As an alternative approach, we present the design and implementation of VoxBox, a tangible system for gathering opinions on a range of topics in situ at an event through playful and engaging interaction. We discuss the design principles we employed in the creation of VoxBox and show how they encouraged wider participation, by grouping similar questions, encouraging completion, gathering answers to open and closed questions, and connecting answers and results. We evaluate these principles through observations from an initial deployment and discuss how successfully these were implemented in the design of VoxBox. date: 2015-01-15 date_type: published publisher: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2677199.2680588 vfaculties: VENG oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_source: Manually entered elements_id: 986995 doi: 10.1145/2677199.2680588 isbn_13: 9781450333054 lyricists_name: Capra, Licia lyricists_name: Golsteijn, Connie lyricists_name: Koeman, Lisa lyricists_name: Rogers, Yvonne lyricists_id: LCAPR65 lyricists_id: CGOLS59 lyricists_id: KOEMA99 lyricists_id: YROGE95 actors_name: Capra, Licia actors_name: Allington-Smith, Dominic actors_id: LCAPR65 actors_id: DAALL44 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: public series: International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction publication: Tangible and Embedded Interaction volume: 9 place_of_pub: New York, NY, USA pagerange: 201-208 event_title: Ninth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction (TEI '15) book_title: TEI '15: Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction editors_name: Verplank, B editors_name: Ju, W editors_name: Antle, AN editors_name: Mazalek, A editors_name: Mueller, F citation: Golsteijn, C; Gallacher, S; Koeman, L; Wall, L; Andberg, S; Rogers, Y; Capra, L; (2015) VoxBox: A Tangible Machine that Gathers Opinions from the Public at Events.
