溜溜球机是一种有趣的通信设备，旨在帮助人们在身体分离时感受到社会联系。我们设计这些产品的目的是让尽可能多的人接触到它们，既为了在COVID-19大流行期间产生积极影响，也为了评估传播研究产品的自建方法以及外围和表达性通信设备的吸引力。基于30多年的研究，人们可以通过简单的在线说明（yoyomachines.io）制作四种不同的设计组合。每一个都涉及通过互联网连接一对相同的设备，以允许远距离的简单通信。本文介绍了我们的项目动机，在该地区以前的工作，设备的设计，支持网站和宣传，以及用户如何制作和使用溜溜球机。最后，我们反映了我们所学到的外围和表达的通信设备和自我建设的方法的影响。
Yo–Yo Machines are playful communication devices designed to help people feel socially connected while physically separated. We designed them to reach as many people as possible, both to make a positive impact during the COVID-19 pandemic and to assess a self-build approach to circulating research products and the appeal of peripheral and expressive communication devices. A portfolio of four distinct designs, based on over 30 years of research, were made available for people to make by following simple online instructions (yoyomachines.io). Each involves connecting a pair of identical devices over the internet to allow simple communication at a distance. This paper describes our motivation for the project, previous work in the area, the design of the devices, supporting website and publicity, and how users have made and used Yo-Yo Machines. Finally, we reflect on what we learned about peripheral and expressive communication devices and implications for the self-build approach.
