My Home: Let Users design their own Social iTV

Understanding the home context leads to a better understanding of peoples activities within this special context. Thereby, it is important not to underestimate the social context in which new technologies are deployed and used. Moreover, the home context is a main place for individualization and domestication. This paper is discussing the home context as a main place for self-expression and user driven modifications around the TV. A case example for user driven modifications is presented and further discussed toward a more individualized design approach which enables users to become designers themselves.
