Evolution of a concept: from technology to end-user to enterprise

Published:28 April 2007Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this report we describe our experiences designing and trialing a hands-free, context-aware, mobile communications system for enterprise workers. Our concept, inspired by a new consumer technology, was designed with a heavy focus on the end-user. Through our trial we became aware of various factors in the enterprise that impacted design and deployment.
