Journal Article
Reyes-Cruz, G., Fischer, J. E., & Reeves, S. (2022). Demonstrating Interaction: The Case of Assistive Technology. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 29(5), 1-37. https://doi.org/10.1145/3514236

Technology "demos"have become a staple in technology design practice, especially for showcasing prototypes or systems. However, demonstrations are also commonplace and multifaceted phenomena in everyday life, and thus have found their way into empiri...

Reframing Disability as Competency: Unpacking Everyday Technology Practices of People with Visual Impairments (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reyes-Cruz, G., Fischer, J. E., & Reeves, S. (2020, April). Reframing Disability as Competency: Unpacking Everyday Technology Practices of People with Visual Impairments. Presented at CHI '20: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Honolulu HI USA

More than a billion people in the world live with some form of visual impairment, and a wide variety of technologies are now routinely used by them in the course of 'getting on' in everyday life. However, little is known about the ways in which assis... Read More about Reframing Disability as Competency: Unpacking Everyday Technology Practices of People with Visual Impairments.

Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fuentes, C., Porcheron, M., Fischer, J. E., Costanza, E., Malik, O., & Ramchurn, S. D. (2019, May). Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials. Presented at CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Glasgow, Scotland Uk

Predictions of people's behaviour increasingly drive interactions with a new generation of IoT services designed to support everyday life in the home, from shopping to heating. Based on the premise that such automation is difficult due to the conting... Read More about Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials.

New Directions for the IoT: Automate, Share, Build, and Care (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fuentes, C., Porcheron, M., Fischer, J. E., Costanza, E., Verdezoto, N., Herskovic, V., Zuckerman, O., & Takayama, L. (2019, May). New Directions for the IoT: Automate, Share, Build, and Care. Presented at 2019 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (SIG CHI 2019), Glasgow, Scotland, UK

As the IoT is taking hold in the home, in healthcare, factories, and industry, new challenges and approaches arise for HCI research and design. For example, HCI is exploring agency delegation and automation to support the user in managing the deluge... Read More about New Directions for the IoT: Automate, Share, Build, and Care.
