Designing Smart Urban Objects – Adaptation, Multi-user Usage, Walk-up-and-use and Joy of Use (248 Downloads )

Abstract

Designing human-computer interaction for non-personal computing devices in urban space poses different challenges than designing for personal devices. In this paper we summarize the findings from a project developing smart urban objects to help elderly people participate in urban life. We present four key challenges that have been identi-fied designing such objects, and present first ideas for how to address these challenges. The four key challenges are adaptability (and data privacy), multi-user usage, walk-up-and-use and joy of use.
