Shared Worlds (Completed Project)
The research project SHARED WORLDS (2003-2007) investigated the development and use of novel interactive technologies within public spaces – such as museum galleries, shopping malls, airport passenger areas, and libraries. We have explored how people can not only use technologies, but how people might begin to live with them in their everyday lives. While we are working with the latest ideas in information and communications technology, such as ubiquitous computing, meaning computing power everywhere, we take our starting point in an understanding of how people live, work and play in the everyday world. This research is based on what is known as a human-centred computing perspective, where technological developments are based on both a theoretical and practical understanding of human activities in the world. The project includes the deployment of these new interactive technologies in two installations in the field that will be open to the public for use.The first installation was based in Shannon Airport in the summer of 2006, the second in the Milk Market in Limerick during January 2007.
Duration: 1 September, 2003 -> 1 September, 2007
