From ethnography to design in a vineyard
DUX '03: Proceedings of the 2003 conference on Designing for user experiencesThis paper summarizes the process from ethnographic study of a vineyard to concept development and interaction design for a ubiquitous computing solution. It provides examples of vineyard interfaces and the lessons learned that could be generally ...
Vineyard Computing: Sensor Networks in Agricultural Production
Using ethnographic research methods, the authors studied the structure of work activities and the needs and priorities of people working in a vineyard in order to understand the potential for sensor networks in agriculture. The emphasis on production in ...
