Data physicalization is a rich and vast research area that studies the use of physical artifacts
to convey data. It overlaps with a number of research areas including information …

Metaphors are important at multiple levels within design and society-from the specifics of
interfaces, to wider societal imaginaries of technology and progress. Exploring alternative …

Information visualization limits itself, per definition, to the domain of symbolic information.
This paper discusses arguments why the field should also consider forms of data that are not …

The increased popularity of recreational sports, like running, led to the development of
numerous technologies supporting people in their training. However, in their current form …

HCI designers increasingly engage in the integration of microbes into artefacts, leveraging
their distinct biological affordances for novel interactions. While in many explorations the …

Microbes offer designers opportunities to endow artefacts with environmental sensing and
adapting abilities, and unique expressions. However, microbe-embedded artefacts present …

Autoethnographic and other first-person research methods are a topic of increasing interest
in design and HCI. This focus parallels the boom in self-tracking and personal informatics …

Despite the fact that more and more car dashboards are being equipped with powerful, high-
resolution displays, allowing for radically new ways to design driving feedback, the question …

HCI researchers have begun to more systematically study non-digital transient approaches
for displaying information in public space, for example, in the form of chalk infographics …

Data physicalizations “map data to physical form,” yet many canonical examples are not
based on external data sets. To address this contradiction, I argue that the practice of …
