“…Our outcomes also highlight the importance of the gut especially for internal senses of digestion and metabolization, and subsequently as a novel site for HFI. Unlike the sensations in the mouth, those from inside the body are less accessible, although people can recognize and learn to understand them [5,72]. Findings from experiential phenomenology identified the importance of the body and especially the gut for intuitive feelings [71] which may be brought into awareness as the "felt sense" through Gendlin's focusing method [60].…”

“…By focusing on eating experiences we wish to uncover more on the role of the body, and how it can be better leveraged within the design process. Food of course is also essential in the broader context, since eating experiences are often part of rich social and cultural practices, both mundane and celebratory [5]. Thus, our work also considers such socio-cultural aspects, albeit not by themselves, but insofar as they support the eating experiences per sei.…”

Embedded in everyday practices, food can be a rich resource for interaction design. This article focuses on eating experiences to uncover how bodily, sensory, and socio-cultural aspects of eating can be better leveraged for the design of user experience. We report a systematic literature review of 109 papers, and interviews with 18 professional chefs, providing new understandings of prior HFI research, as well as how professional chefs creatively design eating experiences. The findings inform a conceptual framework of designing for user experience leveraging eating experiences. These findings also inform implications for HFI design suggesting the value of multisensory flavor experiences, external and internal sensory stimulation and deprivation, aspects of eating for communicating meaning, and designing with contrasting pleasurable and uncomfortable experiences. The article concludes with six charts as novel generative design tools for HFI experiences focused on sensory, emotional, communicative, performative, and temporal experiences.

“…Outside CHI, related conferences and associated events have also experienced workshops and similar activities around the topic of food or eating, some of them run by organizers of this workshop. This includes workshops at ICMI [35,36,[48][49][50], DIS [18,19,47], UbiComp'13 and '14 [14], CHI Play'19 [6], EFOOD'19 [1] and at IDC'20 [10].…”

There is an increasing interest in food within the HCI discipline, with many interactive prototypes emerging that augment, extend and challenge the various ways people engage with food, ranging from growing plants, cooking ingredients, serving dishes and eating together. Grounding theory is also emerging that in particular draws from embodied interactions, highlighting the need to consider not only instrumental, but also experiential factors specific to human-food interactions. Considering this, we are provided with an opportunity to extend human-food interactions through knowledge gained from designing novel systems emerging through technical advances. This workshop aims to explore the possibility of bringing practitioners, researchers and theorists together to discuss the future of human-food interaction with a particular highlight on the design of experiential aspects of human-food interactions beyond the instrumental. This workshop extends prior community building efforts in this area and hence explicitly invites submissions concerning the empirically-informed knowledge of how technologies can enrich eating experiences. In doing so, people will benefit not only from new technologies around food, but also incorporate the many rich benefits that are associated with eating, especially when eating with others.

“…In this paper, we focus on four food-oriented workshops held at DIS, CHI and CHI Play [6,11,14,32]. We introduce the workshop backgrounds and participants, and follow with a detailed overview of six distinct areas of experimental food design methods and approaches deployed at the workshops.…”

“…Our findings will thus appeal to design research practitioners interested in food as a research theme or as a design material that enables diverse co-creative and sustainable engagements. [6,11,14,32]. The workshops brought together design researchers, artists, practitioners, and thinkers keen on exploring the diverse roles of technology innovation in everyday food practices.…”

Digital technology has become a frequent companion of daily food practices, shaping the ways we produce, consume, and interact with food. Smart kitchenware, diet tracking apps, and other techno-solutions carry promise for healthy and sustainable food futures but are often problematic in their impact on food cultures. We conducted four Human-Food Interaction (HFI) workshops to reflect on and anticipate food-tech issues, using experimental food design co-creation as our primary method. At the workshops, food and food practices served as the central research theme and accessible starting point to engage stakeholders and explore values, desires, and imaginaries associated with food-tech. Drawing on these explorations, we discuss diverse roles that experimental design cocreation, performed with and around food, can play in supporting critical, interdisciplinary HFI inquiries. Our findings will appeal to design researchers interested in food as a research theme or as a tangible (and compostable!) design material affording diverse co-creative engagements.
