  • Exploring Ambient Air Quality Notifications for Smart Rooms
    Chi Tai Dang, Ilhan Aslan, Andreas Seiderer, Elisabeth André, Proceedings of the 6th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good (GoodTech 2020) (Antwerp, Belgium). ACM.

    Many regular meeting participants know the atmosphere of a meeting in a closed room when the air becomes stifling and uncomfortable. With increased concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), the cognitive performance of participants can also suffer as a result. Therefore, it makes sense to retrofit such meeting rooms with smarthome technology to improve the air quality. However, existing meeting rooms often do not have built-in ventilation systems …

  • PiHearts: Resonating Experiences of Self and Others Enabled by a Tangible Somaesthetic Design
    Ilhan Aslan, Andreas Seiderer, Chi Tai Dang, Simon Raedler, Elisabeth André, Proceedings of the 22nd ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2020) (Utrecht, the Netherlands). ACM.

    A human’s heart beating can be sensed by sensors and displayed for others to see, hear, feel, and (what we want to argue) potentially “resonate” with. Previous work in studying interaction designs with physiological data, such as a heart’s pulse rate, have argued that feeding it back to the users may, for example support users’ mindfulness and self-awareness during various everyday activities and ultimately support their health and wellbeing. Inspired by Somaesthetics as a discipline, we designed and explored multimodal displays, which enable experiencing heart beats as natural stimuli from oneself and others in social proximity …

  • Synthesising Expressive Speech – Which Synthesiser for VOCAs?
    Jan-Oliver Wuelfing, Chi Tai Dang, Elisabeth André, TSD 2020, Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue (TSD 2020) (Brno, Czech Republic). Springer.

    In the context of people with complex communication needs who depend on Voice Output Communication Aids, the ability of speech synthesisers to convey not only sentences, but also emotions would be a great enrichment. The latter is essential and very natural in interpersonal speech communication. Hence, we are interested in the expressiveness of speech synthesisers and their perception. We present the results of a study in which 82 participants listened to different synthesised sentences with different emotional contours from three synthesisers …

  • Resonating Experiences of Self and Others enabled by a Tangible Somaesthetic Design
    Ilhan Aslan, Andreas Seiderer, Chi Tai Dang, Simon Rädler, Elisabeth André,
    arXiv.

    Digitalization is penetrating every aspect of everyday life including a human’s heart beating, which can easily be sensed by wearable sensors and displayed for others to see, feel, and potentially “bodily resonate” with. Previous work in studying human interactions and interaction designs with physiological data, such as a heart’s pulse rate, have argued that feeding it back to the users may, for example support users’ mindfulness and self-awareness during various everyday activities and ultimately support their wellbeing. Inspired by Somaesthetics as a discipline, which focuses on an appreciation of the living body’s role in all our experiences, we designed and explored mobile tangible heart beat displays, which enable rich forms of bodily experiencing oneself and others in social proximity. In this paper …

  • Towards Somaesthetic Smarthome Designs: Exploring Potentials and Limitations of an Affective Mirror
    Chi Tai Dang, Ilhan Aslan, Florian Lingenfelser, Tobias Baur, and Elisabeth André,
    IoT 2019, Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IoT 2019) (Bilbao, Spain). ACM, NY, USA.

    Have you ever experienced a mirror that not only “sees” how you see yourself, but tells you how others perceive you? May such a smartmirror help not only adapt/improve oneself externally (look) but also internally (mood, emotions)? What are the expectations, fears (privacy)? The acceptance of such a smart thing requires approaches that go beyond technology-driven designs. In this paper …

    Andreas Seiderer, Chi Tai Dang and Elisabeth André,
    IoT 2019, Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IoT 2019) (Bilbao, Spain). ACM, NY, USA.

    Gas sensors using the low-priced MOS technique face several problems that reduce their applicability for classification tasks. In literature, several methods can be found that try to alleviate these problems. In this paper, we focus on the problem that the behavior of different sensors (of same type) results in different data even for the same gas concentrations …

  • Put that Hologram there – Probing Mobile Interaction Experiences for a Vision of Mixed Material Public Spaces
    Ilhan Aslan, Chi Tai Dang, Ruben Schlagowski, Michael Dietz, Fabian Brain, and Elisabeth André,
    IoT 2019, Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IoT 2019) (Bilbao, Spain). ACM, NY, USA.

    The materiality of urban spaces has been changing by progress and consequently the way we, as townsmen or visitors, interact in these spaces is changing. For example, within the last decade using a mobile digital bus ticket has become a common practice in many cities around the world. Contemporary progress in mobile augmented reality technologies has already introduced novel pervasive displays, such as Microsoft’s HoloLens, which allows to display mixed realities containing tangible real and “intangible” holographic objects. Now, we seem to be at a crossroads …

  • Indoor Air Quality and Wellbeing – Enabling Awareness and Sensitivity with Ambient IoT Displays
    Andreas Seiderer, Ilhan Aslan, Chi Tai Dang and Elisabeth André,
    AmI 2019, Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI 2019) (Rome, Italy). Springer.

    The quality of indoor air exerts influence on the wellbeing of people. However, people rarely notice a constant and creeping deterioration of indoor air. Especially in enclosed places where several people get together, like meeting rooms, school rooms and public transportation, bad air quality might cause a reduction of cognitive performance, increased headache, fatigue and sleepiness. This paper describes and discusses a privacy respecting system, built with low cost IoT components and open-source software, that …

  • Of Smarthomes, IoT Plants, and Implicit Interaction Design
    Björn Bittner, Ilhan Aslan, Chi Tai Dang, and Elisabeth André,
    TEI 2019, Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (Tempe, Arizona, USA). ACM, NY, USA.

    There seems to be a danger to carelessly replace routine tasks in homes through automation with IoT-technology. But since routines such as watering houseplants also have positive influences on inhabitants’ wellbeing, they should be transformed through carefully performed designs. To this end, an attempt to use technology for augmenting a set of houseplants’ non-verbal communication capabilities is presented. First, we describe in detail how implicit interactions have been designed to support inhabitants in watering their plants through meaningful interactions. Then, we report on a field study …

    Andreas Seiderer, Chi Tai Dang, Elisabeth André,
    Fullpaper, ICOST 2017, Proceedings of the 15th International Conference On Smart homes and health Telematics (Paris, France), Springer.

    Smart home technology became more and more widespread within recent years. They aim to make life easier and taking over unwanted tasks. In traditional homes, it is often not clear whether all windows and doors of a house are closed before inhabitants leave the home or go to sleep. However, this can be easily addressed by smart homes. We present a system based on opportunistically located ambient lights that assist inhabitants of a smart home in answering this question …

  • Tabletop Interaction Beyond Touch – Interaction On, Above, Around, and Across Tabletop Surfaces
    Chi Tai Dang
    Dissertation 2016, Augsburg University (Germany)

    Interactive or digital tabletops are table-like embedded computing systems, which provide a large unified display and input surface. Touch input and tangible artifacts on the tabletop surface represent the most prominent, thus, most often implemented input mechanisms. However, digital tabletops provide much more potential for interaction techniques …
