“…The Energy Babble service, through online social networking platforms gathered and communicated energy issues to the designated communities. These were energy and related concerns from people, their devices, from online sources, communities and also programmed bots (Gaver et al, 2015;Kerridge et al, 2013). The group mentions of using technology as a basis for public reflection on energy as a political entity and also as a domestic metric.…”

Over the past two decades a number of design-led projects undertaken on the topic of energy research have contributed to the research-through-design domain. We present selected studies from design and HCI undertaken as research-throughdesign on the topic of energy as a curated chronology. Four design practice-based research groups from different global regions engaging with energy related issues are discussed in a chronological presentation. Using descriptive analysis of these projects we interpret four specific traits of design for approaching energy as a design subject. The interpretation is presented through tracings of traits and are analysed in a sequence. Building such a curated chronology of prior projects we generate an approach for designing a relation building consumer reward system for a project on wind-based electricity production. With this we show that such a curated chronological approach can be interpretive and generative, complimenting and strengthening conventional literature reviews when undertaking research-through-design projects.

“…RtD projects tend to have broad, ideological aims (philosophical aspect) that invite an infinite number of interpretationse.g. "engage public with electricity use and environment" [14]; "find out how kids would like to communicate remotely" [15]. There is therefore a lot of opportunity to brainstorm and play with ideas.…”

This paper explores Research through Design (RtD) as a potential methodology for developing new interactive experiences for animals. We present an example study from an on-going project and examine whether RtD offers an appropriate framework for developing knowledge in the context of Animal-Computer Interaction, as well as considering how best to document such work. We discuss the design journey we undertook to develop interactive systems for captive elephants and the extent to which RtD has enabled us to explore concept development and documentation of research. As a result of our explorations, we propose that particular aspects of RtD can help ACI researchers gain fresh perspectives on the design of technology-enabled devices for non-human animals. We argue that these methods of working can support the investigation of particular and complex situations where no idiomatic interactions yet exist, where collaborative practice is desirable and where the designed objects themselves offer a conceptual window for future research and development.

“…The Interactive Tablecloth [14] served as an object for reflection, interpretation, social interaction and aesthetic appreciation. Perhaps most relevant to our current work, physical devices, such as an automated radio called the Energy Babble, have the potential to construct publics around issues, by forming a concentrated account of current discourse around a topic [15].…”

“…This suggest that our research naturally builds upon similar research into the use of research products. Whereas Lindley et al's messaging system was able to maintain a relationship between family members [25] and Gaver et al's Energy Babble was able to create a public around a topic [15], the Social Printers created a community between strangers that went beyond the topic of the debates.…”

Social Printers are physical devices that create a pseudonymous social network between households during televised political debates. Through studies conducted around the Scottish Parliamentary Election and EU Referendum in 2016, we aimed to understand how physical devices could be used to engage viewers with televised political debates. By displacing the interaction from conventional social media and second screens we observed that the printers were successful in encouraging the participants to share their thoughts and create a personal social experience. Based on the results we discuss potential implications for conventional social media and second screens in the context of political television programs.
