    17th Workshop "Be-greifbare Interaktion"
    (Mensch und Computer 2024 - Workshopband, 2024) van Koningsbruggen, Rosa; Delgado Rodriguez, Sarah; Maierhöfer, Vitus; Waldschütz, Hannes; Youssef, Yara; Kullmann, Max; Nischwitz, Lena
    Tangible interaction centers around the manipulation of physical objects and the usage of our bodies, thus involving the environment and physical context stronger than visual or speech-based interfaces. The wide range of possibilities for integrating sensors and computing systems into the physical environment provides ample design space. The research field of Tangible Interaction investigates this scope, to enable meaningful and human-oriented applications. In this workshop, the German Informatics Society (GI) specialist group “Be-greifbare Interaktion” of the Department of Human-Computer Interaction offers a forum for scientific discourse and interdisciplinary discussion. Contributions range from theoretical, critical and forward-looking reflections, to design work and practical implementations. This year’s theme is “Back to Basics”, exploring how tangibles can be used for learning and how to design for them. The workshop opens the discussion to a broader audience of experts and students, to disclose current developments and generate new impulses for the research field.

    User Perceptions and Experiences with Smart Homes - The Smart Home as an Obedient Guard Dog, Disinterested Cat, Ambitious Octopus or Busy Beehive
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Schulz, Annika Sabrina; Youssef, Yara; Beruscha, Frank; Hornecker, Eva
    We investigated people’s experience with living in shared smart homes, involving both smart home initiators and maintainers (primary users) as well as other inhabitants (secondary users). Through a cultural probe study with 35 participants from 16 shared homes and follow-up interviews with a subset, we gained insights into people’s understanding of smart home technology, their ideas for the future, their experiences with the technology, and how they relate to their smart home. Our findings highlight how the role taken (primary or secondary user) influences how smart homes are experienced and understood in everyday life, and how ’smartness’ is defined. The study further investigates how people describe their smart home ’as a living being’, yielding a wide range of animal metaphors, that reveal character traits that people associate with smart home technology.
