abstract = {Driven by the rapid pace of technical innovation in biosensing, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and wearable computing, the next generation of smart devices will be worn on-body, eventually becoming implanted. The increasing presence of these new forms of interactive technologies, known as biowearables, in children’s lives poses critical ethical concerns. In this position paper, we take a design ethics perspective to identify and describe four cases of ethical importance associated with biowearables, children, and long-term use. The cases concern potential negative impacts of specific aspects of biowearables on children’s identity formation, the development of autonomy and agency, and what sources of information children turn to for authority about themselves.

Driven by the rapid pace of technical innovation in biosensing, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and wearable computing, the next generation of smart devices will be worn on-body, eventually becoming implanted. The increasing presence of these new forms of interactive technologies, known as biowearables, in children’s lives poses critical ethical concerns. In this position paper, we take a design ethics perspective to identify and describe four cases of ethical importance associated with biowearables, children, and long-term use. The cases concern potential negative impacts of specific aspects of biowearables on children’s identity formation, the development of autonomy and agency, and what sources of information children turn to for authority about themselves.

We explore this design space by investigating systems that can allow 9cscwp1 callers to stream a surreptitious video call of an assailant. This paper explores a specific scenario where the person trapped may not be in direct danger from the assailant but is still present in the vicinity. We introduce -Covert-Glass', technology-enhanced glasses that aid callers to conduct a surreptitious 9cscwp1 video call. The glasses guide a person to control the direction of his/her phone camera based on the 9cscwp1 operator's input. 9cscwp1 call takers send remote signals to the user's device and these appear as haptic vibrations on either side of the glasses.},

In the future, emergency calls to the number 9cscwp1 in North America will include the ability to make video calls with 9cscwp1 call centers yet little is known about how to design such technologies, so they map to people's real emergency needs. We explore this design space by investigating systems that can allow 9cscwp1 callers to stream a surreptitious video call of an assailant. This paper explores a specific scenario where the person trapped may not be in direct danger from the assailant but is still present in the vicinity. We introduce -Covert-Glass', technology-enhanced glasses that aid callers to conduct a surreptitious 9cscwp1 video call. The glasses guide a person to control the direction of his/her phone camera based on the 9cscwp1 operator's input. 9cscwp1 call takers send remote signals to the user's device and these appear as haptic vibrations on either side of the glasses.

abstract = {Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have been suggested to have the potential to support learning for children. Despite the increasing number of TUI reading systems there are few design guidelines for children, especially for those with dyslexia (a specific difficulty in language acquisition skills). In this paper we discuss four design opportunities and five design recommendations for designing tangible reading systems for children, particularly those with dyslexia. We ground our analysis using theories of the causes and interventions for dyslexia, best multisensory training practices and existing research on TUIs that support learning to read for children. We describe our tangible reading system, called PhonoBlocks, focusing on two core design features which take advantage of these opportunities. We also describe how we iteratively fine-tuned the details of our design based on our recommendations, an expert review and feedback from tutors who work with children with dyslexia every day. We include a discussion of design trade-offs in our process. This design rationale paper contributes to the growing research on designing tangible spelling and reading systems for children.},

Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have been suggested to have the potential to support learning for children. Despite the increasing number of TUI reading systems there are few design guidelines for children, especially for those with dyslexia (a specific difficulty in language acquisition skills). In this paper we discuss four design opportunities and five design recommendations for designing tangible reading systems for children, particularly those with dyslexia. We ground our analysis using theories of the causes and interventions for dyslexia, best multisensory training practices and existing research on TUIs that support learning to read for children. We describe our tangible reading system, called PhonoBlocks, focusing on two core design features which take advantage of these opportunities. We also describe how we iteratively fine-tuned the details of our design based on our recommendations, an expert review and feedback from tutors who work with children with dyslexia every day. We include a discussion of design trade-offs in our process. This design rationale paper contributes to the growing research on designing tangible spelling and reading systems for children.
