Performative Experience Design (PED) is an extension of experience design focusing on the unique time-bound encounter between performers and spectators. Technology is purposefully designed to enhance the experience between audience and performers. PED has been studied with adult participants;however, it has not been explored with children. We conducted a Cooperative Inquiry session to explore 1) how children want to interact with live performances;2) how they seek to change a story in live performances;and 3) a specific technique that might facilitate designing for such interactions. We present our initial findings regarding children's perceptions of what constitutes live performance and the ways in which children want to use technology to interact with, direct, and respond to narrative structures and characters within live performances. We include a discussion of the features of a specific co-design technique for supporting the ideation process of our child designers. Copyright 2014 ACM.

It has been recognized that most seniors prefer to age in a place with familiar surroundings until their health makes this impossible. In an attempt to address the aging phenomenon, as well as recognize seniors' preference, we worked with a Canada-based company that develops a sensor-based home monitoring system for people to monitor the home activities of independently living seniors. Our role was to develop web interfaces that present sensor data to the intended web users – the seniors' informal care providers (e.g., their close friends or family members). In this paper, we present the information design and the web interface prototypes, and report the results of our formative evaluations through cognitive walkthrough and heuristic evaluation methods. The common problems discovered in both methods were problematic notification mechanism, inconsistency, background and layout. Each method also detected usability issues that the other did not. Our work adds more empirical evidence to the importance of combining evaluation methods in a study. The experiences in this study also helped us reflect on approaches and strategies when working with industry partners.

Stereoscopic displays are promising and have many applications in various fields because they can provide amazing visual effects. However, one of the inevitable problems is that they also cause visual fatigue after durative viewing. Recent years, many researches have been proposed on the visual fatigue during stereoscopic viewing. But there are very few researches on the visual fatigue during a continuous viewing process, especially for those combine both subjective and objective evaluation. Besides, with the development and popularization of mobile devices, it is now possible for users to experience stereoscopic effects using mobile devices anytime and anywhere. In this paper, a comprehensive evaluation method is proposed. Subjective scores, Electrocardiograph (ECG) and eye movement of all subjects were collected when they were viewing stereoscopic videos. These data were then used to analyze the change of the visual fatigue during viewing. A mobile device was adopted and a comparative experiment was designed to assess the change of the visual fatigue when viewing 2D and 3D content respectively. Eighteen subjects were employed in the experiment, and the results show that the visual fatigue is generally greater when viewing 3D contents than when viewing similar 2D contents.

The article discusses how LaserOrigami allows users to quickly create 3D structures that do not require manual assembly. LaserOrigami bends the workpiece by distributing the heat over a larger surface. By moving the workpiece away from the laser, it defocuses the laser. This distributes the laser's heat over a larger region. In addition, LaserOrigami further distributes the laser's heat by repeatedly running the laser back and forth over the region to be bent. LaserOrigami modifies focus by moving the cutting table up and down. LaserOrigami offers two types of interfaces. The first one is a traditional CAD-style interface, which researchers created as a master shape library for Microsoft Visio. The key idea behind LaserOrigami is that it achieves three-dimensionality by bending the workpiece. LaserOrigami accomplishes this by heating selected regions of the workpiece until they turn compliant and bend under the forces of gravity.
