Designing Engaging Mixed Reality Environments What makes for engaging experiences? How can designers create engaging interactive environments? Framework for understanding situated engagement Design sensitivities and considerations Design exemplars

Social Temporal Technical Spatial Experiential

A socio-cultural approach Social, cultural and experiential aspects of interactive systems Qualitative approaches and rich, contextual understandings Embodied experience - continuous and singular Socio-technical networks, actors, and hybrids Aesthetics as an ecological property Engagement in practice

Homographies Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

Homographies Singular experience and ongoing sense-making Sparks reﬂection on unique situation Connects with continuous experience of society Embodied, social and cultural

Interventions and Ethnomethodology The study of people’s methods How we make sense of the world, display this to others, and produce a shared order Structures of everyday life are hidden to us because they are mundane Intervention and breaching experiments make such ethnomethods visible Experiments with behavioral patterns

Why ethnomethodology matters Our behaviour crystallizes into products and environments They undergo reciprocal transformations You never design in a vacuum You design into a socio-technical ecology that evolves

Mentors in Adaptive Design

quot;Because of the different rates of change of its components, a building is always tearing itself apart.quot; Stewart Brand

Diocletian’s Palace

Adaptation online

“The street ﬁnds its own uses for things” William Gibson

Body Movies Relational Architecture Dual-layered projection Uncovering imagery and story by shadows Social interaction necessary

Body Movies Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

“Designing for hackability means allowing and encouraging people to make technologies be what they want them to be ...” Anne Galloway

Reconfigurable House Usman Haque “The Reconfigurable House is an environment constructed from thousands of low tech components that can be quot;reconfiguredquot; by its occupants. Any sensor/actuator can be connected to any other sensor/actuator - it is the occupants of the house who determine the systems that run inside it.”
