Abstract

Culturally embedded computing describes one vision of human-computer interaction (HCI) thatsituates embedded computing not only in the physical world but also explicitly in society, individualexperience, culture, and history. Five projects explore alternatives to traditional HCI design andevaluation inspired by this shift in emphasis. These projects highlight approaches to technologydesign that support critical reflection on the role of technology in society. Designed for fuzzyaspects of personal experience, the projects contextualize technology with reference to culture andhistory. In particular, the design of ubiquitous devices is part of a longer history of technologiesfor the home. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the project team is developing algorithms, devices, and user studies that situate technology within its broader meaning for human life.
