Down the rabbit hole: A starter kit for collaborative creation

Starting point of this project was human interaction in relation to technology and the project goal to design a relevant product that contributes to people’s lives. Explorative user research was used to set the domain for the project on collaborative creation. Next, a vision on the domain was developed, using the ViP-method. The vision proposes...

Beyond image quality: Designing engaging interactions with digital products

Ubiquitous computing (or Ambient Intelligence) promises a world in which information is available anytime anywhere and with which humans can interact in a natural, multimodal way. In such world, perceptual image quality remains an important criterion since most information will be displayed visually, but other criteria such as enjoyment, fun,...
