Swype to debut on the Verizon Samsung Omnia II

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:02:11 +0000

A little over a year ago, Swype announced at TechCrunch50 2008 that they were going to “change how the world inputs text on screens”. By allowing the user to type words by tracing a path between its letters rather than tapping them out one-by-one, Swype claims to speed up typing on a mobile handset while doing away with accuracy annoyances. Swype is the brainchild of Randy Marsden, developer of the Windows Mobile onscreen keyboard, and Cliff Kushler, co-inventor of the T9 input method.

IT gjør oss mer sosiale, ikke mindre

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:18:56 +0000

Mobil- og nettbruk gjør deg ikke til en einstøing, ifølge undersøkelse.
Tidligere forskning som argumenterer for at internett og mobiltelefon gjør oss mindre sosiale blir nå tilbakevist.

Bruk av teknologi gir oss tvert imot større og mer varierte sosiale nettverk.

10/GUI – Multitouch at your fingertips

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:40:18 +0000

The purpose of the 10/GUI concept video is to inform, inspire, and start discussions. An ocean of experimentation, iteration, investment, and adoption lies between these early ideas and whatever the future of HCI will hold. Will the principles of 10/GUI prove viable? To test these waters is the only way to find out.

About the Record projectRECORD (2007 – 2010) is a research project targeting online communities. In particular communities where users share and experience audiovisual content. RECORD aims to provide knowledge and methodologies to improve development of online community products and services. The project leader is Opinion. The remaining partners are the SINTEF and AHO (research institutions), Telenor, NRK, and VIF (content providers), and Opera Software (technology supplier.

Read more about the RECORD project at recordproject.org and see previous design work done by AHO and AHO students for RECORD at recordproject.org/design.

The Tasks

In this project we, as students, have the option to choose between two different task to work with. The first is provided by Telenor, and the second is provided by VIF.

Telenor Task

Explore concepts for providing relevant and engaging audiovisual content (film, tv-series, documentaries) through social features and applications, to specific target audience.

Choose a minimum of two personas from the active family target audience group and explore different concepts (tools, features, applications etc.) for each of them.

Use the realities of the existing solution as a starting point and project that 2 -3 years into the future, how will social features have affected this application. How does the different personas benefit from the service?

VIF Task

We want to explore the potentials in social web-based campaign -application for VIF. By a campaign we mean an aåpplication that is limited in time, based around a specific event, activity or target audience and has specific goal or purpose. The area of a campaign can be (a combination) of the following:

Miniklanen (- 12 years old supporters)
Supporter 2.0 (supporter generated content)
Inside stories (communication with top players and management)
A tournament
A match
A football season
Statistics
Merchandise

Each of these limitation offer different lenses and angles through which you can attack the task. Chose on area or a combination areas to set up a frame for yourself in which you can explore new ideas and concepts.

My approach

I have chosen to work with the Telenor task because I find the the concept with online tv pretty interesting. The task is divided in smaller iteration and smaller deliverables. You can follow the work on this task by using the links below:

This is a three week group project collaboration with with InterMedia at University of Oslo. The main goal with this project is to work with a real-world project case.

The Case

What are the affordances (and constraints) of interactive and social media in museum settings. How can technologies enhance visitors’ experiences and interactions with museums artifacts, providing deeper understanding and engagement?

Research and Brainstorming

The first two weeks of the project started with exploring and doing research on ideas and concepts that already existed, followed up by brainstorming and creating new concepts.
