Anticipation, agency and aging-conditions for making movement irresistible.

This article describes an approach to developing and maintaining interpersonal agency through guided movement and responsive technologies. Making Movement Irresistible (MMI), considered conditions for developing a digital, online and wearable intervention that could make the act of movement irresistible for older residents in care, and encourage improvisational and social interactions. Working within a co-design framework, we combined making material objects and moving together as a method of examining the efficacy of human to human, and human to technology relationships to cultivate agency.

The effects of Augmented Reality on operator Situation Awareness and Head-Down Time.

A lack of navigator's Situation Awareness (SA) is one of the leading causes of maritime accidents. Visually observing the area surrounding a vessel continues to be a critical aspect and best practice of safe navigation to establish and maintain SA. Augmented Reality (AR) allows the placement of information in a user's field of view, which can encourage navigators to spend more time looking up at their external environment whilst still having access to operational data.

Analyzing User Reviews of the First Digital Contraceptive: Mixed Methods Study.

Background: People in Western countries are increasingly rejecting hormone-based birth control and expressing a preference for hormone-free methods. Digital contraceptives have emerged as nonhormonal medical devices that make use of self-tracked data and algorithms to find a user's fertile window. However, there is little knowledge about how people experience this seemingly new form of contraception, whose failure may result in unwanted pregnancies, high health risks, and life-changing consequences.

Aligning social networks and co-designed visions to foster systemic innovation in the Alps.

Unlabelled: Mountain regions face substantial challenges and opportunities arising from global change. The capacity of mountain regions for (systemic) innovation will be determinant to the success of system transformations envisioned by social actors of mountain communities. By analysing the social networks of two regions in the Alps and relating them to desired future visions of sustainable regional development, we provide insights about innovative capacities in mountain regions and propose how to strengthen these capacities in order to support regional transformations.

Environmental Transformations Enhancing Dignity in an Acute Psychiatric Ward: Outcome of a User-Driven Service Design Project.

Objectives: The goal of the current project was to enhance the feeling of dignity for patients in the seclusion unit in an acute psychiatric ward through environmental design changes and to evaluate the effect of the refurbishment.

Background: Treating people with dignity is essential in all health-related work and important for our mental health. Hospital architecture and design signal values that can promote dignity.

The call-bell in residential care homes: Experiences of residents and staff.

Background/objectives: Call-bells are often taken-for-granted systems to heighten safety. In joint discussions among residential care home (RCH) residents, their family members, and staff, issues related to call-bell use in everyday life and work were repeatedly raised. In this article, we explore these experience-based perspectives, addressing several key questions important for call-bell use and communication.

Virtual fieldwork on a ship's bridge: virtual reality-reconstructed operation scenarios as contextual substitutes for fieldwork in design education.

Designing for professional, high-risk user contexts often implies limited accessibility for interaction designers to conduct field research and field testing, and the measures taken by most universities in Norway in 2020 to prevent COVID-19 spread have further contributed to the problem of achieving the contextual insight needed throughout the design process by severely restricting travel for research purposes. In this paper, we describe the use of virtual reality-reconstructed operation scenarios (VRROS) for Arctic-going vessels implemented in support of and as a substitute for the contextual aspects of fieldwork in the education of master's students studying interaction design. The virtual reality rig contains three scenarios contextualizing ships' bridges and their surroundings originally developed for research on designing navigation and operation applications using augmented reality technology.

Shifting Participatory Design Approaches for Increased Resilience.

OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONSSocial distancing restrictions imposed by the global outbreak of COVID-19 exposed vulnerabilities in traditional User-Centered Design processes. This paper presents a shift in methodological thinking and deployment of participatory processes toward a more dynamic and resilient approach of user-centered design in a multi-year joint academia-industry design project. We moved beyond an overreliance on resource-intensive formal discrete events - such as in-person design workshops, focus groups, or traditional field studies and observations - toward including more continuous inputs to create a more sustainable and fluid approach within a living lab ecosystem.

Reusing Stadiums for a Greener Future: The Circular Design Potential of Football Architecture.

Since the turn of the new Millennium, there has been an increase in efforts to build environmental-friendly sports arenas around the world. Fuelled by large sporting events like the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the 'Green Games,' and the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, stadium architecture has become a vehicle for this trend. So far, the emphasis has primarily been on new arenas, in line with the widespread belief in international architecture of the 2000s that older buildings are less energy-efficient by default.

Game of Cruxes: co-designing a game for scientists and stakeholders for identifying joint problems.

Unlabelled: Scientists increasingly cross their disciplinary boundaries and connect with local stakeholders to jointly solve complex problems. Working with stakeholders means higher legitimacy and supports practical impact of research. Games provide a tool to achieve such transdisciplinary collaboration.

Trans-Create - Co-Design with Persons with Severe Disabilities.

Technology has potential for improving the lives of persons with severe disabilities. But it's a challenge to create technology that improves lives from a person's own perspective. Co-design methods have therefore been used in the design of Assistive Technology, to include users in the design process.

From landfills to landscapes-Nature-based solutions for water management taking into account legacy contamination.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) can be used in combination with the reopening of piped rivers to support area development. In certain cases, piped rivers can run through disused landfills. This presents a complicating factor because landfills provide the possibility for river water to be contaminated by waste.

Reducing private car demand, fact or fiction? A study mapping changes in accessibility to grocery stores in Norway.

Background: Travel surveys show that the amount of private car driving in Norway has increased significantly since the mid-1980s. Private car driving has for a long time been the main mode of transport for retail and service trips, and grocery shopping trips represent over 60% of the retail and service travels. Despite the growing number of studies addressing accessibility to daily destinations, to the best of the authors' knowledge there are no studies examining these issues over time.

Designing easy access to care for first-episode psychosis in complex organizations.

Aims: Developing early intervention services (EIS) in healthcare organizations (HCOs) is difficult because it is necessary to integrate service approaches across units. To accommodate the needs of patients and relatives, Oslo University Hospital (OUH) chose to use service design (SD) to redesign their first-episode services with an emphasis on easy access to care. This paper discusses the results and how SD can help to overcome known barriers to change in complex organizations.

Cultural Artefacts with Virtual Capabilities Enhance Self-Expression Possibilities for Children with Special Needs.

In this paper we discuss how new combinations of technology, art and culture enable children with special needs new ways to express themselves. UN declaration (UDHR) states "All human beings have the right to participate in cultural life, enjoy art…", later including children (CRC) and persons with disabilities (CRPD). To meet these UN demands, several countries have created cultural programs to offer children art and culture activities in school.

Embodied and Distributed Parallel DJing.

Everyone has a right to take part in cultural events and activities, such as music performances and music making. Enforcing that right, within Universal Design, is often limited to a focus on physical access to public areas, hearing aids etc., or groups of persons with special needs performing in traditional ways.
