    Design guidelines for micro information radiators to increase seniors' safety in urban space
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Tagungsband, 2020) Stojko, Laura; Fietkau, Julian; Koch, Michael
    Senior citizens face challenges during activities in urban space. To help and motivate them pursuing outside activities, we propose a network of micro information radiators to increase their feeling of safety. In this paper we first collect guidelines and relevant aspects for the design of micro information radiators. Then we summarize our own experiences from a project designing smart urban objects – particularly giving an overview of design guidelines for input and output interaction of micro information radiators.

    Exploring Interactive Information Radiators – A Longitudinal Real-World Case Study
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Ott, Florian; Koch, Michael
    We present a longitudinal case study of implementing inter-active information radiators in practice. The insights from the case study include the importance of including users in finding relevant information, and of presenting this information in an attractive way. The semi-public space poses special challenges for design and clearly shows the need for doing research through (longitudinal) deployment-based studies. On the other side, the study also shows some problems of doing longitudinal case studies of semi-public installations – particularly field access and availability of quantitative data.

    The future of interactive information radiators for knowledge workers: How will knowledge workers consume ambient awareness information in the future?
    (i-com: Vol. 23, No. 2, 2024) Koch, Michael; Ott, Florian; Richter, Alexander
    Information Radiators (IRs) provide context-specific pieces of information in a semi-public place where a group of people can see it while working or passing-by. They can simplify information sharing “out-of-the-box”, foster awareness and socialization, create serendipity and enhance collaboration. Recent sociotechnical developments such as the establishment of permanent hybrid work settings as well as advances in the area of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) such as the emergence of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are likely to impact how IRs are being used – or even challenge their usefulness. In this article we discuss those developments and their possible implications for the design and use of IRs in the context of knowledge work in the next decades. We argue that IRs will probably remain an important part of future office environments providing awareness, supporting serendipity and building a situated social place for matchmaking as well as informal communication. Using new display and interaction technologies (such as AR) they might even grow in importance by enabling fluid work scenarios.

    Towards a Logging Framework for Evaluation and Management of Information Radiators
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Koch, Michael
    In the CommunityMirror project we are researching networked information radiators that are based on large interactive screens showing information from different sources. Most research questions in the project are constructive – e.g. to find design parameters, to find solutions for implementing features and processes. For evaluating our solutions, we always face different problems acquiring the information about usage and non-usage in long term deployments. While working on the issues we found an interesting parallel: Most of the information needed for scientific evaluation is also needed for management issues. In this paper we briefly present the problem scenario – and the current concept for addressing this issue in the CommunityMirror implementation – in the form of a concept for a logging framework.
