A need, no app: just do it! But do people support dynamic composition of interactive systems for fulfilling emergent needs?
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
In Human Computer Interaction engineering, both the context of use (<user, platform, environment>) and the user task (<goal, procedure>) are supposed to be set at design time. However, in ubiquitous computing, the context of use is dynamic, making user needs possibly emerge on the fly. As a consequence, there is a need to go beyond pre-computed User Interfaces (UIs) and to be capable of dynamically composing UIs for fulfilling such emergent needs. This paper relates a user study conducted for understanding to which extent dynamic composition of UIs can match user needs. The study consists of 26 qualitative interviews and 3 focus groups. It provides interesting insights for future research.
