On the one hand, it is still about designing for engaging user experiences (UX). Still, on the other hand, it seems to be increasingly about reducing interaction and automating human–machine interaction through the use of AI and other new technologies. In this paper, we explore this seemingly unavoidable gap. First, we discuss the fundamental design rationality underpinning interaction and automation of interaction from the viewpoints of classic theoretical standpoints. We then illustrate how these two come together in interaction design practice. Here we examine four examples from already published research on automation of interaction, including how different levels of automation of interaction affect or enable new practices, including coffee making, self-tracking, automated driving, and conversations with AI-based chatbots. Through an interaction analysis of these four examples, we show (1) how interaction and automation are combined in the design, (2) how interaction is dependent on a certain level of automation, and vice versa, and (3) how each example illustrates a different balance between, and integration of interaction and automation. Based on this analysis, we propose a two-dimensional design space as a conceptual construct that takes these aspects into account to understand and analyze ways of combining interaction and automation in interaction design. We illustrate the use of the proposed two-dimensional design space, discuss its theoretical implications, and suggest it as a useful tool—when designing for engaging user experiences (UX), with interaction and automation as two design materials.","PeriodicalId":54628,"journal":{"name":"Personal and Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"06 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135092204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Remote monitoring may help in avoiding emergencies and prolong users’ independence. To understand how to design systems which support older adults, we studied a large-scale remote health monitoring system. The system used fitness-grade smartwatches to monitor the vital signs of more than 2000 users constantly. To probe the lived experience of using RHM, we conducted an explorative interview study ( N = 41) with operators, carers, and users of the RHM system. Our thematic analysis reveals that personalisation of care ecology is crucial for developing users’ confidence and trust in the system. We found that participation in RHM may catalyse positive changes in older adults’ lifestyles. Based on our findings, we formulate five recommendations for designing future health monitoring systems. Our work contributes to insights into the lived experience and stakeholder ecology of health monitoring systems.","PeriodicalId":54628,"journal":{"name":"Personal and Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135617152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, individuals with intellectual disabilities participated in a co-design process via a series of workshops and focus groups to design tangible interfaces for mental wellbeing as their wellbeing challenges are often diagnostically overshadowed. The workshops helped participants explore new technologies, including sensors and feedback mechanisms that can help monitor and potentially improve mental wellbeing. The adopted co-design approach resulted in a range of effective and suitable interfaces being developed for varying ages.","PeriodicalId":54628,"journal":{"name":"Personal and Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135696380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, this article explores perception of the artwork in two different sensorial modalities — sight and sound — and the effect of their interaction. We selected four abstract paintings and created four acousmatic musical pieces that were composed to reflect the content of the artwork. We then ran a between-subjects experimental study in three conditions: visual only, music only, and a combination of both. A total of 48 participants completed an online survey in which they were asked to report their interpretations of the shown artworks. Following a thematic analysis on the collected data, we clustered participants’ interpretation into two main categories: reflective and perceptive . The combination increased spectators’ attention to the artworks, affected the temporality of the artworks, and created richer understandings of the multimodal works. The study provides knowledge for the inclusion of multimodal experiences in the presentation of art expanding the possibilities for inter-sensory dialogue in the arts.","PeriodicalId":54628,"journal":{"name":"Personal and Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134934968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals commonly engage in coordination and negotiation processes to find matching partners and typically modify their schedules to enable cooperation. Mutual cooperation between carpooling individuals plays an important role in executing trips. Through cooperation, participants can achieve challenging agreements effectively in a repetitive manner. This paper presents a negotiation mechanism that can match individuals for carpooling using organization and agent-based concepts. It describes a matching model and a carpooling social network. It studies several aspects of multi-zonal individual behavior to identify groups of carpooling candidates. The carpooling social network is simulated on an ongoing basis for each of the following carpooling activities: interaction, negotiation, and trip execution. The interaction process enables communication between individuals within carpooling social groups in order to activate the negotiation process. During the negotiation process, participants typically modify their schedules to support cooperation by considering their personal preferences and constraints. Negotiation leads to matching of individuals based on trip start times, driver selection, detour duration, and carpool group pickup and dropoff sequences. Trip start times are established on travel, social, financial, and schedule-related factors. The carpoolers’ pickup and dropoff sequences that are feasible for an optimal carpool group are projected using specific scoring methods. Carpooling community candidates are recognized via outcomes projected using the FEATHERS activity–based model. The framework is implemented through the Janus multi-agent system.","PeriodicalId":54628,"journal":{"name":"Personal and Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135809738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
