We are excited to announce that Prof. Anton Fedosov from FHNW, will be delivering a seminar on Designing for Technology-Mediated Sharing Practices.
Abstract: Online social networks have made sharing personal experiences with others a common activity. Furthermore, modern mobile apps, cloud services, and wearable technologies expanded the scope of shared content on the internet from personal media to individual preferences and activities to information about real-world things. This talk explores these practices within two emergent sharing contexts: personal activity tracking and sharing economy services. The overarching research question of my work is to explore how people experience sharing in the digital context and in the real world. These explorations not only led to a deeper understanding of current practices, needs, and concerns of sharing personal digital and physical possessions in our everyday lives, but also inform designers on how to bridge physical and digital experiences in this context.
