- We address the challenges facing designers of interactive technologies for public knowledge institutions such as museums, libraries and science centres. We argue that visitor participation is a key concern for these institutions and present a theoretical framework for understanding participation grounded in pragmatist philosophy. We then present design work carried out in three different settings, namely a museum, a combined aquarium and science centre, and a municipal library. Based on a discussion of these design cases, we offer six design considerations for designing for participation in public knowledge institutions.

Ubiquitous Computing in Physico-Spatial Environments - Activity Theoretical Considerations

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Interaction design of pervasive and ubiquitous computing(UC) systems must take into account physico-spatial issuesas technology is implemented into our physicalsurroundings. In this paper we discuss how one conceptualframework for understanding interaction in context,Activity Theory (AT), frames the role of space. We point tothe fact that AT treats space primarily in terms of analyzingthe role of space before designing IT-systems andevaluating spatial effects of IT-systems in use contexts afterthe design phase. We consequently identify a gap in thatrole of space is not recognized in the design process.We address this gap by discussing the role of physical space in relation to key concepts of AT in terms of how anincreased awareness of physico-spatial aspects influencesthe understanding and design of IT systems.

Rethinking information handling: designing for information offload
- 2005

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper introduces information offload as a supplement way of responding to and designing for information. By presenting iFlush, a design concept aiming at providing the user with a possibility to offload information and then instantly dispose of it, the paper presents an approach towards designing for reflection and also serves as a critique towards information overload. Furthermore, the absence of reflection on the role played by HCI community in the constant augmenting of all spaces is addressed.
