  20. Future: Basic Research • User activities: cognitive resources, opportunities, restrictions • Group activities: contribution of sociology, “shared cognition”, … • Issues: • What makes a pleasurable experience that leads to sustained use? Understand, name, predict … • Ordinary experimental methodology does not apply as conditions cannot be controlled on the field. • We now focus in everyday life of people. What about professional or media-oriented activities?

  21. Future: User Informed Design • Individual methods • Process: UCPCD Mk II • Process support • Issues: • User involvement in design? • Difficult • Room for user creativity with the result is still absolutely necessary • Parallelism with technological development • Inclusion of further viewpoints (business design)

  22. Future: Constructive Research • Interaction design • Prototyping: lo-fi, hi-fi • Toolkits, software engineering • Issues: • How to realise plentiful opportunities for co-operation within HIIT? • The group’s present strength is not in interaction design (esp. multimodal interaction, novel technologies). Make or buy? • Field test design, execution, analysis – more experience needed in larger scale tests
