Unintentional intrusive participation in multimedia interactive environments
-
Ceri Williams
Abstract
This paper presents data from two independent case studies: a 15-year-old female with cerebral palsy and related profound and multiple learning difficulties, and a 7-year-old male with extreme behaviour associated with autistic spectrum disorder. An audiovisual immersive interactive environment was developed to encourage creative interaction and expression from the participants. In both case studies, there were support workers present and it was the interventions of these support staff which are the main focus of this paper. Results indicated that profuse but unintentional interventions from the staff could have distorted interaction with, dissuaded or diverted participants from meaningful engagements with the reactive feedback provided by the system.
