Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies
Conference Proceeding
Tully, G., & Turner, S. (2004)
Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies. In S. Göbel, U. Spierling, A. Hoffmann, I. Iurgel, O. Schneider, J. Dechau, & A. Feix (Eds.), Technologies for Interactive Digital Storytelling and Entertainment. , (61-67). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-27797-2_9
We describe a study which explores alternative means of communicating decision points in an interactive movie. The two variants used novel, non-disruptive cues embedded in the...
Soundscapes and repertory grids: comparing listeners’ and a designer’s experiences.
Conference Proceeding
McGregor, I., & Turner, P. (2012)
Soundscapes and repertory grids: comparing listeners’ and a designer’s experiences. In P. Turner, S. Turner, & I. McGregor (Eds.), ECCE 2012 (131-137). https://doi.org/10.1145/2448136.2448164

An Affordance-based Framework for CVE Evaluation
Conference Proceeding
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2002)
An Affordance-based Framework for CVE Evaluation. In X. Faulkner, J. Finlay, & F. Détienne (Eds.), People and Computers XVI - Memorable Yet Invisible, 89-103. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-0105-5_6
We argue that a conceptual framework is required to support the
practical evaluation of collaborative virtual environments. We propose
such a framework based on an extended, t...
