“…Moving away from the audience-performer dynamic, related case studies [49,103,104] demonstrate how social encounters can be mediated through embodied sensor data. We would like to further investigate this approach to engage multiple users simultaneously, in this instance, representing an assembly of interpersonal distances through sound…”

Within the field of movement sensing and sound interaction research, multi-user systems have gradually gained interest as a means to facilitate an expressive non-verbal dialogue. When tied with studies grounded in psychology and choreographic theory, we consider the qualities of interaction that foster an elevated sense of social connectedness, non-contingent to occupying one’s personal space. In reflection of the newly adopted social distancing concept, we orchestrate a technological intervention, starting with interpersonal distance and sound at the core of interaction. Materialised as a set of sensory face-masks, a novel wearable system was developed and tested in the context of a live public performance from which we obtain the user’s individual perspectives and correlate this with patterns identified in the recorded data. We identify and discuss traits of the user’s behaviour that were accredited to the system’s influence and construct 4 fundamental design considerations for physically distanced sound interaction. The study concludes with essential technical reflections, accompanied by an adaptation for a pervasive sensory intervention that’s finally deployed in an open public space.

“…For example, the Memstone [5] is a tangible interface to control sharing of personalized video data with others. Physio-Stacks [31] and TOBE [16] follow a similar approach, however, the focus is on sharing personal physiological data with others to support extrospection. Other related interface concepts which focus on exploring one's own data, i.e.…”

Routines are an important element of day-to-day work life, supporting people in structuring their day around required tasks. Efectively managing these routines is, however, experienced as challenging by many -an issue further amplifed by the current work from home lockdown measures. In this paper we present Rainmaker, a tangible device to support people in their working life in the context of their own homes. We evaluate and iterate on our prototype through two qualitative studies, spanning respectively three days (N = 11) and 15 days (N = 2). Our results highlight the perceived advantages of the use of a primarily physical rather than digital tool for work support, allowing users to stay focused on their tasks and refect on their work achievements. We present lessons for future work in This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution International 4.0 License.
