Geological fieldwork forms an integral part of science discovery, exploration, and learning in many geoscientific domains. Yet, there are barriers that can hinder its practice. To address this, prior research has investigated immersive geovisualisations, however, there is no consensus on the types of interaction tools and techniques that should be used. We have conducted a literature review of 31 papers and present the visualisation environments, interaction tools and techniques, and evaluation methods from this last decade. We found a lack of established taxonomy for visualisation environments; an absence of thorough reports on interaction tools and techniques; and a lack of use of relevant human-computer interaction (HCI) theories and user-centered approaches. This review contributes towards the development of a design framework as we propose a basic taxonomy; demonstrate the need for holistic records of user interactions; and highlight the need for HCI evaluation methods. Addressing these gaps will facilitate future innovation in the emerging field of immersive geovisualisations.

Automated conversational agents are becoming popular in various everyday contexts. In order to fulfill a more important role in human society, people would need to feel a sense of familiarity with such agents. To achieve this, we focus on humor, which enables familiar relationships between people and agents. In this study, we propose an interaction style of a pair of conversational agents that make humorous statements in conversation with users in real time, referring to the Japanese Manzai. In this method, a pair of agents, one making the joke and the other serving as the butt of the joke, perform humor in real time. The results of the experiment using the prototype system showed that when the agents performed humorous statements during conversations with users, the humans perceived that agent as expressing a sense of humor, and their motivation to continue the conversation increased.

The use of digital technologies, particularly mobile devices, play an increasingly critical role within everyday family life. However, recent research indicates that family technology use can create conflict in parents’ relationships. In this paper, we present four sources of this conflict, discovered by conducting a probe and interview study with eight parent dyads. By providing an understanding of how family technology use can create conflict between parents, this research complements existing work that primarily focuses on parent-child relationships. Thus, we contribute to a more complete understanding of how technology use can affect family dynamics. Finally, we consider how designers might address these sources of conflict between parents, when creating future technologies that are destined for use in domestic settings.

Lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted how family live, play, and stay active. Based on interviews and activity diaries with 8 families with young children (three to five years of age), this study investigated how COVID-19 affected active play in families as well as how digital technologies have been used to keep children active and well. Key challenges reported by families were limited access to outdoor spaces, upheaval of routines, increased screen-time, and struggles with the lack of boundaries between work and family lives. These challenges in turn led parents to invent new ways to keep their children to active. Parents used digital technologies to promote music and dance, imaginative play, and parent-facilitated play. Based on these findings, we discuss design opportunities to reframe the home context into an environment for active play.

Our research aims to explore the potential that Tangible, Embodied and Embedded Interactive technologies (TEIs) have as a means of engaging young children in physically active play. This paper describes a scoping review of existing research that designs, develops or tests TEIs, where we identify 32 papers that discuss TEIs with the potential to get children active. Our review found that educational objectives are common in the design of TEIs, and that screen-based technologies are still prevalent in tangible and embodied literature. The outcomes of this paper contribute to understanding of the types of TEIs already proposed for young children and will help provide direction for future research.

During recent years multiple studies focused on how to mediate the intimacy of couples over distance by researching various intimacy aspects, such as physical contact and disclosure. At the same time, mediating intimacy for co-located couples remains relatively unexplored. Our paper focuses on this and presents an empirical field study involving 13 co-located couples that interacted with a technology probe titled ‘Shaping Romance’. In short, our qualitative findings show that technology can mediate intimacy by allowing partners to look inwards and reflect on their own desires, look outwards and reflect on the desires of their partner, and look at the whole by remembering, acting and validating. Our contributions to HCI are the technological intervention itself, our findings which highlight limitations and opportunities technology has for mediating the intimacy of co-located couples, and a design space full of dilemmas that we present for future researchers and designers.

Virtual Reality (VR) provides a new way for people to interact with technology, but it comes with its own challenges that can restrict its accessibility for the general public. Not everyone is able to use VR due to a phenomenon known as VR sickness, where users experience motion sickness like symptoms when using VR. This paper presents two studies that investigates the impact of introducing an external airflow and reducing room temperature on people during a VR experience. 33 participants were used across these studies who played the same VR game in each condition, a control, an airflow and a reduced room temperature. Our results show participants had a 28% reduction in average VR sickness with the external airflow, as compared against the control and reduced room temperature. Most participants also responded that they preferred the airflow condition the most, citing that it made them less sick and more comfortable.

Despite being situated in public spaces, public interactive displays (PIDs) are not always designed to be fully inclusive, particularly for people with vision impairments. Prototyping physical PIDs with accessible features can be time-consuming and there are ethical and safety barriers to navigate when recruiting appropriate participants for studies. While it is still important to represent this user group in the design process, empathic modelling can also be used to rapidly simulate some challenges people with disability might face when interacting with a system. Traditionally this method has been performed using physical props, however Virtual reality (VR) is a promising way to help amplify it due to its immersive nature. Despite this, its use as a tool for empathic design remains unexplored. Therefore, our work is aimed towards filling this gap through the evaluation of a VR prototype which simulates the experience of a visually impaired person interacting with a public interactive display. This work contributes design considerations for VR simulations to generate empathy towards people with vision impairment.

We investigate the impact of anthropomorphism on embodied AI through a study of personal assistants (PA). The effects of physical embodiment remain underexplored while the consumer market for PAs shows an increase in the diversity of physical appearances of these products. We designed three fictional personal assistants with varying levels of embodied anthropomorphism. We validated that our prototypes differed significantly in levels of anthropomorphism (N = 26). We developed a set of identical videos for each device, demonstrating realistic end-user interaction across six scenarios. Using a between-subject video survey study (N = 150), we evaluate the impact of different levels of embodied anthropomorphism on the perception of personal assistants. Our results show that while anthropomorphism did not significantly affect the perception of Overall Goodness, it affected perceptions of Perceived Intelligence, Likeability, and the device’s Pragmatic Qualities. Finally, we discuss the implications of the identified relationships between anthropomorphism and user confidence in embodied AI systems.

In a world of increasing environmental degradation there is an urgency to promote younger generations’ care for nature. However, the process of technology design is often overlooked as a means of enhancing this care and understanding. We explored how the co-design of games with children might support their nature affinity through two case studies of game co-design workshops carried out across schools in Australia and Bhutan. Four key themes highlight the usefulness and challenges of this method: i) expressing care and stewardship; ii) choice of prompts in co-design; iii) experience of play; iv) group dynamics. We discuss how game co-design facilitates children's creative expression by harnessing their expertise through iteration, discussion, and playfulness. This research shifts the focus of environmental games for children from output evaluation to process engagement and in so doing presents insights of use to designers, educators, and children-computer interaction researchers.
