Paper Abstract:
|
The vision of Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing promises that our future environments will be furnished with an
increasing number of computationally augmented artifacts. Consequently new services and applications, which will come
up, should fit into the lifestyle and life-patterns of very different individuals unobtrusively.
In this paper we present the designing of graphical user interfaces for end user tools in order for them to be able to
configure pervasive awareness applications. These will help them keep in touch with close friends and family. A usercentered
analysis was conducted, scenarios were developed and paper prototypes materialized in the form of
storyboarding. The prototypes were evaluated by experts and proved that the interaction style and the metaphors used had
specific constraints. Finally, conclusions based on this study were drawn. |
