Researchers have been exploring how incorporating care-based interactions can change
the user's attitude & relationship towards an interactive device. This is typically achieved …

Our bodies are home to an unseen ecosystem of microbes that live in symbiosis with us. In
this work, we extend the “human” in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to include these …

Providing electrical power is essential for nearly all interactive technologies, yet it often
remains an afterthought. Some designs handwave power altogether as an “exercise for …

In recent years, there has been a notable proliferation and diversification of works in HCI,
that integrate living microorganisms; an imperative lifeform dominating ecosystems of our …

We present an interactive breastplate grown and fabricated from SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture
Of Bacteria and Yeast) biofilm over the course of 13 weeks. Challenging the fail-fast and …

A woven textile-form is a form that is constructed simultaneously as the textile is woven.
Interfaces designed with this approach hold undisclosed potential for rich interactions …

Technology embeddedness in HCI textiles has great potential for enabling novel
interactions and enriched experiences, but unless carefully designed, could inadvertently …

This paper offers a taxonomy of digital tools for crafting habitabilities in biodesign practices.
Over the past decade, interest has grown among design and Human-Computer Interaction …

Microbes offer designers opportunities to endow artefacts with environmental sensing and
adapting abilities, and unique expressions. However, microbe-embedded artefacts present …

HCI designers increasingly engage in the integration of microbes into artefacts, leveraging
their distinct biological affordances for novel interactions. While in many explorations the …
