Preface: “HCI… but not as we know it”
At first sight the two themes of this year’s People and Computers volume seem to send conflicting messages. On the one hand, “Happy 21st ” suggests that British HCI as a discipline has much to celebrate, having grown from its inception at the 1985 conference at the University of East Anglia, through infancy (where it made quite a lot of noise) and its terrible teens (struggling for substantive and methodological independence from its parents), and maturing into an autonomous discipline, ready to make its own way in the world. On the other hand, “HCI…but not as we know it”, darkly hints that British HCI may not be the same creature that saw the light 21 years ago; that it has, perhaps, been led astray or become possessed by an alien force.
Rather than the negative connation of alien possession, however, the “HCI… but not as we know it” theme might better be taken to reflect how British HCI has not merely matured into adulthood but is now an evolving life-form that is adapting to meet the many emerging research challenges within the contemporary landscape of interaction design. Central amongst the changing contexts of current HCI research are the realms of mobile, virtual and everyday interaction that are far removed from the focus on static, desktop-based interaction that prevailed at the inaugural conference. The theme of that conference was “Designing the Interface”, and the resulting proceedings volume, edited by Peter Johnson and Stephen Cook [3], was dominated by papers focusing on formalising methods, models and guidelines for the design and evaluation of usable interfaces in workplace and office situations, with the main concern being the support for effective task completion by adult professional computer users. Of course, the 1985 conference came before the Internet as we know it. There did exist a form of Internet, but interaction was limited to textbased commands and simple messages, and there was only a small cabal of dedicated users based in research establishments around the world. And there were no multimedia systems or mobile phones. So it is hardly surprising that the 23 full papers selected for this year’s conference are so different in their sheer breadth of focus and concern from those published in the 1985 proceedings.
People and Computers XXI fully reflects the changing terrain of contemporary HCI, with researchers examining contexts as diverse as the social world of Blogs, the creative world of Digital Live Art, and the virtual world of Second Life®. Moreover, although there are papers that examine adult users in work-based contexts, these papers are equally balanced by those that address more diverse user groups (e.g., children, families, artists, and performers) in contexts far outside the workplace (e.g., in the street, at home, in school, on the stage, or within the urban transport system). We have clustered our papers within this volume into eight sections that capture effectively the evolving nature of HCI research.
Section 1 on Creative and Aesthetic Experiences includes three papers that examine new forms of interaction that allow us to use computers to create enjoyment for ourselves and others. Bardzell and Bardzell use virtual ethnography and artifact analysis to examine the prevalent BDSM (bondage, discipline, and sadomasochism) subculture in Second Life®, the emergence of which they explain in terms of the opportunities that Second Life® affords for the creation of truly unique and powerful aesthetic experiences. Sheridan et al. describe a framework for characterising people’s behaviour with Digital Live Art, and exemplify this framework through an exploration of people’s interaction with a digitally-based variant of an ancient Maori art form (poi). The final paper in this Section by Eales and Perera focuses on uncovering insights for the development of creativity support tools via the detailed observation of the creative practices of two artists whose work straddles the digital-atomic border.
The three papers in Section 2 examine issues relating to Everyday Interaction, and assess how the broader context of using devices (e.g., in terms of trust, security, control, and public policy) impacts upon interaction. Inglesant and Sasse draw on case studies of public transport services and demonstrate how usability must be prioritised at the policy stage of design if the needs of system users are to be met effectively. French et al. investigate the issue of trust perceptions in e-Banking using a card-sorting probe, and find that the effectiveness of tangible security policies and trust seals may be profoundly influenced by design issues that are actually related to usability. The paper by Beale and Edmondson reports a series of interview-based case studies that reveal the sophisticated multi-tasking behaviours that arise when everyday users interact with multiple computers and displays.
The topic of everyday interaction continues in Section 3, which includes two papers that have a specific focus on Communicating and Sharing Experiences. Dalsgaard et al. present a longitudinal field evaluation of eKISS, a pictureoriented blog that aims to support the sharing of intimate experiences from children to parents whilst physically separated. Social networking and sharing of experiences is also a concern of Bonhard et al., who examine the way in which online recommender systems can benefit from factors such as the inter-personal trust afforded by communities of familiar recommenders with shared interests.
Section 4 turns to the topic of Mobile and Remote Interaction, and presents a set of papers that provide carefully controlled experimental evaluations of people’s interaction with mobile technologies. Lumsden et al. investigate three different commercially available microphones in terms of their efficacy to facilitate speech-based data-entry in mobile contexts. Crease et al. describe a novel evaluation technique for examining mobile usage in a lab setting that requires participants to monitor their environment and alter their route to avoid dynamically changing hazards. In the final paper in this section, Yamashita et al. examine performance decrements when users switch from one mobile phone to another, and they conclude with a multifaceted theoretical account of why evident usability gaps may arise.
Issues relating to the assessment of usability also dominate Section 5 on the topic of Tracking Usability Issues, which involves four papers that present novel techniques for identifying where and why interaction breaks down, as well as new methods for categorising interaction problems and errors. This section begins with Ehmke and Wilson’s exploration of the link between usability problems and eye-movement metrics. As part of their ambitious project they present an initial correlation scheme that associates a diverse set of usability problems with specific eye-tracking patterns. This is an approach that certainly seems to point the way ahead for much eye-tracking and usability research. The following paper by Eger et al. takes a rather different approach to the deployment of eye-tracking data in HCI research, and evaluates a novel method of usability testing that entails the ‘playback’ of dynamic eye-movement scan-paths as a way to cue the elicitation of retrospective verbal reports about system usability. The paper by Vermeeren et al. also examines the efficacy of verbal reporting methods during usability testing, this time with a focus on structured interviewing with young children. The final paper in this section by Kano et al. presents an empirical study on typing errors made by children during a text copy exercise. This study leads to the formulation of an expanded and more detailed method (ExpECT) for classifying typing errors that improves upon existing categorisation schemes.
Section 6 – From Theory to Technique – returns to familiar HCI territory with a set of papers that aim to bridge the gap between theory and method in the design and evaluation of advanced interactive systems. Bowen and Reeves present a case study of how formal models can provide several benefits for user interface design, not least the incorporation of the user interface design process into the larger, formally-based software development process. The topic of software development continues in the paper by Memmel et al., which seeks to close the gap between software engineering and HCI by means of principles from agile engineering approaches such as Extreme Programming and Agile Modelling. Finally, the paper by Johansson and Arvola assesses the potential for user interface sketches, scenarios and prototypes to structure stakeholder meetings during interaction design projects. They conclude that the choice of structuring technique is critically dependent on the composition of the group and the desired focus of the stakeholder meeting.
The last two sections of this volume address issues relating to the ‘new’ HCI. Section 7 – HCI: Surveying the Domain – begins with a paper by Frauenberger et al. that presents a wideranging assessment of current practice in designing the auditory mode in the user interface. Their survey of 86 designers provides valuable insights into the state-of-the art in the field, and allows for the development of a methodological design framework aimed at providing accessible guidance for designers who wish to integrate audio within the interface. The following paper by Cairns surveys the use of inferential statistics over the past two BCS HCI conferences [2, 4] and the last year (2006) of two leading HCI journals. Cairns notes that nearly all of the papers that deployed inferential statistics fell foul of problems (of varying severity) in either their statistical analysis or their reporting of statistical results. Such statistical weaknesses clearly have the potential to undermine the validity of much of this presented research. Cairns concludes with some constructive recommendations for the HCI community that any of us who use inferential statistics would do well to heed. One good starting point would be to take a few days to read through Robert Abelson’s magnificent and illuminating exposition of the ‘real story’ of how to use statistics in research [1].
The three papers in Section 7 on Extending HCI offer highly original approaches and methods for broadening theory and technique to new domains and technologies. Plimmer and Freeman overview the implementation of a sketch toolkit (InkKit) that provides context-free design spaces and a trainable and extensible writing/drawing recognition engine. Their evaluation of InkKit attests to the viability of a toolkit approach to sketched diagram recognition. In the subsequent paper, Metatla et al. describe a novel approach to supporting the non-visual exploration of graphically presented information. The resulting evaluation of their approach indicates that relational information within diagrams can be navigated nonvisually and that aspects of verbal descriptions that are substituted with non-verbal sounds can actually lead to reliable performance improvements. The final paper in this volume by Hall et al. reports on a case study of a novel participatory technique for requirements elicitation based around a photoelicitation approach combined with Lomo photography. The paper presents a unique insight into the use of this approach for designing a multimedia application for children on the theme of water safety.
Within this volume, then, are the very best of the 79 ‘fullpaper’ submissions that the conference received this year. All submissions obtained an average of four external reviews by carefully-matched experts from an extensive set of reviewers that are listed within this volume. As always, we are very grateful for the contribution of these reviewers, and we thank them publicly for their hard work. Following the first-stage external review, all papers were then meta-reviewed by members of the programme committee, who prepared a detailed analysis for discussion at the paper selection meeting.
In contrast to the year of its birth, where all accepted full papers were by UK-based researchers, this 21-year old is clearly a global player, with the majority of the accepted papers being from overseas researchers or involving overseas collaborations. We note with great pleasure that eight countries outside the UK are represented within this volume. Similarly, we are satisfied that the HCI universe does indeed continue to expand beyond our previous horizons; but the HCI community should have no fear in boldly going into these new worlds, to learn from them and share our knowledge. All that remains is for us to commend the selected papers to you, for you to enjoy them, and for each of us to seek to recognise HCI, even when it’s not as we know it.

Preface: “HCI… but not as we know it” – Volume 2
As the British HCI conference has reached its 21st year, it has earned its status as being a conference with a mind of its own – a bit provocative and looking to the future. This is what we have tried to reflect in the Volume 2 proceedings. Short papers are an ideal forum for work in progress and late breaking results. This year we have also included a number of papers that are more thought-provoking, both for the future of HCI and our own practices. As such, this Volume captures exactly what “not as we know it” represents: papers that are all trying to say something new and different, whether at a theoretical level or in terms of research carried out in non-traditional areas or using novel methodologies. The present papers also compliment very effectively the full papers presented in Volume 1, and are categorised under the same themes for presentation at the conference: Creative and Aesthetic Experiences, Everyday Interaction, Communicating and Sharing Experiences, Mobile and Remote Interaction, Tracking Usability Issues, From Theory to Technique, HCI: Surveying the Domain, and Extending HCI.
As well as the 31 short papers and 8 student papers, Volume 2 also includes posters, interactive experiences, panels, organisational overviews, workshops, and tutorials, in addition to papers associated with the HCI practice day and the doctoral consortium. All of these events are at the heart of the conference as they give us the buzz, get us talking in a more informal way about our work, and provide opportunities to present and discuss work that is not yet finalised in the form of a full paper.
All submissions for Volume 2 have been rigorously reviewed using the same process that was applied to the full papers that were submitted to Volume 1. Submissions received an average of four external reviews and were then subjected to further meta-reviewing.
Producing Volume 2 has been the joint effort of the authors, reviewers, category co-chairs and the entire organising committee who contributed much time and effort. We would like to thank all contributors – without you this conference would not exist.
We hope that the essence of British HCI’s 21st birthday has been communicated to you through this Volume.
