What Happens After Death? Using a Design Workbook to Understand User Expectations for Preparing Their Data Digital data has become a key part of everyday life: people manage increasingly large and disparate collections of photos, documents, media, etc. But what happens after death? How can users select and prepare what data to leave behind before their eventual death? To explore how to support users, we first ran an ideation workshop to generate design ideas; then, we created a design workbook with 12 speculative concepts that explore diverging approaches and perspectives. We elicited reactions to the concepts from 20 participants (18-81, varied occupations). We found that participants anticipated different types of motivation at different life stages, wished for tools to feel personal and intimate, and preferred individual control on their post-death self-representation. They also found comprehensive data replicas creepy and saw smart assistants as potential aides for suggesting meaningful data. Based on the results, we discuss key directions for designing more personalized and respectful death-preparation tools.AWCRP-2020-10 University of British Columbia | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2021-05-01 | |
Help KioskDemonstration and poster.
Abstract:
Older adults have difficulty using and learning to use smart phones, in part because the displays are too small to provide effective interactive help. Our work explores the use of a large display to temporarily augment the small phone display to support older adults during learning episodes. We designed and implemented a learning system called Help Kiosk which contains unique features to scaffold the smart phone learning process for older adults. We conducted a mixed-methods user study with 16 older adults (55+) to understand the impact of this unique design approach, comparing it with the smart phone's official printed instruction manual. We found Help Kiosk gave participants more confidence that they were doing the tasks correctly, and helped minimize the need to switch their attention between the instructions and their phone.4.8-CAT University of British Columbia | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2018-10-22 | |
