Yet, the need for calm and unobtrusive technology is evidently considering its ubiquity as well as the multitude of user groups and needs that it should comply to. In my research, I am looking into potential design elements and materials to develop new interfaces with the aforementioned properties. Current use cases focus on installations at public places, cemeteries as well as museums. Traces of use are a potential design strategy for indicating interactive areas while also incorporating the property of unobtrusiveness due to their ubiquity. With my research, I want to contribute to making urban environments more connected and engaging while keeping the ambience of historical sites or green areas as-is. Thereby, users should identify more with their surroundings while dealing its history and culture.}, booktitle = {Companion Publication of the 2020 ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference}, pages = {521–525}, numpages = {5}, keywords = {history, urban, culture, natural design, unobtrusive}, location = {Eindhoven, Netherlands}, series = {DIS' 20 Companion} }
