“…Agency and autonomy were also valued for a range of desirable pragmatic outcomes for the user, from enhanced learning [90], to improved privacy and security [e.g., 63,86,124]. One paper noted that "autonomy is like the "muscle" of privacy" [21, p. 358], and in line with this a number of works explored the role of autonomy and agency in supporting privacy [21,63,85,86].…”

Human agency and autonomy have always been fundamental concepts in HCI. New developments, including ubiquitous AI and the growing integration of technologies into our lives, make these issues ever pressing, as technologies increase their ability to influence our behaviours and values. However, in HCI understandings of autonomy and agency remain ambiguous. Both concepts are used to describe a wide range of phenomena pertaining to sense-of-control, material independence, and identity. It is unclear to what degree these understandings are compatible, and how they support the development of research programs and practical interventions. We address this by reviewing 30 years of HCI research on autonomy and agency to identify current understandings, open issues, and future directions. From this analysis, we identify ethical issues, and outline key themes to guide future work. We also articulate avenues for advancing clarity and specificity around these concepts, and for coordinating integrative work across different HCI communities.

“…Earlier design guidelines, such as those of Shneiderman [45] and Nielsen [38], emphasized allowing users to be free initiators and in full control of their actions with user interfaces. In contrast, current interaction techniques may directly influence control, such as to improve target acquisition by sharing the control of one's virtual body [19] or improving reaction time with electrical muscle stimulation [25]. As the user interface design influences the user's control over their actions, the user's sense of control has also been considered important to measure.…”

Sense of control is increasingly used as a measure of quality in human-computer interaction. Control has been investigated mainly at a high level, using subjective questionnaire data, but also at a low level, using objective data on participants’ sense of agency. However, it remains unclear how differences in higher level, experienced control reflect lower level sense of control. We study that link in two experiments. In the first one we measure the low-level sense of agency with button, touchpad, and on-skin input. The results show a higher sense of agency with on-skin input. In the second experiment, participants played a simple game controlled with the same three inputs. We find that on-skin input results in both increased sense and experience of control compared to touchpad input. However, the corresponding difference is not found between on-skin and button input, whereas the button performed better in the experiment task. These results suggest that other factors of user experience spill over to the experienced control at rates that overcome differences in the sense of control. We discuss the implications for using subjective measures about the sense of control in evaluating qualities of interaction.

“…This ability is key for quick preparation for the opponent's next actions. Informed by related work, we envision EMS as a training tool that subtly actuates the trainee to adjust their ready position, resulting in maintaining correct positions even when no EMS stimulation is present [10]. We describe a user-centric evaluation of the feasibility of using wearable EMS-based feedback in crossminton sports.…”

Racket sports offer an enjoyable form of physical activity and are fertile ground for interactive technologies supporting new players. Yet, current research has neglected its potential to support not only active players but also coaches in their training methods. To investigate how interactive technologies can support skill acquisition in training, we designed an Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) system that helps maintain the ready position in crossminton. We compared the system with a vibrotactile solution in a user study, interviewing novice players and experienced coaches about their perception of the system. The system allowed coaches to effectively and immediately guide players to the ready position. An EMS-based feedback system for coaches can potentially reduce delay (physical and cognitive) for trainees, as stated by coaches. Our work contributes insights into designing systems that facilitate learning sports techniques using interactive feedback.
