We introduce a new area of interaction research, everyday computing, by focusing on scaling ubiquitous computing with respect to time. Our motivations for everyday computing stem from wanting to support the informal and unstructured activities typical of much of our everyday lives. Our goal is understanding the transformation of everyday life as computing is ubiquitously integrated into informal, daily activities and routines.

New CHI Paper on Understanding Clinician Assessment of Digital Self-Harm |
February 12, 2021
Jessica and Beth have a new CHI paper on understanding how Clinicians assess for aspects of digital self-harm and their thoughts about the impacts of technology on the presentation of eating disorders. In this interview study they uncovered tensions related to clinician comfor and education into the (mis)use of technologies. They also explore the balancing of the positive and negative aspects of social media use with patients both prior to and post-clinical intervention. Finally, they also highlight the tensions of using social media within clinical practices and the use of social media data in the identification and treatment of patients with eating disorders.

New CHI Paper on Empowering Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment |
February 12, 2021
Tamara and Beth have a new CHI publication! The paper is focused on a study where they observed how ten dyads with an older adult with mild cognitive impairment and their care partners interacted with Google home over the course of ten weeks. A total of 3878 interactions were reviewed to better understand their experiences and survey data to understand individual preferences and priorities for automated assistance in the home.

New paper on proprioceptively displayed interfaces |
January 15, 2021
Led by Dr. Clint Zeagler, this paper describes a between-participant study (104 participants) to determine how well users can locate e-textile interface discrete target touch points on the forearm without visual attention. We examine whether the addition of active touch embroidery and passive touch nubs (metal snaps with vibro-tactile stimulation) helps in locating input touch points accurately. They found that touch points towards the middle of the interface on the forearm were more difficult to touch accurately than at the ends. They also found that the addition of vibro-tactile stimulation aids in the accuracy of touch interactions by over 9% on average, and by almost 17% in the middle of the interface.

New Blog Post about User Research with Older Adults |
January 8, 2021
Niharika recently published a new blog post about research within the lab with older adults. Pulling from her work on the Mild Cognitive Impairment project, she offers a list of ideas that might help user researchers who work with older adults. Great work Niharika!
