- A novel approach to extending how communities can voice their opinions. Multiple IoT devices were designed and tested to trigger social interaction before being placed in a socially divided high street in Cambridge. Findings from an in-the-wild study elicited 1000s of opinions; these were aggregated as a ‘street’ visualization, that resulted in much public debate. The methodology has since been re-used in large-scale festivals in Birmingham and Leeds (https://redhawklogistica.com/measures-of-us) and by Microsoft researchers to explore how communities, that may be socially divided, can come together. The work has been presented at keynotes at several European HCI and UX conferences.
