Dr Keith Cheverst
ReaderResearch Overview
My research over the last decade has focused on exploring the obdurate problems associated with the user-centred design of interactive systems (typically systems that utilise mobile and/or ubicomp technologies and incorporate aspects of Locative media) in complex or semi-wild settings and the deployment and longitudinal study of these systems in order to gain insights into issues of user adoption and appropriation. Recent projects include ¡®SHARC’ which investigated the co-design of technology for the Shared Curation of local history in rural and nature settings/communities (for more detils please visit: https://thesharcproject.wordpress.com).
Profile
My research profile can be broken down to the following five areas/approaches: i) Studying the Human Computer Interaction issues associated with mobile applications (Mobile HCI), ii) Understanding the Human Computer Interaction issues associated with adaptive/proactive interactive systems that act on behalf of the user, and, iii) Exploring the potential of situated digital displays to support coordination and community, iv) studying and pioneering the combined use of technology probes, participatory design methods and longitudinal evaluation ¨C techniques now considered core to ¡®in the wild’ research, and, v) Interaction Design for unobtrusive interaction with nature.
