“…Besides its artistic merit, the study revealed that confrontation with an ethically challenging technology helped people recognize the need to understand the usage and sharing of personal data by companies. Yet, while the value of artistic representations has proven to benefit audience engagement [33,47], we believe it is equally important to stimulate discussion about ethics by provoking response through design-oriented objects that reflect real-life application scenarios and that exemplify prob-lematic aspects of an emerging technology. Enabling the public to walk up to a realistic demonstrator that blends in with its environment, to interact with it, and to experience individual implications seems a relevant approach to collect ecologically valid feedback on ethical use of emerging technologies.…”

Facial analysis applications are increasingly being applied to inform decision-making processes. However, as global reports of unfairness emerge, governments, academia and industry have recognized the ethical limitations and societal implications of this technology. Alongside initiatives that aim to formulate ethical frameworks, we believe that the public should be invited to participate in the debate. In this paper, we discuss Biometric Mirror, a case study that explored opinions about the ethics of an emerging technology. The interactive application distinguished demographic and psychometric information from people's facial photos and presented speculative scenarios with potential consequences based on their results. We analyzed the interactions with Biometric Mirror and media reports covering the study. Our findings demonstrate the nature of public opinion about the technology's possibilities, reliability, and privacy implications. Our study indicates an opportunity for case study-based digital ethics research, and we provide practical guidelines for designing future studies.

“…We also direct the reader to the substantial body of work led by Steve Benford's team at the Mixed Reality Laboratory. Through longstanding collaboration with mixed-reality artist group Blast Theory, Benford et al have extensively used forms of interactive moving images in combination with interactive/immersive elements to explore social interactions between performers, participants and audiences in public space [1,4,8,9,10]. Wiliamson and Williamson conducted an exploration of evaluation methods for publicly situated research in the wild [14], focussing specifically on how evaluator intervention influences the nature of research.…”

Performance can be combined with interactive, online and immersive video as a way of conducting research in the wild. This affords the researcher opportunities to engage with participants in a way that can be surprisingly intimate, reactive to live intervention, and scaffolded by aesthetic content in order to shape how participants engage with the research context. It does, however, pose particular challenges with regards to evaluation practices, challenges which vary depending upon whether the researcher favours more traditional methods such as participant interviews, covert or overt observation or quantitative analysis, or whether s/he functions as a participant in the shared experience enabling him/her to explore the engagement in an autoethnographic, self-situated way.

“…Traditional cultural environments, such as museums, have not been exempted from this trend. [Jacobs et al, 2015] [ Vancat and Riha, 2012] For instance Gonz ález, Organero and Kloos [Gonz ález et al, 2008] 0:4 Nilsson et al attempted to find the best way of utilizing ubiquitous computing to develop an infrastructure for innovative learning spaces. They concluded that, much due to their versatility, mobile phones will in the near future be able to support all the different types of processes needed in learning scenarios.…”

The application of mobile computing is currently altering patterns of our behavior to a greater degree than perhaps any other invention. In combination with the introduction of power efficient wireless communication technologies, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), designers are today increasingly empowered to shape the way we interact with our physical surroundings and thus build entirely new experiences. However, our evaluations of BLE and its abilities to facilitate mobile location-based experiences in public environments revealed a number of potential problems. Most notably, the position and orientation of the user in combination with various environmental factors, such as crowds of people traversing the space, were found to cause major fluctuations of the received BLE signal strength. These issues are rendering a seamless functioning of any location-based application practically impossible. Instead of achieving seamlessness by eliminating these technical issues, we thus choose to advocate the use of a seamful approach, i.e. to reveal and exploit these problems and turn them into a part of the actual experience. In order to demonstrate the viability of this approach, we designed, implemented and evaluated the Ghost Detector -an educational location-based museum game for children. By presenting a qualitative evaluation of this game and by motivating our design decisions, this paper provides insight into some of the challenges and possible solutions connected to the process of developing location-based BLE-enabled experiences for public cultural spaces.
