TL;DR: A set of challenges for HInt research is presented, formulated over the course of a five-day workshop consisting of 29 experts who have designed, deployed and studied HInt systems, towards a more coordinated and conscientious future of human-computer integration.

TL;DR: The design process for Drone Chi has been informed by the soma design approach and the Somaesthetic Appreciation concept from HCI literature, and the artifact expands somaesthetic HCI by exemplifying dynamic and intimate soma aesthetic interactions with a robotic design material, and body movements in expansive 3D space.

TL;DR: A demonstration that explores various ways drones could facilitate meditative movement by drawing attention to the body by designing a two-handed control map for the drone that engages multiple parts of the body, a light foam casing to give the impression that the drone is floating and an onboard light which gives feedback to the speed of the movement.

TL;DR: WeScream!, a playful social gustosonic system that allows users to interact with musical sounds generated through the act of eating ice cream together, reports on an in-the-wild study that highlights how the system facilitated a "hard fun" experience through eating together, increased participants' awareness of relatedness, and drew shared attention to the ice cream's taste via increased face-to-face interaction.

TL;DR: "Tai Chi In The Clouds" is a system which uses micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as "clouds" to lead or follow the movements of the hands, giving live feedback on smoothness of movement via LEDs.
