Turner, Phil and Turner, Susan (2011): My grandfather's iPod: an investigation of emotional attachment to digital and non-digital artefacts. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 149-156.

Originality/Value -- complements earlier reported studies which suggest that digital artefacts are much less likely to afford attachment Take away message -- digital artefacts do not pose unique challenges for sustainable interaction design

Burrows, Luke, Turner, Susan and Turner, Phil (2010): Re-creating Edinburgh: adopting the tourist gaze. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 183-186.

Motivation -- The work described in this paper investigated the potential of a low fidelity desktop application using the metaphor of the 'tourist gaze' in conveying a sense of place. Research approach -- An exploratory study was used, in which an application was developed and evaluated by 25 participants. Findings/Design -- The results suggest that the simple, non-immersive representation of Edinburgh through augmented images and sound supported a reasonable degree of sense of place. Research limitations/Implications -- This was a small scale study and trials against other environments are required. Originality/Value -- Relatively economical applications of this type could be of value in resource-constrained contexts such as therapeutic arenas. Take away message -- Low fidelity virtual reality applications may be surprisingly effective if expectations are constrained.

Turner, Phil and Turner, Susan (2002): A web of contradictions. In Interacting with Computers, 14 (1) pp. 1-14.

We describe our use of contradictions, a concept central to a popular formulation of activity theory, to derive requirements of a new technical system to support an administrative system. Contradictions are the underlying causes of disturbances in the free operation of workplace activities. We argue and demonstrate that the resolution of such contradictions can be used as the basis for the (user-centred) design of a new system. We conclude that contradictions are both conceptually valuable in understanding the design of systems and are of considerable practical use.

This paper demonstrates how activity theoretic concepts can be used in conjunction with an ethnographically informed approach to derive requirements on a work situation. We present a case study based on a series of collaborative design episodes, the structured description derived from it and show how a preliminary set of contextually-grounded requirements on supporting the design process can be created.

Turner, Phil, Rogers, Alex R., Turner, Susan and Ellman, Jeremy (1994): Seeing the Wood for the Trees. In: Stephanidis, Constantine and Carbonell, Noelle (eds.) Proceedings of the 3rd ERCIM Workshop on User Interfaces for All November 3-4, 1994, Obernai, France. p. 6.

This paper describes the work in progress of the TWEE project. TREE is a European-funded language engineering project addressing the issue of advertising and accessing employment opportunities across Europe. Advertisements for jobs will be stored in a database and made available in the language of choice of the end-user via a WWW interface. An account of the early design and evaluation of the user interface to the TREE system is here described.
