I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends is nearly ready to begin asking homeless people to voice their thoughts on a number of topics, both mundane and important. If you have a home and are reading these thoughts displayed in public places: what other information would you like to have, framing the voice? A list of actions you can take to help? More information about the project? A website you can go to for more information? Facts about homelessness? What’s the balance of enough information and too much information?

A Chance-it Design Question http://www.dc.umich.edu/grocs/?p=565 http://www.dc.umich.edu/grocs/?p=565#comments Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:56:58 +0000 linda http://www.dc.umich.edu/grocs/?p=565 Upload your own? A Chance-it Design Question

The Chance-it Team is close to having their multi-touch table completely specified. One special feature: this table will be at coffee table height!

While Yi-Wei and Stan are doing the figuring to make that happen, Jessica and Jhang are detailing the table’s first application. If the goal is to study the many different ways that individuals might put a set of images together, or the ways that they might share collections… would it be better to provide a certain number of images, or to allow participants to upload their own? And what functions should be allowed or enabled with each image?

Thanks to the Nomadic Inquiry in the Museum team for stepping up for the first 2010 design review (Jan 22)! The discussion addressed: different strategies to encourage students to work together without getting hung up in the process, different tools that could be provided to each character; and potential variations on the organizing theme.
