Concept development project: user interactions with multiple mobile devices

Client: Nokia Insight & Foresight

Experientia was asked to develop a design concept exploring multiple device ownership and the exchange of content between these devices. The mobile phone was at the centre of the exploration, in its possible roles as a mediator, access point or personal identifier to other devices or forms of information.

The design concept focuses on the user experience of linking devices together, sharing information between devices and understanding which device provides which service or content (mental and cognitive model).

Special focus is put on the integration of the mobile phone into the home environment and its connection with possible consumer electronics or computing devices and their respective content. The desired time horizon for the concept development was three years.
