... We see this as the next design wave domain to catch opportunities for innovation in WaterHCI. While HCI practitioners have advanced interactive systems for aquatic activities [32,62,68], outdoor water activities like surfing are less explored. Recognizing the potential for unexplored interactions in all sports [72,86], and the opportunity to enrich surfing's experiential aspect through play, we pose the research question: How can playful interactive technology support the experiential aspects of surfing? ...

... The integration of technology in dance has its roots in Merce Cunningham's groundbreaking use of 3D computer graphics to create choreography [70,71], as well as the Bauhaus Ballet's influence on applying geometric and mathematical concepts to the human body and movement [8,68,79,81]. Over time, computational choreography [18,19,46,47,53,67,69] has progressed alongside developments in virtual theatre environments [26,29,30], virtual agents and 3D avatars [2,5,7,10,20,22,23,31,52,77], wearable computing [45,56,66,80], motion capture and annotation technologies [11,34,39,57,64,72], human-computer interaction techniques [12,15,21,25,37,40,48,61,84,85], and, more recently, the emergence of generative AI models [13,32,49,50,59,78,82,86]. This research presents an approach to advancing Thai traditional dance through computational choreography. ...

... For example, as individuals age or experience changes in life circumstances, maintaining daily steps goals can become more challenging. However, staying active in different ways other than only taking steps has significant benefits for both physical and mental well-being [7,20]. This shifts the focus from using technologies to support individuals in managing their health to designing technologies to support better those who are already experiencing changes in their lives [10]. ...

... In contrast, to these workshops, we explore how multimodal feedback can support different sports by discussing existing interaction frameworks from (mobile) computing such as glanceable interactions [9], peripheral interactions [2]. Additionally, we will hands-on explore multimodal feedback in sports through "quick and dirty" prototyping, delving into underexplored modalities such as temperature change and smell, and look into technologies such as shape-changing inflatables [24]. ...

... On the contrary, when it comes to food industry, regulatory system and consumer acceptance still delay the progress of PCCs usage. The food market clearly reveals that there are very few examples of PCC-derived products (Obrist et al., 2024). ...

... Researchers and practitioners design and develop new technological advancements for cyclists by augmenting helmets, bicycles, and the environment around them [4, 8, 10, 15-18, 20, 32-35]. Recent works aimed to measure and evaluate subjective experiences [1,3,5,6,9,11,13,19,20,23,27], address safe and potentially realistic bicycle simulators [7,14,22,25,26,37], and even propose self-driving bikes [24,39]. Given the increasing popularity of bicycle research in the HCI community reflected in a high number of previous workshops and cycling events [2,21,30,31,36,38], we believe there is a lot we can learn from these emerging research projects for interaction design regarding cycling for researchers, designers, and practitioners. ...

... Virtual environments have appeared in recent years. They serve various purposes due to the enrich experiences, such as digital museums [27,58], education [12], training [25,31], sensory stimulation [44,45], authentication [32], meditation [66], rehabilitation [11], and gaming [8,18,33,71]. For instance, the multimedia community leverages the metaverse as the medium to promote lighting due to the security of the teaching venues and the relevant costs [67]. ...

... We adopted a soma design process [46,50,55,87], previously successful in other sports [54,61,88] and beneficial in WaterHCI work [64,65], to address this challenge. Soma design considers technological and bodily affordances in the environmental context [69,90], crucial for surfing due to its oceanic setting, where complex interactions occur. ...
