“…There are, of course, numerous examples of HCI research based on literature review, for example looking at the production of theory [20], adoption of methods such as ethnography [8] and human computation [17], or summarizing progress in specific areas such as Mobile HCI [13,14] to name just a few. There are also examples of using bibliometric analysis to explore issues such as the nature of publications from different countries and organizations and the merit or otherwise of CHI Best Paper awards [2], conducting co-word analysis to establish a broad thematic mapping of the field [15], and even applying bibliometrics to rank individual scholars [16].…”

We present a case study of how Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) theory is reused within the field. We analyze the HCI literature in order to reveal the impact of one particular theory, the trajectories framework that has been cited as an example of both contemporary HCI theory and a strong concept that sits between theory and design practice. Our analysis of 60 papers that seriously engaged with trajectories reveals the purposes that the framework served and which parts of it they used. We compare our findings to the originally stated goals of trajectories and to subsequent claims of its status as both theory and strong concept. The results shed new light on what we mean by theory in HCI, including its relationship to practice and to other disciplines.

Understanding Public Evaluation

Public evaluations are popular because some research questions can only be answered by turning "to the wild." Different approaches place experimenters in different roles during deployment, which has implications for the kinds of data that can be collected and the potential bias introduced by the experimenter. This paper expands our understanding of how experimenter roles impact public evaluations and provides an empirical basis to consider different evaluation approaches. We completed an evaluation of a playful gesture-controlled display -not to understand interaction at the display but to compare different evaluation approaches. The conditions placed the experimenter in three roles, steward observer, overt observer, and covert observer, to measure the effect of experimenter presence and analyse the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.

“…Field trials enable researchers to study the use of the innovation by test users in a natural use context and allow them to discover and understand how technologies are being used and adopted in a real-life setting, which is one of the key principles within living lab research (Ballon et al, 2005;Følstad, 2008;Kjeldskov & Skov, 2014;Schuurman et al, 2013). In contrast to other research methods, participation in field trials requires a prolonged engagement of test users because they are expected to test an innovation during a specific period.…”
