Designing for mobility

چکیده
Based on an empirical study of a wastewater treatment plant we present an integrated prototype for PCs and PDAs. It supports getting an overview of the wastewater treatment process and making system information available in the environment outside the control room. The prototype is build on the understanding that support for mobile work must be realised through a combination of different technologies enabling users to meet the changing demands in a work situation. With the design we seek to reflect the position of the mobile device in the existing ‘web of technology’ and show how the concept of integration can be a driving force in design, allowing us to see heterogeneous devices as parts of a whole rather than independent entities. Furthermore, the prototype challenges the notion of working ‘anytime, anywhere’, which is presented as an ideal by many (communication)-technology companies today.

Designing for Rehabilitation at Home
New technologies open up possibilities for designing interactive experiences that can engage and motivate post-stroke survivors to undertake what would otherwise be boring repetitive movements. In this paper we outline a few of the challenges we met as part of the cross-disciplinary Motivating Mobility project. These are: the extended ‘user’; autonomy and motivation; and early prototype studies.
