Establishing Usability for Interactive Music Applications that Use Embodied Mediation Technology
This paper proposes a research method to address usability issues in the early stage of development of interactive or collaborative embodied music applications. The central topic is how concepts of usability testing, goal composition, game enjoyment and technology assessment can be actively incorporated in the development and improvement of music applications that use embodied mediation technology. The method presented involves discourse analysis of interviews to develop an approach to constructively use the feedback of test persons to enhance interactive music applications. This analysis is used to determine whether users can properly interact with the system, whether they understand it and how they evaluate the application. The research presented investigates how this feedback can be integrated in a user-oriented development strategy, intended to facilitate the process of developing user-friendlier embodied music mediation technologies. Moreover, the method may be useful in the process of taking interactive music applications out of the research environment and making the transition into existing cultural/musical contexts.

Interacting with music mediation technology for hearing impaired - first tests with normal hearing subjects
Lesaffre, Micheline; Nijs, Luc; Leman, Marc (2009)Interaction with embodied mediation technology for musical activities is a fairly young but intriguing research domain that requires building and testing of paradigms. In this paper an experimental framework is presented ... -
Ways of Walking : Understanding Walking's Implications for the Design of Handheld Technology via a Humanistic Ethnographic Approach
Eslambolchilar, Parisa; Bødker, Mads; Chamberlain, Alan (University of Jyväskylä, Agora Center, 2016)It seems logical to argue that mobile computing technologies are intended for use “on-the-go.” However, on closer inspection, the use of mobile technologies pose a number of challenges for users who are mobile, particularly ... -
Extraversion and performance approach goal orientation : An integrative approach to personality
Pickett, Jennifer; Hofmans, Joeri; De Fruyt, Filip (Elsevier, 2019)Research shows that extraversion is unrelated to performance approach goal orientation, both at the trait- and the state-level. However, since previous studies have either focused on the trait- or the state-level, such a ... -
Drifting Down the Technologization of Life: Could Choreography-Based Interaction Design Support us in Engaging with the World and our Embodied Living?
Parviainen, Jaana; Tuuri, Kai; Pirhonen, Antti (MDPI AG, 2013)The development of interactive technology is often based on the assumption of need to reduce the physical action and cognitive load of the user. However, recent conceptualizations, supported by research in various fields ... -
Noticing-prefaced recoveries of the interactional space in a video-mediated business meeting
Oittinen, Tuire (Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics University of Copenhagen, 2020)Drawing on conversation analysis and authentic data from a video-mediated multiparty meeting, this study investigates the sequential and temporal organisation of recoveries of the interactional space. It focuses on moments ...
