ABSTRACT
Time is a growing topic of interest in HCI. Technological developments and changes in everyday life routines are creating new perceptions of time that are getting widespread in HCI. While these perceptions expand our current understanding of time, designing for them is an important yet an overlooked challenge. In this work, we investigated five time concepts from HCI literature (right time, clock time, digital time, plastic time, and collective time). We conducted a photography capturing task with four design researchers to understand how they interpret and perceive these time concepts. We then created two design speculations based on their perceptions and interpretations to illustrate how emerging time concepts can inspire new design ideas around representations of time.
