- Uncomfortable interactions (2012, background): “[33], and transforming system limitations into resources through ‘seamful design’ [5].”
- Designing for appropriation (2007, background): “The notion of ‘seamful’ design [3] deliberately exposes these 'seams' in coverage and connectivity in order to create games and applications.”
- From interaction to trajectories: designing coherent journeys through user experiences (2009, background): “From a research perspective, our framework also integrates concepts from the literature including virtual reality [26], ubiquitous computing [30], mixed reality [22], the temporal aspects of interaction [5], tangible and public interfaces [15], seamful design [9] and interface ecologies [16].”
- Can you see me now? (2006, background): “…the repair of bugs and glitches to consider instead, the ways in which the seams between a range of technologies such as GPS, GSM, 3G, WLAN, WiFI, and Bluetooth (etc.) might be intentionally revealed and transformed into a functional resource through seamful design [Chalmers and Galani 2004].”
- The Three Paradigms of HCI (2007, background): “The notion of seamfulness (Chalmers & Galani, 2004) and the elaboration of where seams occur has been published in ToCHI and DIS, but is usually hidden in the rhetoric of a new form of activity.”
- Yesterday’s tomorrows: notes on ubiquitous computing’s dominant vision (2007, background): “From a technological perspective, it might take the form of the explorations of ‘seamful design’ being explored by Chalmers and colleagues [ 47 ], in which the variability of infrastructure and of access become a resource for active engagement.”
