“…However, in recent years researchers have been endeavouring to investigate these interactions from an animal-centred perspective [51]. Indeed, Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI) aims to re-frame the interaction between animals and technology, through the design of user-centered interactive systems for animals, which can improve their welfare, support their activities and foster inter-species relations; and, crucially, through the development of animal-centered methods, which can enable animals to participate in the design process as legitimate stakeholders and contributors [54]. In this regard, the challenges faced by CCI researchers and practitioners are amplified manifolds in ACI research and practice, due to the staggering diversity of potential nonhuman animal users and design participants.…”

Participatory Design strives to open up the decision-making process and empower all those who may be affected by design. This is opposed to Design as a non-participatory process, in which the power to make decisions is vested in the hands of one group to the possible detriment of others. In this paper we interrogate the nature, possibilities and limitations of Participatory Design through the perspective of Child Computer Interaction (CCI) and Animal Computer Interaction (ACI). Due to the cognitive and communication characteristics, and to the social and legal status of their participants, researchers in these communities have to contend with and challenge existing notions of participation and design. Thus, their theories and practices provide a lens through which the nature and goals of Participatory Design can be examined with a view to facilitating the development of more inclusive participatory models and practices.

“…Mancini and colleagues propose a role for ACI in sustainable food production, identifying the opportunity for approaches and interaction mechanisms which allow farm animals to participate in the design of more environmentallysound agricultural practices (Mancini, 2013). Recent work has further investigated this proposition, examining how the familiar design tool of personas might be adapted to represent animals as stakeholders to farming processes (Frawley and Dyson, 2014).…”

“…However, ACI still relies heavily on making itself "consistent with a user-centred and participant-centred perspective" [22], merely placing animals at the centre of design decisions instead of humans. is means that, despite some claims ACI will be useful for achieving sustainability goals [21], it will likely be an equally problematic design approach to HCD. In short, whilst ACI o ers valuable insights-particularly in terms of arguing the importance of ethics for non-human research participants-it is equally unable to solely help us reimagine HCD's relationship with objects and earth's biophysical systems.…”

Human-centred design (HCD) is just that: human-centred. As we approach the limits of Earth's biophysical systems, it no longer feels appropriate to place humans at the centre of design decisions. Yet HCD and its ISO-ISO-9241-210:2010-continue to be powerful and popular tools within many computing and design departments, as well as in their a liated industries. ese design approaches are perpetuating the trend of incremental improvements to the living standards of the already privileged and digitally connected whilst ignoring the broader environmental and socio-political e ects of digital technologies. In this paper, we a empt to reimagine HCD and its ISO by drawing on elds and concepts such as sustainable interaction design (SID), animal-computer interaction (ACI), and object oriented ontology (OOO). rough this, we contribute a preliminary set of proposals about what needs to change with HCD and its ISO. We close by discussing the ISO development process and suggesting routes for environmentally concerned researchers to in uence the evolution of HCD's ISO.
