As knowledge around bio-digital interaction continues to unfold, there are new opportunities for HCI researchers to integrate biology as a design and computational material. Our …
The nascent field of biodesign uses the biological affordances of organisms to address some user need. These can range from the development of novel materials, which the …
The nascent field of biodesign creates novel applications of life sciences through design methods. Biodesign has the potential to shift interactive computational systems from using …
DIYbio (Do It Yourself Biology) aims to'open source', tinker and experiment with biology outside of professional settings. In this paper, we present the origins, practices, and …
There are trillions of living biological" computers" on, inside, and around the human body: microbes. Microbes have the potential to enhance human-computer interaction (HCI) in …
The home is a place of shelter, a place for family, and for separation from other parts of life, such as work. Global challenges, the most pressing of which are currently the COVID-19 …
Living media interfaces (LMIs) have emerged as a new way to interact with digital systems by incorporating actual living organisms in user interfaces. There is increasing interest in …
There is increasing interest within the HCI community about working with living organisms in the design of interactive systems. Bioartists and community lab participants have worked …
Alongside an expanding community of non-professional biologists, DIYbio is beginning to emerge as a fledgling sub-domain of HCI. However, this emerging subdomain is yet to be in …
