“…While there are studies that focus or discuss the implications of computational behaviour (e.g. [25,29,57,56,71], we have not been able to find papers which would propose a systematic way of programming computational behaviour for RtD. In fact, "more research is needed for computational behaviour" [56].…”

“…[25,29,57,56,71], we have not been able to find papers which would propose a systematic way of programming computational behaviour for RtD. In fact, "more research is needed for computational behaviour" [56]. Furthermore, we point out needs originating from design-inclusive UX RtD: to "Provide rich prototypes to study aspects of experience and interaction", and a call for "new (lower level) design methods, tools and techniques" [72].…”

Making programmable physical artefacts and prototypes has inherent value for Research-through-Design (RtD) based HCI. Furthermore, the abstractions and representations within RtD and programming are vastly different, such as between observations, storyboards and the code. Studies have shown that the program of an artefact influences the RtD outcome, but there is also a disconnect between the observations of use and the abstractions involved in the programming. How can we program an artefact so that the code can be created, modified and reflected upon based on directly observable and non-technical abstractions? In this paper we present Storycoding, a computational-thinking based method for programming that focuses on bridging the representational abstractions. Using Storycoded artefacts, we examine programming in light of RtD. We discuss how Storycoding enables programming that is directly observable between the use and the abstractions, being respectful towards RtD. Finally, we conclude with implications towards HCI research and practice.

“…Similarly, in reviewing eco-feedback technology, Froehlich et al articulate common personal informatics principles like goal-setting, feedback, and support for behavior change theory [89]. Considering how tracking technology in helping people live more fulfilling lives, not just healthy ones, could lead to designs for people to monitor and maintain social relationships or participation in hobbies they enjoy [11,68,206].…”

The research community on the study and design of systems for personal informatics has grown over the past decade. To take stock of what the topics the field has studied and methods the field has used, we map and label 523 publications from ACM's library, IEEE Xplore, and PubMed. We surface that the literature has focused on studying and designing for health and wellness domains, an emphasis on understanding and overcoming barriers to data collection and reflection, and progressively fewer contributions involving artifacts being made. Our mapping review suggests directions future research could explore, such as identifying and resolving barriers to tracking stages beyond collection and reflection, engaging more with domain experts, and further discussing the privacy and ethical concerns around tracked data.

“…First, HCI designers can explore alternative and novel notions of temporality and make them more visible and interactive. For example, Odom et al's work on slow design illustrates [72][73][74] how HCI design can support reflections and subjective experiences of time such as anticipation, memory and re-visiting the past. Soro et al propose an alternative take on the futures cone by flipping its orientation, much like the Aymara, to designing for the past [90].…”

Design futuring approaches, such as speculative design, design fiction and others, seek to (re)envision futures and explore alternatives. As design futuring becomes established in HCI design research, there is an opportunity to expand and develop these approaches. To that end, by reflecting on our own research and examining related work, we contribute five modes of reflection. These modes concern formgiving, temporality, researcher positionality, real-world engagement, and knowledge production. We illustrate the value of each mode through careful analysis of selected design exemplars and provide questions to interrogate the practice of design futuring. Each reflective mode offers productive resources for design practitioners and researchers to articulate their work, generate new directions for their work, and analyze their own and others' work.
