Interactive media technologies are increasingly designed to support an active life among senior citizens and not solely to diminish the effects of physical and cognitive decline. One aspect of active life in one's old age is engagement in creative "personal projects," such as new hobbies and reflection on past events. To our knowledge, research has not yet explicitly focused on the role of creative personal projects in senior citizens' media use. In our analysis of media diaries and contextual interviews with seven seniors, we focus on how interactive media technologies are involved in these projects. Proceeding from our findings, we provide suggestions on how to enhance creative personal projects with interactive media technology design.

This paper presents the findings from an exploratory study that looks at how creativity plays a role in the repair and reuse of objects in the home. We are interested in a particular form of creativity that manifests in the everyday -- what John Dewey [8] describes as a constant doing and undergoing, as we actively adjust to everyday situations. The goal of this study is to show evidence of repair as not only an act of restoration, but also as an act of creativity that entails the repurposing and resourcing of objects. This study is part of a larger research initiative known as the Everyday Design, where it is believed that everyone is a designer and that design is an ongoing activity that includes the repair, modification, and appropriation of design objects and systems. Furthermore, this study serves as baseline research for future investigations in how to inform the design of technologies whose lifecycle can be extended for various contexts of use through repair.

We organized one-week 'IncompanyLabs' (i.e. on site co-design activities) at three different creative companies, seeking opportunities for an embodied interactive media tool to support creative sessions. Our concept TRACES is an interactive floor guiding the creation of shared insights and supporting taking the step from individual thinking to group-level integration. User explorations with a Wizard-of-Oz prototype revealed directions for improving the interaction quality and indicated how a system like TRACES could act as a 'scaffold' for discussion

The visual music composition cartographs, a work in three short movements, is presented. [1] Each movement is an abstract animation---a visualization of a numeric process---that is then mapped into a single static image (a score)---that is then mapped into sound. Thus through the process of data mapping we hear and see a process unfold, each sense simultaneously experiencing a map (a metaphor) of what the other sense is experiencing.

This paper describes Open House, a networked art installation by Jack Stenner and Patrick LeMieux that allows visitors to telematically squat in a Florida home undergoing foreclosure after the U.S. housing collapse. Virtual markets transformed this otherwise livable property into a ghost house. Prior to the collapse, the movements of global capital seemed like a distant reality to most homeowners, but in the end it was imaginary systems of value, not bricks and mortar, that fell apart. Through computer interaction that integrates computational processes, mechanical relays, and human interactions, Open House implicates the tendency to separate virtual and physical activity, an enabling mechanism and proximate cause for the current U.S. economic crisis.

The goal of our research is to develop a computer system based on the concept of pictures-and-attributed-notes (PAN) aiming to stimulate creativity and imagination when users create a story. We have conducted an experiment and used the Conceptual, Operational, Perceptional and Evaluation (COPE) coding system to analyze the process of creating a story with the aid of computer system. The preliminary results revealed that the computer system based on PAN can stimulate user's creativity during the process of story creation.

Despite parallels between the structure of poetry composition and design tasks, no research has explored these correspondences to better understand the skilled behaviour in these two domains. In Study 1 expert poets were interviewed about their creative practices and a thematic analysis was conducted comparing these practices to key findings concerning the nature of design expertise. In Study 2, poets wrote poems while completing a 'think aloud' protocol and in Study 3 award winning expert poets were interviewed in light of the findings of earlier studies. The results were examined in regards to: (1) the role of "sources of inspiration" [4] in contextualizing activity and informing the creation of novel solution ideas; (2) the involvement of "primary generators" [3] in scoping tasks to core objectives; and (3) the nature of self-questioning and the role that questions take in forming solutions.

In this paper, we discuss the role of spatial cognition during the architectural design activity, and how it affects design creativity. Recognizing that current CAD applications' Windows-Icon-Menu-Pointer (WIMP) user interfaces do not fully support creative exploration in modeling geometries for design, we design a prototype system that incorporates a regular pc and a depth camera for gestural input. We present the implementation and use scenario of the system, and discuss why gestural input may advance creativity in the design process.

Augmented Reality (AR) is becoming more interesting to a variety of research communities beyond the small group of researchers that have traditionally studied AR technology. From its earliest years, AR has been presented as a subset of Mixed Reality (MR), and both have been conceived of in terms of the technologies they use. However, while the definition of AR has been fixed for a number of years, MR is much more ambiguous. Through a re-examination of the accepted definition of AR, we derive a new definition of MR that centers on human experience rather than technology. Then, through discussion of a number of paradigmatic examples that fit this new definition, we generate a classification system for MR experiences based on the concept of spatial scale and its associated cognitive processes. Finally, we discuss how this new "scale model" of MR helps to identify key concepts that can be used in the design process of future MR experiences.

In conjunction with Brigham Young University's Visual Arts program, we conducted a study centered around a system designed to be an artificial artist, in order to synthesize the ideas of visual artists and computer scientists. Participants from both disciplines designed activities that imposed the limitations of the artificial system on their fellow participants. These activities sparked discussion and insight into the nature of the creative process and how it can be better emulated in artificial systems. We present our system and several of the activities designed around it and discuss the synergistic results.
