“…In addition, we found the need for better tools to support non-verbal communication as cues were not satisfactorily translated with video-mediated solutions; for instance, missing eye contact led to feeling social disconnection. This suggests the potential to investigate the integration of emerging input/output devices that could augment the player experience, e.g., gaze interaction to provide the experience of playing together and social presence [21,25], or haptic props to provide social affective communication [23,24]. Moreover, we see opportunities to explore the use of novel game interfaces with better remote spatial affordances, for example, the use of shape-changing interfaces [33] that could adopt the shape of the game space at different remote locations (e.g., [10]).…”

Playing games with friends and family provided a way to stay connected and deal with isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.However, restrictions introduced to co-located events affected how both regular and casual players scheduled, organised, participated and engaged with various games. Through an online survey, we aimed to gain preliminary insights into how the swift switch from physical to remote play -forced by the circumstances -impacted the gameplay experiences and how different players potentially changed their playing habits. Our preliminary results suggest that computer-mediated communication systems successfully allowed the translation of co-located game sessions, but also highlight the emergence of different points of player friction during remote game experiences, e.g., the tediousness of scheduling and setup, miscommunication or playmates' wellbeing. We discuss future research and design opportunities that explore the potential to augment social game experiences at a distance and debate the future of remote or hybrid play.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI).

This paper presents theoretical and empirical results about user-defined gesture preferences for squeezable objects by focusing on a particular object: a deformable cushion. We start with a theoretical analysis of potential gestures for this squeezable object by defining a multi-dimension taxonomy of squeeze gestures composed of 82 gesture classes. We then empirically analyze the results of a gesture elicitation study resulting in a set of N=32 participants X 21 referents = 672 elicited gestures, further classified into 26 gesture classes. We also contribute to the practice of gesture elicitation studies by explaining why we started from a theoretical analysis (by systematically exploring a design space of potential squeeze gestures) to end up with an empirical analysis (by conducting a gesture elicitation study afterward): the intersection of the results from these sources confirm or disconfirm consensus gestures. Based on these findings, we extract from the taxonomy a subset of recommended gestures that give rise to design implications for gesture interaction with squeezable objects.
