“…The high proportion of them who said they are “not familiar” with exergames may mean that they had not tried to play them or that they did not know the meaning of the word “exergames” itself. Herstad and Holone 37 ) stated that “what we are unfamiliar with is often things that we do not engage with, have no skill or understanding of and are foreign to.”…”

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using exergames as a rehabilitation tool by determining the attitudes, awareness, opinions and experiences of physiotherapists, and older people towards exergames. [Subjects and Methods] A cross-sectional study was conducted and two short self-developed questionnaires (for physiotherapists and older people) were distributed in three hospitals in Cork (Ireland) to assess the attitudes towards and familiarity with exergames among physiotherapists and older people. The data were analysed using Microsoft Excel version 2013. [Results] The results show that a lot of older people have seen exergames devices but have not attempted to play them. This may indicate a lack of interest in or information about these devices and how to use them. With regard to the second group, physiotherapists underestimate older people’s knowledge about exergames. [Conclusion] Older people were not very familiar with exergames but they were willing to try them. In addition, despite physiotherapists being familiar with exergames, they see them as an additional tool that will not replace or change any traditional exercise methods.

“…To him, the guitar is both a familiar thing that belongs in the room, and also an artifact that produces a familiar sound, and has a familiar and predictable response to his interactions. As we see throughout the first two sessions, the guitar seems important to Cato as a bridge for making sense of the WAVE Carpet, to enable him to explore the new through the familiar (Herstad and Holone, 2012).…”

“…As an example of the role of familiarity, take the story of "Cato" from Herstad et al (Herstad and Holone, 2012). Cato, a young boy with severe disabilities, is introduced to WAVE Carpet in a number of sessions in the spring of 2012.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to bring together the fields of participatory design, design for all, accessible music, tangible interaction and musicking to propose musicking for all, where participants can take part on their own terms, with their own intentions, initiatives and interpretations. The goal is to promote well-being and health among the participants. Design/methodology/approach -Co-creative tangibles to enable musicking for all have been created and evaluated in a research project. The paper uses the experiences so far in this project to propose "musicking for all", based on the fields mentioned in "Purpose" above. Findings -Participatory design, design for all and tangible interaction forms a promising basis for musicking for all. Challenges/paradoxes emerge when applying participatory design approaches to design work involving disabled children.Originality/value -The paper contributes with an original view on musicking for disabled children, and proposes musicking for all based on the fields of research mentioned in "Purpose" above. The value in the contribution is a fresh view on co-creative tangibles for disabled children, and a suggested way forward to improve health and well-being for this user group.

“…However, vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers, for the use at home, were highly emphasized and seemed familiar to them. As a result, following Winograd and Flores (1986), and Herstad and Holone's (2012) ideas of building upon participants' pre-understanding and familiarity with this type of robots, a semi-autonomous omnidirectional iRobot Roomba vi , vacuum cleaner, was installed in the home of some of the elderly. This activity was part of the MECS pilot study, with the purpose of developing an understanding about situated elderliness, i.e.…”

This paper is a conceptual paper discussing feedback, from a quadratic anthropocentric perspective where the feedbacks' source, e.g. the emitters, may be humans, non-digital technology, still-and inmotion technologies. Here, both the source-and the receiver of feedback are co-present, i.e. share a physical space. Still technologies mean here non-autonomous digital technologies, i.e. technologies that do not move by themselves, whereas in-motion technologies are defined here as semiautonomous digital technologies. The aim of the paper is to gestate the concept of feedback, and to inform the Multimodal-Elderly-Care-System (MECS) project, on design of robots for the stay-at-home elderly. The purpose of the paper is to advance the discussions within the human-computer interaction (HCI) field, around the concept of feedback frameworked by spatialitymore exactly proxemics.
