CHI 2020
University of Siegen’s Experience-and-Interaction-Group has been very successful with its submissions for CHI2020. Five full paper, four late breaking work and three workshop contributions have been accepted. Further we organized one workshop. Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus the conference has been cancelled. Thus, instead of presenting physically in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi we shortly introduce our work this way:
Full Paper
In order to understand what makes scheduling decisions fair from the worker perspective, Uhde et. al. carried out phenomenological interviews and an experimental vignette study asking nurses about fairness in different scenarios. They found that generally equality is the guiding norm, while individual conflicts are perceived as fairest when based on individual needs.
Laschke et. al. contribute a real-world case with a large medical technology provider, showing that medical technology could be designed more holistically to improve radiologists' wellbeing explicitly.
To overcome anthropomorphism in robot design Dörrenbächer et al. developed a new performative method: With Techno-Mimesis robot designers are able to transform themselves into their robots and identify potentials of not being human (robotic superpowers).
This full paper presents results of a long-term study with seniors in a care facility. Barriers and opportunities of social robots became obvious.
Aiming to enhance female participation in the IT workforce, Ahmadi et. al. established a feminist living lab in a video game company. In this full paper they present lessons learned.
Late Breaking Work
Löffler et al. argue that the robot’s hybrid nature on a spectrum between ‘thing’ and ‘being’ is a suitable design framework to help robots become domestic products. With their online study they demonstrate: hybridity allows a wider range of practices to occur, from tool use to social interaction.
Janböcke et al. present and evaluate a calendar application, which uses chronobiological knowledge to support people’s planning activities.
Laschke et. al investigate a seminar in which design students built machines for musicians to improvise with. They explored the experiences of musicians when improvising with non-human musicians, as well as the challenges of designing non-human musicians.
Bharmal et. al explore whether technology can support the transformation of "good" intentions into concrete implementation intentions and their triggering as well as routinization.
Workshop Paper
Judith Dörrenbächer, Matthias Laschke, Diana Löffler, Ronda Ringfort, Sabrina Großkopp, Marc Hassenzahl: Experiencing Utopia. A Positive Approach to Design Fiction.
Dörrenbächer et al. imagine, enact, and evaluate utopia with participants. They react to four main critiques concerning Design Fiction: its negativity, its contextlessness, its elitist authorship, and its missing evaluation methods.
By exploring two cases, this contribution proposes a wellbeing-driven approach to the design of work-related technology.
Preserving a meaningful work environment gains new importance when introducing disruptive technologies. Janböcke et al. used the experimental vignette method to study effects of AI use in work contexts.
Workshop
Climate change will drastically influence the way of our future. This workshop aims at discussing and developing new concepts to implement automated driving technology in the most sustainable way.
