I have been active in the EU project "ECAgents" and has investigated how emergent behaviour and communicating agents provide possibilites and challenges for interaction design We aimed to find novel applications and services, taking inspiration from emerging technologies that signify. We grounded our design studied pet owners, which so far have resulted in the applications Autonomous Wallpaper and Glowbots.
Transfer Scenarios
With transfer scenarios I have investigated a design method to see how specific practices (that are not necessarily the users) can be used in the design process to inspire innovative design. This method primarily builds upon our work of interviewing pet owners to design agents and robots and the study of Lomographers to design a digital camera; the context camera.

Picture This!
This project explored new features of digital photography, investigating new potentials of the camera as a creative tool. We worked on a camera that captures invisible elements such as noise, temperature and more; Context photography. This project also involved to work with dedicated amateur photographers i.e. Lomographers, to learn how to design for an enjoyable everyday photographic practice.

Pin&Play
Pin&Play is a novel technology with "intelligent" pushpins that become connected to a network when they are attached to a large and flexible surface. Me and my colleagues looked into how a filmfestival, that schedule films, could use this in their collaborative scheduling process. Such a specific practice, gave us several implicatons for how the technology could be developed further to support existing paper-based practices. This project was a collaboration with Lancaster University.

Informative Art
Imagine that an enjoyable painting, rather than just being a decoration, also reflect real-time information. Informative art could take similar place in our environment, as traditional paintings and posters, while in the same time provide real-time information in a non-intrusive manner.
