1. 1. Here and now : Foundations and practice of human-experiential design

   Författare :Kei Hoshi; Eva Waterworth; John Waterworth; David Benyon; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Dichotomy; Embodiment; Blended Reality; Experiential Design; Human-Computer Interaction; Health Care; Special Needs; Tangible Presence; Here and Now; computer and systems sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis claims that an experiential approach to design really does promise the possibility of scientific design of everyday life. The purpose of this thesis is to show the promise. René Descartes conceptualized the classical formulation of a mind-body dichotomy. LÄS MER

3. 2. Crossing Boundaries : Transferring eHealth services across the Northern Periphery

   Författare :Ulla-Maija Pesola; Eva Lindh Waterworth; John Waterworth; Mark Chignell; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; eHealth; eHealth transfer; IT implementation; health care; toolkit; eHIT; normalisation; organisational readiness;

   Sammanfattning : Health care organisations in Finland, Norway, Scotland and Sweden face similar challenges when it comes to providing health services in the sparsely populated rural areas. Vast distances, centralized health services, harsh climate and limited access to public transport can make accessing health services difficult. LÄS MER

4. 3. In Romance with the Materials of Mobile Interaction : A Phenomenological Approach to the Design of Mobile Information Technology

   Författare :Daniel Fällman; John A. Waterworth; Pieter Jan Stappers; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Människa-dator-interaktion; Mobile Interaction; Embodiment; Phenomenology; Design; Human-Computer Interaction; Människa-dator-interaktion; Information technology; Informationsteknologi; människa-datorinteraktion; människa-datorinteraktion;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals analytically and through design with the issue of Human­Computer Interaction (HCI) with mobile devices; mobile interaction. Specifically, it is an investigation into and a capitalization on the multistable kinds of relations that arise between the threefold of human user, artifact, and world, and how dealing with this kind of technology and these relations in many ways must be regarded as different from mainstream HCI.

5. 4. Human-computer interaction principles for developing web-based genomics resources

   Författare :Chanaka Mannapperuma; Nathaniel Street; John Waterworth; Marek Mutwil; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Genomics projects, including genome sequencing, transcriptomics, genome-wide association mapping and epigenetics assays, producevast quantities of data. Extracting the required information from such complex datasets is a significant challenge and even where software tools do exist, these are often not intuitive or designed fornon-specialist users.

7. 5. Reality-based brain-computer interaction

   Författare :Daniel Sjölie; Lars-Erik Janlert; Johan Eriksson; John Waterworth; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; reality-based brain-computer interaction; virtual reality; reality-based interaction; brain-computer interface; activity theory; the free-energy principle; grounded cognition; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap; Computer science; Datalogi; människa-datorinteraktion; människa-datorinteraktion;

   Sammanfattning : Recent developments within human-computer interaction (HCI) and cognitive neuroscience have come together to motivate and enable a framework for HCI with a solid basis in brain function and human reality. Human cognition is increasingly considered to be critically related to the development of human capabilities in the everyday environment (reality). LÄS MER
