“…This backgrounding of the interface, and thereby the computer, is intended to allow for seamless action on behalf of the user without explicit interaction per se. The faceless interface [37] is one that does not present itself for use, but that through various sensed inputs corresponds to the user.…”

The changes that have come about through the increased speed, ubiquity, and scale of computational systems require a reconceptualisation of how we think about and study the relationship between humans and computers. Driven by the increased production of data in interaction and the transfer of value from interaction to data, we argue that computing that fundamentally impacts human-computer relations is no longer happening only in interaction but also without and outside interaction. While recent arguments have highlighted interaction as a problematic concept for HCI-challenging what constitute users, use, the human, and the computer in interactionwe propose post-interaction computing as one means to conceptualise a fourth wave of HCI. We propose four concepts-immediacy, (un)intentionality, interaction effects, and instability-that can help us in identifying and slicing our objects of analysis in new ways that better match the challenges that HCI is now faced with.

“…The interaction of users through a device employs a threshold-based model in which novel objects are intentionally designed for remote communication, or a medium for expressions and impressions as described by Janlert and Stolterman [6]. While interactions can be synchronous or asynchronous, most often each user or location possesses one object from a family of connected objects.…”

This paper introduces the concept of leaky objects to describe this phenomenon in which shared objects unintentionally reveal implicit information about individual or collective users. This leaking of implicit information changes our individual interactions with objects to through objects, enabling expressive communication and ambiguous speculation. The aim of this paper is raise awareness of this phenomenon through an ongoing autobiographical design probe in which remote interpersonal communication through a connected object is being explored, and raise questions regarding the potential implications for designers.

In this Research-through-Design investigation we explore the value of embodiment for social interaction in collaborative settings, and how to supportrather than suppress or ignore-embodiment with interactive technology. We use Participatory Sensemaking (De Jaegher & Di Paolo, 2007), a theory which explains sensemaking as continuous embodied interactions between people in a shared action space. We discuss three prototypes supporting Participatory Sensemaking. We describe how our understanding of participatory sensemaking evolved through (reflections on) design. The first product creates tangible access to moments of reflection in group conversations. We came to understand the tangibles as traces of individual reflection, which become publicly observable and actionable within social interaction. In our second prototype we designed traces as floor-projections dynamically connected to people's body movements. The system mediates the social positioning of session participants. The final system integrates our earlier insights in a dialogue tool for two people. Here participatory sensemaking shows itself as a skill with special emphasis on the sensuality of mutual contact. We end with a more general reflection on how design can contribute to theoretical analysis through iterations of designing and observing what interactive artefacts concretely do within the full complexity of human practices.
