“…• from independent adult participants (so they would have agency to participate as they wished, without being overridden by parents [14], carers, bosses or other authority figures [42]), • of real wearable technology probes [20] (devices with minimum functionality to test the experience of wearing the device in reality, and as a perceptual bridge [3] between the real world and the storyworld), • for everyday connected wearables [36] (i.e wearables for everyday situations, that send or receive data, and are worn solely out of choice and not necessity -this meant no medical, safety-critical, or occupational devices; and no devices with electronic components but without connectivity),…”

“…Cue Frauenberger [17] on "Entanglement HCI", expressing considerable angst about Actor-Network Theory, Object-Oriented Ontology and Postphenomenology. Here is my opportunity to show that the main design artefact of my own research -the Gallery Necklace [36] -is in a totally different relation to the wearer than Ihde [21] ever even noticed. Ryan's 2014 book [40] about the history of wearables remarked on the postphenomenologist's inattention to wearables, with a sidelong glance at Barthes into the bargain.…”

“…Combining design fiction and participatory design methods has become increasingly popular in HCI research, including in wearables research [76], intimate artefacts [77], and UTI treatments [78]. Nagele et al [78] particularly identify the value of using participatory design fiction methods with vulnerable users by better representing and valuing the opinions and experiences of individuals whose experiences lie outside of the societal "norm."…”

Accessible Gaming Wearables: Opportunities for Players with Upper Limb Motor Disabilities

There has been increased interest in how wearables can offer new avenues of interaction in video games. However, understanding how wearable devices can support accessible gaming is missing. My research aims to explore this potential with users with upper limb motor disabilities to understand their experiences with video games and wearable devices. My thesis is divided into two parts. Firstly, I interviewed gamers with upper limb motor disabilities to understand their lived experiences in playing video games and using wearable technology. Secondly, I explored the design space of accessible gaming wearables using participatory design fiction sessions to envision the future of wearable technology and accessible video games. My study also offers methodological contributions to the HCI community by demonstrating how dialogic/performance analysis can be applied to participatory design fiction research.Though narrative inquiry is often used in HCI, specifically using the method of dialogic/performance analysis to analyze narrative inquiry data is less often used. This research provides a detailed example of how this analysis method can be utilized in HCI research.
