ABSTRACT
Outer space is steadily evolving as a site of human-computer interactions. With the ongoing investments of state and private companies in space exploration, these interactions and their design are becoming increasingly crucial for the unfolding of our futures on and beyond the globe. Yet outside the Earth, our relations with technologies necessitate situational adjustments, requiring a range of adaptive strategies designed to negotiate the extreme extra-terrestrial. While the domain of human-computer-interaction adopted methods from spaceflight -- the NASA Task Load Index (TLX), for example, in this workshop we especially consider ways in which the setting of outer space provides a testing ground for new forms of designing and performing human-computer interactions. Through a range of examples, we will explore the nuances emerging amidst exchanges between humans, technologies and space environments, and address them from a range of different research perspectives.

From body space to interaction space: modeling spatial cooperation for virtual humans
AAMAS '11: The 10th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems - Volume 3This paper introduces a model which connects representations of the space surrounding a virtual humanoid's body with the space it shares with several interaction partners. This work intends to support virtual humans (or humanoid robots) in near space ...
A Design Space for Trust-enabling Interaction Design
MIDI '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Mulitmedia, Interaction, Design and Innovation International Conference on Multimedia, Interaction, Design and InnovationThe purpose of this article is to introduce and assess the expressiveness of a design space for trust-enabling interaction design; or in other words aims to assess the extent to which the design space can explain/describe trust-enabling interactions. It ...
