The report includes for cases: Universally Reachable Contact Book, EB Propsim F8, Flowd, and Cloud of Things.
Universally Reachable Contact Book describes a case where person‟s contact book information resides in the cloud. Through a participatory design and co-creation process, a user interface was ideated, prototyped, and tested.
EB Propsim F8 – User experience in a professional product describes the initial phases of user-centred design process, where the researchers aim to understand how the current solution is used by professional users, and what are the current interaction challenges. The data collection methods included contextual inquiry and expert evaluation methods, and the results were analysed against well-known usability heuristics by Nielsen.
Flowd, the music lovers‟ social network is a concept where fans can follow their favourite artist through cloud services. The main interaction challenges rise from integration of several existing services to the concept.
Cloud of Things describes two different solutions for enhancing people‟s shopping experience. The first one is an rfid tag -based prototype running on Android mobile device, allowing users to view and compare detailed product information e.g. related to sustainability of a grocery shop product. The other one is a „peek inside the box‟ concept, and augmented reality and context awareness system to view a 3D model of a product that is still inside a package.
