Designing and Evaluating Mobile Applications for New Social Experiences
with Dr Lynne Baillie
29thMay '07
About the event
Dr Lynne Baillie of the Mobile and Ubiquitous Lab at Glasgow Caledonian University and the Human Telecommunications Lab at the Telecommunications Research Center Vienna presented a fascinating glimpse into the future of mobile and ubiquitous computing interactions with two research case studies of the design and evaluation of prototypes for mobile & remote devices that can potentially expand our social experiences: Point2discover and Amigo TV.
Point2Discover is a Mobile Spatial Awareness system and the research studied how mobile users interacted with the physical environments using different designs for helping users understand their spatial environment.
Amigo TV is a Social TV application which aims at providing remote users with a joint TV experience. Many interesting and applicable research findings were revealed regarding the subjects' characterisation and behaviour between the different interaction conditions, and there were several implications for future devices and software to support remote social networking.
