Had the pleasure of visiting IT University Copenhagen and meet Mike, Rune and @elisamekler. I presented my research in modeling interactive experiences with "Aiming, Pointing, Steering" which won the best paper award at the CHI PLAY conference last year. The paper presents basic interaction patterns that games are built of, more info here:

Thanks Elisa and Mike for the arrangements!

We’ve redesigned mobile email replies - with & without AI. Tap sentences while reading to enter local responses (or get suggestions). Then connect them on a usual draft screen (or let AI do just that). Result: Flexible workflows with varying speed and control. #CHI2025 preprint in comments.

New washing machine was installed yesterday and today I’m seriously considering making a spreadsheet of all the programmes. Or maybe an iPhone app.

30 years ago on my Human-Computer Interaction post-grad we studied the usability failings of VCRs. It appears that washing machines are the rightful heir to this infamy.

The manufacturer is clearly aware of this as the machine has a “fuck it / don’t care” button.

We introduce the "Witness Experience Inventory", a new method to better understand how other people (not the user) experience interactions with technology in social situations. This turns out to be quite challenging, which we lament in some detail, but we also offer a middle-ground that acknowledges the complexity and produces actionable insights.
