Methods and guidelines for the design and development of domestic ubiquitous computing applications

Published: 23 April 2006 Publication History

Abstract

In our research we investigate how applications can be conceived, designed, and implemented that fit into people's home environments. In particular we describe our method of how user centred design and participatory design can be appropriated to find users' requirements and design ideas for ubiquitous computing applications for the home. In our example we focus on information presentation and display appliances. In the process we go from individual solutions, fitting a single persona each, to more generic prototypes. Based on this we provide a set of guidelines for the design of display appliances in the home environment.
