Goals
*****
Development of a HF research agenda for this specific
issue of interaction with mobile devices, to identify and extend the research
community in this topic. Moreover, to sensitise designers to the particular
interaction-design issues in these kind of communication scenarios (mobile and
contextual learning models, interface evaluation,
etc.)
Background of the perspective
participants
******************************************
The workshop is
intended for practitioners working in the wireless industry (telcos, device
manufacturers, service providers, etc.) and for HF academics and students with
interests in human computer interaction, technology-enhanced learning and mobile
interaction. Participants will be asked to submit a brief position paper of 2-4
pages, or a reference to a mobile product/project in which they have been
involved. Participants will be selected on the basis of their interest in and
familiarity with the topic.
Detailed description of
workshop
********************************
Participants will be invited to
choose a format of context-dependent mobile service and hypothesise a scenario
of use (mainly when he is ‘on the move’ - e.g. in a train, using a pocket PC or
a mobile phone) that will enhance users' interactive experience with their
mobile devices.
Once the usage scenario is well defined, participants will
required to know (assume) the expectations, limitations and behaviour of mobile
users and design appropriate interaction models. Trans-cultural adaptability and
ethic aspects will be analysed. Good communication with the service provider is
a key factor to add value to the user, possibly involving personalized services.
A coerent and relevant multi-channel identity, for example with related website,
will be analysed to ensure user’s fidelity.
Interface’s usability will be
tested according to:
- learnability
- users’ satisfaction
- users’
expectations and perceived value of the services provided
- speed in task
completion
- number of irreversible mistakes
- level of interaction
enabled
