In't Engels

Nu de technologische experimenten in onze straat voorbij zijn, moet voor Niels en Jonathan het studiewerk gebeuren. Een beschrijving van het project met eerste conclusies, wordt verwerkt in een studienota: 'een paper'. Deze projectbeschrijving wordt in het Engels gepubliceerd en ingediend op internationaal niveau om zo weerklank, erkenning en uitstraling te krijgen.
Niels zegt daarover: "Het zijn 10 pagina's geworden, een "full paper" en dus meteen een vrij belangrijke publicatie (áls ze geaccepteerd wordt, maar we hebben er goede hoop op)."De titel is geworden "Designing Situated Public Displays for Urban Neighborhood Interaction".  Je kan dat vertalen als 'Publieke schermen (of installaties) voor stedelijke buurt-netwerking ontwerpen'
De  korte projectbeschrijving leest als volgt:

As modern information communication technologies are increasingly becoming integrated in our public environment, challenges arise to render them locally relevant and meaningful. In this paper, we therefore describe the design and evaluation of a set of situated public displays attached to house facades that have been specifically designed to facilitate households to communicate with their local neighborhood, and vice versa, encourage neighbors to interact with the households. We report on the participatory design process that resulted in a range of open-ended concepts that went beyond the traditional screen-based notion of public displays, the deployment of three unique designs, and their critical evaluation during an eight-week in-the-wild field study on their impact on participating households as well as members of the neighborhood. This study aims to describe the potential and design repercussions of making public displays more situated, by taking into account the individual preferences of households, exploring alternative means of communication, and facilitating the creation of content by households.
