ABSTRACT
This paper reports upon an engagement-based study that was carried out on the Isle of Tiree (the Inner Hebrides, Scotland). The purpose of the study was to examine the use of a tabletop projection system as a mechanism to allow some of the islands inhabitants to initially discuss their understanding of data, data needs and to further explicate the ways in which communities or researchers might use such systems to engage with communities in a participatory-civic manner.

Visual and tactile engagement: designing projected touch-surfaces for community use in a rural context
AVI '14: Proceedings of the 2014 International Working Conference on Advanced Visual InterfacesThis paper discusses the design, development and deployment of a large projected multi-touch surface within a rural context. Based on our previous work we deployed the system and worked in a real world setting in order to understand how it might be used ...
Making a 'Place' for ICTs in Rural Communities: The role of village halls in digital inclusion
C&T '19: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Communities & Technologies - Transforming CommunitiesIn this paper we look at how ICTs can become integrated into the workings of rural communities; how they might find their place -- both metaphorically in terms of the sense of community, and literally as a particular space. This is set in the context of ...
Community engagement for research: contextual design in rural CSCW system development
C&T '13: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Communities and TechnologiesIn order to bring about innovation within a community-based context, different stakeholder communities often need to be engaged so that they may appropriately take part in the design process. The 'invisible' work of engagement is frequently overlooked, ...
