(apologies for cross posting)

You are cordially invited to the IDG Seminar ...


PRESENTER: Sonja Pedell

TITLE:  Picture scenarios for representing dynamic use context in mobile
design 

VENUE: University of Melbourne, IDEA LAB, level 4, 111 Barry Street,
Carlton

DATE and TIME: Friday 23rd May  2008, 3-4 pm

ABSTRACT:
My research extends scenario-based methods for the design of mobile
technologies. Central to the contribution is the representation of Œdynamic
use context¹ via picture scenarios. These scenarios depict real-life use of
technology and propose an encoding scheme for explicitly representing
important contextual dimensions of people¹s use of mobile devices. The
research demonstrates that picture scenarios help designers to take greater
account of these contextual issues. The results have significant
implications for those creating mobile and ubiquitous technologies.

BIO:
Sonja recently submitted her PhD thesis, supervised by Frank Vetere. In this
talk she will give a brief overview of both her PhD research and the rocky
journey towards submission.



*** We will be also celebrating another successful semester of presentations
a tad early this time around. Please join us for some drinks and nibbles.

Please forward to others if interested. All are Welcome.
