I am a research fellow at Horizon Digital Economy Research, which is at the University of Nottingham. I am also affiliated to the Mixed Reality Lab. Before this, I was at the University of Glasgow for some time, and before that, I did my PhD research at the Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham, under the supervision of Steve Benford and Claire O'Malley (I was examined by Paul Luff and Boriana Koleva).
I'm interested in the social features of interaction with technology located `in the wild', and how studies of these settings can inform the design of interactive technologies. Mostly this work has been driven through developing, deploying and evaluating interaction in public and semi-public settings such as museums and galleries, crowded urban locations, and artistic or performance events taking place anywhere from city streets to dedicated venues. Much of my work has examined the importance of spectatorship within these spaces, but it has also addressed more generally how we design for a variety of forms of technological engagements in public.
For further details on my research interests and work, please see my research statement page.
Visit my notes on research blog for up-to-date information on my research work.
My selected publications and a full list of publications (both with PDFs where possible) are available; I also have a Google Scholar page and a page on Academia.edu. You can also get hold of some technical reports (note: please don't use quotations from any of the reports that are listed.)
Designing interfaces in public settings: Understanding the Role of the Spectator in Human-Computer Interaction is a book based on my PhD work, and was published by Springer in 2011. The pages below provide further details on the particulars of the projects that I was involved in during this work:
Before the advent of my research blog I created individual webpages about projects I have been involved in. These are available below:
I used to teach a few lectures on CSCW and Ubicomp for the Glasgow DCS HCI4 course. Visit my intro to CSCW and Ubicomp page.
There is also a Java notes page that may be useful to students learning Java. And a page on C++.
Other assorted miscellaneous things that don't fit anywhere but might be of use / interest to someone out there. HOW-TOs and stuff like that:
