    Embedded Computation versus Embodied Interaction: Connected Objects for Connected Thinking
    (i-com: Vol. 17, No. 3, 2018) Hemmert, Fabian; Bradford, Elizabeth; Caetano, Erik; Kegel, Friedrich; Licht, Eva; Höwer, Marco
    What will future creativity-based work in collaboration with ubiquitous, AI-driven systems be like? In this paper, we argue that following a ‘tangible interaction’ approach can be beneficial in this context. We describe six connected objects that illustrate how the quality of future creative work could be designed. The objects aim to shape embedded computation in ways that support embodied interaction. They include a place for sacrificing one’s phone, an olfactory calendar, a reader/writer for cloud data in everyday objects, a concrete-based data logger, a slot machine for recombining old ideas into new ones, and a dimmer for artificial intelligence. We summarize the results of a critical reflection of the prototypes in an argument for designing interactions that foster collaborative creative processes between embodied humans in a world of embedded computation.

    SandExplorer: Exploring Geospatial Data, Grain by Grain
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Tagungsband, 2019) Kegel, Friedrich; Hemmert, Fabian
    In this paper, we introduce SandExplorer: a device to physically explore geospatial data by creating a 2.5-dimensional, topographic sand sculpture. This sculpture is created semi-manually, by moving a handle over a sandbox, which serves as a plotting canvas. The sandbox' shape represents the geospatial region the data is about. The amount of sand flowing from the system's sand reservoir through the handle is regulated by a mapping algorithm, depending on the underlying data. Using SandExplorer, users can playfully create a sand-based, physical yet malleable representation of the data.
