“…From this work, we learned that considering the various properties of water can help us understand the resulting user experiences when supported by technology, which we considered in our framework that we present later. Although this prior work by Rafe et al [103] provides an interesting proposal of how to think about water and interactive technology, we note that the authors themselves acknowledge that it has not yet been validated, hence our work is still needed.…”

“…We therefore believe that designers must factor in how to harness or countermeasure the impact of these properties through informed risk assessment and within acceptable margins of safety. This has led Rafe et al to propose to see these constraints/opportunities as varying in degree depending on one's vicinity to water [103]. To help design future aquatic systems, the authors therein applied the "exertion framework" [71] to various water interactions to identify six degrees of water contact with the human body and the implication of each for interactive systems.…”

Aquatic recreation encompasses a variety of water-based activities from which participants gain physical, mental, and social benefts. Although interactive technologies for supporting aquatic recreation activities have increased in recent years, the HCI community does not yet have a structured understanding of approaches to interaction design for aquatic recreation. To contribute towards such an understanding, we present the results of a systematic review of 48 papers on the design of interactive technology for aquatic recreation, drawn from the ACM, IEEE, and SPORTDiscus libraries. This review presents an aquatic recreation user experience framework that details problems and opportunities concerning water and HCI. Our framework brings us closer to understanding how technology can interact with users and the aquatic environment to enhance the existing recreational experiences that connect us to aquatic environments. We found that designers can elicit delight, enablement, challenge, and synergy in aquatic recreation experiences.

“…Therefore, Ashley Colley et al considered the influence of water interface on aesthetic design and user experience, 4 but the association between context and water has still not become a factor to be considered in interaction design. The work of William L. Raffe et al provides guidelines for the design and development of water-related digital games 5 by classifying users according to six degrees of contact with water.…”

With a core purpose of helping users to understand the context, a water interface provides possibility for enhancing user experience in interaction process.Starting from analyzing existing water-mediated interaction approaches, we proposed a water-mediated interaction design model and a corresponding user experience model, aiming to eliminate the boundary between users and the context with water as the medium. According to the proposed model, we implemented a water-mediated interaction system Landscape Rippling, with the painting "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" as its context. Ultimately, user experience tests of the interaction system demonstrate the effectiveness of this water-mediated interaction design model.

“…On the Galactica rollercoaster (Merlin Entertainment Group, 2016), for example, riders wear HMDs to experience a virtual spaceflight which moves in response to the real rollercoaster. Similarly, researchers have also postulated adapting waterslides in waterparks to allow riders to wear HMDs to alter the experience while sliding down the slides (Raffe et al, 2015), which could potentially lead to sensory confusion in the form of making the riders visually see something in conflict with their movement down the slide. These works suggest that digital technology like HMDs could be a viable way of achieving vertigo play experiences, since these "vertigo" experiences have already made use of HMDs to alter and enhance existing experiences.…”

Many people enjoy “vertigo” sensations caused by intense playful bodily activities such as spinning in circles, and riding fairground rides. Game scholar Caillois calls such experiences “vertigo play,” elucidating that these enjoyable activities are a result of confusion between sensory channels. In HCI, designers are often cautious to avoid deliberately causing sensory confusion in players, but we believe there is an opportunity to transition and extend Caillois’ thinking to the digital realm, allowing designers to create novel and intriguing digital bodily experiences inspired by traditional vertigo play activities. To this end, we present the Digital Vertigo Experience framework. Derived from four case studies and the development of three different digital vertigo experiences, this framework aims to bring the excitement of traditional vertigo play experiences to the digital world, allowing designers to create more engaging and exciting body-based games, and provides players with more possibilities to enjoy novel and exciting play experiences.
