TLDR
This PhD research explores the opportunity to use interactive technology to enrich playful eating experiences through sounds and designed and evaluated two systems that generate digital sounds as a result of eating ice cream, contributing to the understanding of the design of interactive gustosonic experiences.Abstract:
Sound plays a vital role in our relationship with food, this is highlighted through the term "gustosonic experience". However, when it comes to designing celebratory technology for eating - i.e. technology that celebrates the experiential and in particular often playful aspects of eating , the use of sound has been mostly underexplored. My PhD research explores the opportunity to use interactive technology to enrich playful eating experiences through sounds. Via a research-through-design approach, I designed and evaluated two systems that generate digital sounds as a result of eating ice cream, contributing to our understanding of the design of interactive gustosonic experiences. I hope that this work can guide designers in creating gustosonic experiences supporting a more playful relationship with food.read more

LAGH: Towards Asymmetrical Collaborative Bodily Play between 1st and 2nd Person Perspectives
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated to what extent social interactions and empathy of users could be induced when different control mechanisms were used in an asymmetric collaboration and found that participants were more motivated to perform information sharing and interact with each other, thereby enhancing closeness and stimulating empathy.

TL;DR: If a system that is designed based on theories is shown to improve a particular behavior, to what extent can it be said to be due to a specific phenomena identified by a theory?

Platemate: crowdsourcing nutritional analysis from food photographs
TL;DR: Results of the evaluations show that PlateMate is nearly as accurate as a trained dietitian and easier to use for most users than traditional self-reporting.

Multisensory Flavor Perception
TL;DR: This Perspective explores the contributions of distinct senses to the authors' perception of food and the growing realization that the same rules of multisensory integration that have been thoroughly explored in interactions between audition, vision, and touch may also explain the combination of the (admittedly harder to study) flavor senses.
