Research Talks
Gesture & Healthcare
Talk given at the MindMeld series hosted by DeveloperTown, a software consultancy. The presentation covers how design in healthcare can benefit from Design-Based Research, a systematic approach to research that studies complex problems in real-world settings, that focuses on gesture analysis. Generalized design principles for healthcare design are derived from the data.
Gesture & Mental Models
Talk given to the QuantQualBridge Society hosted by Rosenfeld Media. We cover how gesture can reveal the mental models that people hold and provide some guidance for conducting better interviews. The analysis highlights the mental models that people hold about ML/A.I. and how the HCI decisions used by LLMs like ChatGPT can evoke dialogic mental models.
