Research project: Designers of Ubiquitous Computing Wanted
Friday, May 29th, 2009 by Keith InstoneThe Designers’ Ubiquitous Computing Testbed (DUCT) research group (led by Asst. Prof. Mark Newman) at the University of Michigan School of Information is conducting research on the practices of experience designers working at the forefront of technology.
We are currently looking for designers who are willing to talk to us about projects they have done that involve designing “off the desktop” systems (i.e., mobile and place‐specific). If you have, or are currently, designing a system that is mobile, embedded, tangible or otherwise not a traditional desktop computer, we would love to speak with you about your work. Similarly, if you have or are working on a project that involves computing that takes into account the location, activity or presence of users then we would also like to speak with you about your work.
If you’re interested or have more questions, please contact Jared Bauer (jaredsb@umich.edu).
