ABSTRACT
Mobile and ubiquitous computing systems are increasingly of interest to HCI researchers. Often, this has meant considering the ways in which we might migrate desktop applications and everyday usage scenarios to mobile devices and mobile contexts. However, we do not just experience technologies in situ -- we also experience everyday settings through the technologies we have at our disposal. Drawing on anthropological research, I outline an alternative way of thinking about the relationship between technology and "seeing" everyday life and everyday space.

Seeing Work: Constructing Visions of Work in and through Data
GROUP '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group WorkMy dissertation research explores the role technologies play in shaping how work practices are seen, imagined, and valued. I focus on how data remnants and traces, the technological residue left in the wake of human-computer interactions, become anchors ...
"Seeing like a rover": embodied experience on the mars exploration rover mission
CHI EA '08: CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsAlthough they work with two non-humanoid robots located several million miles away, the distributed team that operates the Mars Exploration Rovers demonstrates an uncanny sympathy for their robotic teammates. This paper examines not only how the Rovers ...
Methodological Reflections on Ways of Seeing
CHI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe computer as a creative medium has largely influenced how we make, use, and share images. This study investigates how similarly or distinctively human designers and the computers see (i.e., process visual information from the activity of seeing) in ...
