Move&Find: The Value of Kinaesthetic Experience in a Casual Data Representation.

The value of a data representation is traditionally judged based on aspects like effectiveness and efficiency that are important in utilitarian or work-related contexts. Most multisensory data representations, however, are employed in casual contexts where creativity, affective, physical, intellectual, and social engagement might be of greater value. We introduce Move&Find, a multisensory data representation in which people pedalled on a bicycle to exert the energy required to power a search query on Google's servers.

Self-organizing knowledge management might improve the quality of person-centered dementia care: A qualitative study.

Background: In institutional dementia care, person-centered care improves care processes and the quality of life of residents. However, communication gaps impede the implementation of person-centered care in favor of routinized care.

Objective: We evaluated whether self-organizing knowledge management reduces communication gaps and improves the quality of person-centered dementia care.

Why and How to Approach User Experience in Safety-Critical Domains: The Example of Health Care.

Objective: To highlight the importance of the personal experience of users who interact with technology in safety-critical domains and summarize three interaction concepts and the associated theories that provide the means for addressing user experience.

Background: In health care, the dominant concepts of interaction are based on theories arising from classic cognitive psychology. These concepts focus mainly on safety and efficiency, with too little consideration being given to user experience.

An Emotional Response to the Value of Visualization.

When assessing the value of visualizations, researchers traditionally focus on efficiency, comprehension, or insight. However, analyzing successful data physicalizations leads to a deep appreciation for hedonic qualities. Informed by the role of emotion in psychology, art, design, marketing, and HCI, we argue for an expanded definition of value, applicable to all forms of data visualization.
