Who's there?: experience-driven design of urban interaction using a tangible user interface
Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia, December 2013 (bib)

During recent years public displays relying on new types of display technologies have made their way to the city scene. In this paper, we present a concept that combines tangible interfaces with such ubiquitous urban interaction. We set out to create a tangible connection between different cities and employed an experience-driven design process towards our concept called 'Who's There?'. We evaluated the concept by using a cardboard prototype with a group of fifteen users in a busy market square, where it generated considerable engagement and discussion with members of the public.
