How can dynamic interfaces enhance social media?

A few days ago I presented my paper Social Navimation: engaging interfaces in social media, at the NORDES design research conference Engaging Artifacts in Oslo. In the presentation I analysed a set of design experiments that show how specific features of navimation can be used in social media applications. I got a lot of positive feedback after the presentation, which was made using the online presentation tool Prezi. Read more about social navimation and see the presentation at Navimation Research.

RECORD Living Lab på Marknadsundersökningens dag

RECORD har fått antatt en Living Lab-presentasjon til neste års Marknadsundersökningens dag i Stockholm, der Opinion vil fortelle hvordan Living Labs vil få konsekvenser for analysebransjen.

Dette er morsomt, for det viser at den online Living Laben vi etablerer i prosjektet har interesse også utenfor fagområder som software-utvikling og design; i dette tilfellet skjæringspunktet mellom markedsanalyse og brukerdrevet innovasjon.

Om du er interessert i Living Labs og markedsanalyse, kanskje du bør vurdere en tur til Stockholm 12. mars?

RECORD Living Lab member of ENOLL

 The RECORD online Living Lab is now a member of the European Network of Living Labs (ENOLL), together with more than 100 Living Labs across Europe. Living Labs are environments that allow users to be involved in innovation processes, and the purpose of ENOLL is to enable a coordinated development of Living Labs.

The RECORD online Living Lab consists of an Internet panel and an online environment. The panel was established in the fall of 2007. Early trial cases has been run with an intermediate online environment mainly supporting one-way communication with the participants. A first version of an online environment, based on community technology, is planned to be used in trial cases early 2009. Read more about the Lab here.

Currently the RECORD online Living Lab serves early trial cases with project partners. When the Lab reaches sufficient maturity (2009-10) we aim to make its services commercially available to the industry in general.

eBorger 2.0

Forskere i RECORD har levert rapporten eBorger 2.0 til Fornyings og administrasjonsdepartementet (FAD). Der beskriver de hvordan borgere bidrar innhold gjennom internett, og hvordan den offentlige forvaltningen i Norge kan utnytte denne trenden med brukerdeltagelse.

I rapporten foreslås det at forvaltningen i større grad må se borgere som samarbeidspartnere og ikke kun som passive mottagere av informasjon. Mulige tiltak kan være (1) et «WikiNorge.no», (2) at sentrale deler av offentlige data gjøres tilgjengelig og gjenbrukbar, og (3) at eForvaltningen inngår samarbeid med både norske og internasjonale såkalte «eGovgeek» aktører.

Living Labs: What are they?

Urørt-LABS: Å finne frem til Urørt musikk

I Urørt-LABS har vi laget en måte å finne frem blant Urørt musikk, der vi eksperimenterer med ulike former med animasjon med utgangspunkt i et Norgeskart. Du kan se dette presentert på en drøyt fire minutter lang video.

Når du har sett vidoen, gi oss gjerne tilbakemeldinger på hva du synes – og hva som kunne vært gjort anderledes.

Urørt-LABS: Urørt på mobilen

I Urørt-LABS leker vi oss med fremtidens musikktjenester for NRK Urørt. En tjeneste fra Urørt-LABS er Urørt på mobilen. Du kan se den på video. I tillegg til videoen nedenfor finnes det videoer for hver av funksjonene ”Hva skjer“, “Lister” og “Radio“.

Vær med å diskutere: Hvordan vil denne tjenesten fungere? Er dette noe du ønsker deg? Hvordan kan Urørt på mobilen gjøres bedre?
