“…A number of other articles have reported on teaching design approaches from various related sub-fields of HCI, such as tangible and embedded interaction design (Martin and Roehr, 2010), interaction design and children (Eriksson and Torgersson, 2014), digital craft (Nitsche et al, 2014), interaction design with a focus on sensor-based interaction (Brynskov et al, 2012), participatory design (Hecht and Maass, 2008;Christiansson et al, 2018), ethnography in human-computer interaction (Weinberg and Stephen, 2002), and interaction design by research through design (Hansen and Halskov, 2018). We have also seen a need for more discussions around teaching various strands of design of technologies, such as in child-computer interaction (Van Mechelen et al, 2020) and in participatory design (Hecht and Maass, 2008), to name a few.…”

There is an increasing awareness of the importance of considering values in the design of technology. There are several research approaches focused on this, such as e.g., value-sensitive design, value-centred human–computer interaction (HCI), and value-led participatory design, just to mention a few. However, less attention has been given to developing educational materials for the role that values play in HCI, why hands-on teaching activities are insufficient, and especially teaching activities that cover the full design process. In this article, we claim that teaching for ethics and values in HCI is not only important in some parts of the design and development process, but equally important all through. We will demonstrate this by a unique collection of 28 challenges identified throughout the design process, accompanied by inspirational suggestions for teaching activities to tackle these challenges. The article is based on results from applying a modified pedagogical design pattern approach in the iterative development of an open educational resource containing teaching and assessment activities and pedagogical framework, and from pilot testing. Preliminary results from pilots of parts of the teaching activities indicate that student participants experience achieving knowledge about how to understand and act ethically on human values in design, and teachers experience an increased capacity to teach for values in design in relevant and innovative ways. Hopefully, this overview of challenges and inspirational teaching activities focused on values in the design of technology can be one way to provide teachers with inspiration to sensitize their students and make them better prepared to become responsible designers by learning how to address and work with values in HCI.

“…Untethered operation, meaning wireless connectivity and embedded power supply (batteries), is an enabling factor for the development of technologies that can disappear into everyday objects. In this perspective DUL Radio [5] provides tiny generic modules with an accelerometer embedded, to experiment prototyping sensor-based interactions. Modules stream their raw data to a PC over a serial link, making it available to other applications, and can run up to five days on a standard coin battery.…”

Designing and prototyping for IoT have historically required a diverse range of skills and a set of tools that individually supported only a fraction of the whole process, not being designed to work together. These tools usually require a certain level of proficiency in design methods, programming or electronics, depending on the phase addressed. Previous works on the Tiles Ideation toolkit and the RapIoT software framework demonstrated how the design phase can be democratized and how a simple programming paradigm can make coding for IoT a task accessible to non-experts. With this work we present and evaluate the process and the technologies involved in the programming and prototyping phase of an IoT application. The Tiles Square and the Tiles Temp are introduced, these two electronic devices complement and support IoT prototyping. They are designed to work in conjunction with the Tiles Ideation toolkit and are supported by the RapIoT software framework, allowing non-experts to augment and program everyday objects. We illustrate the potential of this approach by presenting the results obtained after workshops with 44 students. We conclude by discussing strengths and limitations of our approach, highlighting the lessons learned and possible improvements.

“…As an example of the FreeIMU library simplicity, listing 1.1 implements an USB Inertial Mouse which uses pitch and roll angles to move the mouse pointer on screen. Regarding sensor fusion algorithms, in order to compute the orientation of the board, we make use of the algorithm by Mahony et al [9], originally developed for usage on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and later extended by Madgwick to incorporate the magnetic distortion compensation algorithms from his algorithm [8] released as a reference quaternion implementation 3 . Such algorithm, considerably lighter than traditional Kalman filters, allows us to obtain orientation data up to 400Hz even on the limited memory and computing power of the Arduino microcontroller.…”

“…DUL Radio [3] is a small sensor board containing an accelerometer, a microcontroller and wireless communication which has been designed for ease-of-use. While this device may be interesting for inexperienced developers, it may be also constraining compared to Arduino, as also noted by the authors.…”

FreeIMU: An Open Hardware Framework for Orientation and Motion Sensing

Orientation and Motion Sensing are widely implemented on various consumer products, such as mobile phones, tablets and cameras as they enable immediate interaction with virtual information. The prototyping phase of any orientation and motion sensing capable device is however a quite difficult process as it may involve complex hardware designing, math algorithms and programming. In this paper, we present FreeIMU, an Open Hardware Framework for prototyping orientation and motion sensing capable devices. The framework consists in a small circuit board containing various sensors and a software library, built on top of the Arduino platform. Both the hardware and library are released under open licences and supported by an active community allowing to be implemented into research and commercial projects.
