Furniture-device is the device having furniture appearance and physical input and output function. The Escaping Chair is a furniture-device having physical and dynamic interaction with a user to let them perceive the intent of their action and personify the furniture. The Escaping Chair interacts with the bystanders by trying to move away from nearby people. By doing this, the device tries to make the person fail to sit on it, and stimulates their perception about sitting. The idea of a furniture-shaped device was extended from one of my previous artworks, which used furniture as input mechanisms. I exhibited the chair and observed the interaction sit produced with exhibition visitors. It succeeded in making people wonder during the interaction, as I planned, and making them further chase the chair, which indicates a new capability of the device. There were some challenges regarding load tolerance, detection latency and failure, which I have proposed improvements for. Copyright is held by the owner/author(s).

As many of the elderly are prone to dysphagia, preventing aspirations during mealtime assistance is a huge concern, especially for institutions operated with limited staff. Two of the main course of actions that are taken usually to prevent aspiration are the altering of bolus consistency and altering of the swallowing posture. To assist prevention of pneumonia, we have been developing a smartphone-based wearable technology that can evaluate swallowing ability in real-time. In this paper we will introduce modified version of Swallwoscope adding a posture detection system and a remote swallowing activity visualisation system to our previous work. We will evaluate the accuracy of the proposed posture detection system and also evaluate the feasibility of our device to determine bolus consistency. We plan to integrate these components in a network-based framework to share the relevant medical information within the community to enhance safety and pleasure of eating.
