Abstract

Running with others is motivational but finding running partners is not always accessible due to constraints such as being in remote locations. We present a novel concept of augmenting remote runners' experience by mediating a running group using drone-projected visualisations. As an initial step, a team of five interaction designers apply a user-centred design approach to scope out possible visual prototypes that can mediate a running group. The design team specifically focused on visual prototypes through a series of workshops. We report on the impressions of the visual prototypes from six potential users and present future directions to this project.
