This paper asks what might make for a design-friendly culture as more people are implicated in the making of everyday interactive systems. The tools offered below are exercises to broaden the view at the start of a design process, even before the space of the problem is contemplated. They are intended to sit well with user-centred design processes, bringing a dash of fun with some serious inten...

In this paper, we describe a user-centered privacy policy design project that we undertook at Stanford Legal Design Lab, in order to generate new models of business-to-consumer communications around data privacy. From our preliminary user research, rapid prototyping and testing, and refinement of new privacy communication designs, focused on a very particular archetype – a 20-40 year old who is...

In this paper we describe a system allowing users to express themselves through their full-body movement and gesture and to control in real-time the generation of an audio-visual feedback. The systems analyses in real-time the user’s full-body movement and gesture, extracts expressive motion features and maps the values of the expressive motion features onto real-time control of acoustic parame...

Ten years of AmI research have led to many new insights and understandings about the way highly interactive environments should be designed to meet the requirement of being truly unobtrusive and supportive from an end-user perspective. Probably the most revealing finding is the fact that, in addition to cognitive intelligence and computing, also elements from social intelligence and design play...

Every now and then existing methods in the User-Centered Design (UCD) process evolve and new methods are being introduced. In this position paper we discuss our new approach for studying communities within the new media landscape. First, this new approach contains ways to improve the relations between the designers, researchers and developers on the one hand and the users on the other hand. Sec...

Automatic structuring is one means to ease access to large music collections – be it for organisation or exploration. The AUCOMA project (Adaptive User-Centered Organization of Music Archives) aims to find ways to make such a structuring intuitively understandable to a user through automatic adaptation. This article describes the motivation of the project, discusses related work in the field of...

In a World where the main role of Information and Communication Technologies still seems to be the one of connecting people over distance, a process of remediation is slowly showing how new ICTs also have the opportunity to improve the connection between individuals and their immediate surroundings. This paper presents an attempt to understand how this emerging set of technologies, later addres...
