RESEARCH PROGRAMME
Collaboration, engagement, and the design process

The central focus of my research programme is on understanding how to design for mutually engaging interaction. Ongoing research includes the development of novel group music improvisation tools such as Daisyphone. These tools are used to systematically investigate the nature of mutual engagement in collaborative interaction. Such work has ben partly funded by an ESPRC funded research project on Engaging Collaborations. A key focus my research is haptic and non-screen based collaborative engagement with interactive music and collaboration such as work on uPoi - a wireless exertion interface for collective ad-hoc audiovisual performances. We have explored uPoi's use in the harsh environment of the UK music festival and club scene. I was also involved in creating the world's first interactive 3D soundscape driven by acceleration data with Jennifer Sheridan of BigDog Interactive, and Martyn Ware of Illustrious.

I am a Panel member for the NSF CreativeIT program, participated in consultation on the European Commission's FET programme in Creativity and ICT, editor for a special issue of the CoDesign Journal on collaborative creativity, and editing a special issue of the International Journal of Arts and Technology on Whole Body Interaction, and I am a reviewer for: Behaviour & Information Technology Journal, the Computer Music Journal, Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal.

TEACHING
I am a Senior Lecture at Queen Mary, University of London on Graphic User Interfaces and Computer Mediated Communication, and supervise projects on interactive music or user interface design. Also, undergraduate admissions tutor for Computer Science. I supervise undergrad and masters projects which focus on multi-person interaction with and through sound. Previous projects included Antonella Mazzoni's explroations of mutli-touch and tangible interfaces for sound manipulation, David Meckin's mechanical sound devices for children with special educational needs, and David McCrae's studies of lego based interfaces for playlist creation.

Student Project Topics for QM students - Keywords: Design, Implement, Evaluate, Music, Interaction, HCI, Interface design, Sonification, Analytics, Pattern matching, Information Retrieval

My projects are all in the area of Interactional Sound and Music - the interactive use of audio from the workplace to interactive art for multi-person interaction. All projects involve programming (some more than others). No projects necessarily require musical knowledge or experience. Design+Implementation+Evaluation projects include:

  • Interactive and Networked Music - creating new kinds of musical interaction where multiple people create music at once e.g. new version of Daisyphone
  • Augmented Instruments - adding to existing musical instruments e.g. changing the way a guitar works
  • Cross-modal Interaction - using sound and haptics to represent information e.g. sonification of UML diagrams

AND THE REST...

In the old days I co-directed Optic Experience Design; it was a rather fine user experience consultancy.
