Creative AI for HRI Design Explorations
We explore the potential of using generative text-to-image models to overcome design fixation and enhance creative processes in HRI design such as ideating and visualising robotic artifacts and robot sociotechnical imaginaries.
Designing Interactions with Autonomous Vehicles
In an interdisciplinary collaboration between engineering and design we are researching how autonomous vehicles can communicate to pedestrians in shared spaces, and methods of prototyping and evaluating interactions with AVs in VR.
Enhancing Remote User Research through Virtual Experience Prototypes
Building on the notion of experience prototyping, we investigate how this form of early concept exploration can be conducted in remote design exploration sessions using virtual prototype representations.
Prototyping AV-Pedestrian Interfaces
The advent of cyber-physical systems, such as robots and autonomous vehicles, brings new challenges to the domain of human-centred development. We developed a tangible multi-display toolkit approach to support collaborative design explorations for AV-pedestrian interfaces.
Ambient Lighting Display as Gateway to Internet-of-Things Services
We developed the “Light Shifting Display” – a novel type of low-resolution lighting display that presents real-time ambient information. The prototype was evaluated in three households over several weeks, displaying energy performance data.
Participation+
Participation+ was a media architecture installation exhibited at the Vivid Sydney festival. Participation+ uses modular display cells to support adaptable public media environments that can be easily changed in response to on-site conditions.
Sketching-in-Light
Sketching-in-Light is a toolkit to assist with designing and evaluating the characteristics of low resolution lighting displays as well as content variations using different materials without requiring any previous expertise in hardware prototyping.
Hybrid Media Display
This research project investigated how real-time data can be visualised in smart cities using a media architecture approach. To investigate this matter, we developed an ambient display connected to open public transport data and tested various visualisations.
LightBricks
LightBricks is intended to build miniature models of low-resolution media facades and pretest visual content. It helps design teams to explore media architecture, interactivity and lighting design rapidly and at low cost.
