The Designing for Engaged Experience Workshop was first run very successfully at OZCHI 2008. The workshop has now become an on-going series. This page will host images and reports from all workshops – currently only hosting the previous workshop documentation.

Designing for Engaged Experience (DfEE) intends to provide an ongoing outlet for research and work in interaction design and HCI which finds itself crossing the discipline boundaries. We will be starting with a full day workshop and discussion of papers.
This full day workshop gives participants an opportunity to explore how our interaction with recorded research data might inspire designing digital technologies that enrich our experience of natural places. Experience centred design and designing for affective computing leads us to use what might loosely be called ‘ethnographic methods’. Numerous constraints might prohibit full-blown ethnography, so we often end up analysing recorded media records of people interacting in a variety of contexts. The resulting artefacts are often enticing in their own right and interaction with them has a remediating and inspirational effect.
DfEE will become a regular publication and growing resource.
