“…HCI has explored a variety of ways we use technology to preserve and connect with past memories. Such studies address the ways we use physical and digital mementos for family remembering [e.g., 25,5,22] as well as the ways that interaction with digital mementos varies across generations, e.g., children [11], teenagers and college students [24,3], and seniors [26]. Such memory objects are increasingly hybrid, blurring the boundary between physical and digital, and are often shared and gifted [30,35] across a variety of contexts.…”

We investigate a speculative future in which we celebrate happiness by capturing laughter and representing it in tangible forms. We explored technologies for capturing naturally occurring laughter as well as various physical representations of it. For several weeks, our participants collected audio samples of everyday conversations with their loved ones. We processed those samples through a machine learning algorithm and shared the resulting tangible representations (e.g., physical containers and edible displays) with our participants. In collecting, listening to, interacting with, and sharing their laughter with loved ones, participants described both joy in preserving and interacting with laughter and tension in collecting it. This study revealed that the tangibility of laughter representations matters, especially its symbolism and material quality. We discuss design implications of giving permanent forms to laughter and consider the sound of laughter as a part of our personal past that we might seek to preserve and reflect upon. Figure 1.

CHI 2018 Paper CHI 2018, April 21-26, 2018, Montréal, QC, Canada Paper 358 DESIGN PROCESSWe began our design exploration by brainstorming, sketching, and mocking up a variety of representations. In exploring representations of laughter, we grappled with questions around what constitutes a single laugh and considered variables such as a laugh's duration, frequency, and intensity. We thought about higher-level sound qualities such as those of a deep belly chuckle vs. a higher pitched giggle. Finally, we reflected on how very personal and unique the sound of each person's laugh can be, especially to their loved ones.

“…HCI scholars have long been exploring how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can better enhance the quality of life for the ageing population [4,8,13,23,39,67,80,92]. Their focus primarily centers on addressing age-related limitations, such as reduced social connectedness and physical decline [62,65,76,86]. However, the difficulty that ageing people face in seeking jobs, which naturally increases with age [35,51,90,95,95], is often overlooked.…”

In recent years, the global unemployment rate has remained persistently high. Compounding this issue, the ageing population in China often encounters additional challenges in finding employment due to prevalent age discrimination in daily life. However, with the advent of social media, there has been a rise in the popularity of short videos and live-streams for recruiting ageing workers. To better understand the motivations of ageing job seekers to engage with these video-based recruitment methods and to explore the extent to which such platforms can empower them, we conducted an interview-based study with ageing job seekers who have had exposure to these short recruitment videos and live-streaming channels. Our findings reveal that these platforms can provide a job-seeking choice that is particularly friendly to ageing job seekers, effectively improving their disadvantaged situation.

“…On the other hand, as a consequence of "prosthetic imagination", technical solutions may emphasise a standardised or universal expectation of human life, being designed to compensate for a perceived lack of "normal" human capabilities (Blackwell, 2010;Ferrario et al, 2017). For example, tools that help provoke memory and reminiscence have been overtly developed to compensate for dementia, and those with a "prosthetic" view of technology tend to replace the missing capability caused by dementia rather than supporting existing capabilities (Alm et al, 2003;Piper et al, 2013;Riley et al, 2009). Prosthetic systems may not be appropriate for healthy and active older people and may even isolate or stigmatise them.…”

Understanding Meaningful Participation and the Situated Use of Technology in Community Music for Active Ageing

An unfortunate tendency in previous HCI research has been to give the impression that it aims to ‘fix the problem’ of human ageing, suggesting a ‘deficit’ model of ageing or a ‘prosthetic’ model of technology. We conducted diary-aided interviews to investigate how technology use is situated in active, healthy older adults’ meaningful participation in community music. We argue that recognizing community music practices and technology use as situated action provides opportunities to grasp the subtleties of social participation and design for active ageing. We identified technology-mediated music practices, such as music sharing and revisiting, and how they evolved through the reconfiguration of connections between technology, competence, and forward-facing identities. We found that identity development, via routes such as exercising control, role transitions, and social spaces, had psychological significance and implications for active ageing. We explore how HCI leverages the perspective of active ageing and might facilitate older adults’ meaningful participation enhanced by technologies.
