Wall, An Eccentric Design Probe: Exploring and Exposing the Sense-and-Extract Paradigm

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: We describe our process of conceptualizing, designing, prototyping, and using Wall, an eccentric smart device intended to encourage reflection on the design qualities of surveillant sensing systems. As a result of our conceptual design process, we first summarize four design qualities that define a sense-and-extract interaction paradigm. We then document our process of developing Wall. Finally, we reflect on our experiences using and living with Wall, and the experiential and theoretical insights we gained through our self-use studies.
