Abstract

The context of use has a major impact on mobile device design. However, there are few system design methods that assist user interface designers to represent use context in a useful and systematic manner throughout the design process. We report here on a method called Picture Scenarios that was used by four design teams whilst designing mobile information devices for a public square. Results show that Picture Scenarios helped the teams to better understand, negotiate and represent use context during their design activities.
