“…We began this project by co-speculating the effects of whispering, why we whisper, and how it could be used as an interaction mode in the future. Speculating on futures, bounded by our individual experiences and social points of view, requires a set of minds to co-speculate [6] to combine different perspectives into particular possible futures. To explore the future of whispering voice assistants, we conducted a 2-hour co-speculation workshop.…”

We present a Research through Design project that explores how whispering influences the ways people experience and interact with voice assistants. The research project includes a co-speculation workshop and the use of a design probe, which culminated in the production of a design fiction short film. Our design-led inquiry contributes with experiential qualities of whispering with voice assistants: creepiness, trust, and intimacy. Furthermore, we present how whispering opens up new dimensions of how and when voice interaction could be used. We propose that designers of whispering voice assistants should reflect on how they facilitate the experiential qualities of creepiness, trust, and intimacy, and reflect on the potential challenges whispering brings to the relation between a user and a voice assistant.

“…The authors attributed this need to the inherent tensions of a home on wheels. Using booklets of conceptual sketches, Desjardins et al [10] engaged in co-speculation about new possible avenues of Internet of Things (IoT) system design with 16 participants living in nonconventional homes. Two lived together in a van.…”

“…Previous work in HCI has investigated non-traditional homes, either as new areas for design [10,11,43] or to look at the motivations and implications of nomadic homes or work practices [8,15,33,34,39]. For example, Rossitto et al [35] investigated literature around nomadic cultures, and noted a requirement for more diverse papers beyond just nomadic work.…”

Research on how lived experiences with technology intersect with home and work are core themes within HCI. Prior work has primarily focused on conventional life and work in Western countries. However, the unconventional is becoming conventional-several rising subcultures are coming into prominence due to socio-economic pressures, aided by social media. One example-#vanlife-is now practised by an estimated three million people in North America. #vanlife combines travel, home, and work by their occupants (vanlifers) living full-time in cargo vans that they usually convert themselves into living spaces. We present a portrait of vanlifers' current technology practices gleaned through~200 hours of fieldwork and interviews. Following a thematic analysis of our data, we identified unique opportunities for integrating technology across culture, design, homesteading, offline organization, and gaming. We have distilled these opportunities into eleven provocations to inspire critical design and informed inquiry for technological interventions for #vanlife.

“…First, we need consider how we, as researchers, can better involve people, individuals, and organizations in speculative research. Recent work in HCI and design has engaged these questions, informing co-speculators [26], media stakeholders and cultural commentators [39,40], or producing platforms for communities to express preferable futures [16,54,71,97]. In the broadest sense, there is an opportunity to consider the extent to which design futuring can become a more participatory practice.…”

Design futuring approaches, such as speculative design, design fiction and others, seek to (re)envision futures and explore alternatives. As design futuring becomes established in HCI design research, there is an opportunity to expand and develop these approaches. To that end, by reflecting on our own research and examining related work, we contribute five modes of reflection. These modes concern formgiving, temporality, researcher positionality, real-world engagement, and knowledge production. We illustrate the value of each mode through careful analysis of selected design exemplars and provide questions to interrogate the practice of design futuring. Each reflective mode offers productive resources for design practitioners and researchers to articulate their work, generate new directions for their work, and analyze their own and others' work.
