Understanding and evaluating the user Interface design for creative writing
Publication . Gonçalves, Frederica; Campos, Pedro; Gonçalves, Frederica; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe
Recent decades brought us technological advances which have
been able to significantly improve the writing activity. Everyone
writes, and everyone has a wide variety of creative writing tools
for that. In this paper, we present a study with 23 user experiences
and interviews, regarding four different writing environments in a
within-subject design. We obtained a deep understanding of
which tool promotes higher levels of satisfaction and creativity
during the process of creative writing. First, we compared the cre
ative writing Dimensions (Serendipity, Haven, Evolution and
Shuffle), combined with the Technology Acceptance Model di
mensions. Through distinct evaluation methods, we discuss the
results about how the usage of different creative writing environ
ments can produce results that allow a better understanding of the
user interface design process for users.
What shall i write next? Subliminal and supraliminal priming as triggers for creative writing
Publication . Gonçalves, Frederica; Caraban, Ana; Karapanos, Evangelos; Campos, Pedro; Gonçalves, Frederica; Karapanos, Evangelos; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe
Creative writing requires the manipulation of language in
demanding ways, as individuals attempt to uniquely express
themselves. As a result, during creative writing people often
experience the writer’s block: a stress reaction that affects their
ability to write. Addressing this problem, creativity support tools
have been incorporating story prompts to instigate the creative
process. However, such strategies distract the user from the
writing task and impose cognitive load to get over the block. In
this paper, we investigate subliminal priming as a novel technique
to support creative writing. We developed a text-editor that
provides conscious and unconscious textual hints during a writing
task and explored its impact on user’s self-experienced creativity.
Results showed that participants in the subliminal condition
experienced more loss of self-consciousness when compared to
the control condition. Self-report data revealed higher loss of self
consciousness in the subliminal condition while the analysis of
eye-tracking data and verbal-accounts revealed a stronger
influence on people's thoughts during the supraliminal condition.
We report our findings and conclude with insights for future
research.

Motivation, participation, and engagement in human work interaction design literature
Publication . Barricelli, Barbara Rita; Clemmensen, Torkil; Campos, Pedro; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe
This position paper is aimed at presenting as discussion material at the
CoPDA 2016 Workshop the preliminary results of a short review of the literature
published by the HWID community in the last 10 years in four books. Specifi
cally, the attention is posed on understanding the importance of motivation, par
ticipation, and engagement in Interaction Design projects for smart and pervasive
workplaces.
Collaboration meets interactive surfaces (CMIS): walls, tables, mobiles, and wearables
Publication . Anslow, Craig; Campos, Pedro; Grisoni, Laurent; Lucero, Andres; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe
This workshop proposes to bring together researchers
who are interested in improving collaborative experiences
through the combination of multiple interaction surfaces
with diverse sizes and formats, ranging from large-scale
walls, to tables, mobiles, and wearables. The opportunities
for innovation exist, but the ITS, CHI, CSCW, and other HCI
communities have not yet thoroughly addressed the prob
lem of bringing effective collaboration activities together
using multiple interactive surfaces, especially in complex
work domains. Of particular interest is the potential synergy
that one can obtain by effectively combining different-sized
surfaces and sharing information between devices.
