Hinman, Rachel, Spasojevic, Mirjana and Isomursu, Pekka (2008): They call it surfing for a reason: identifying mobile internet needs through pc internet deprivation. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 2195-2208. Available online
In this case study we describe the details of a PC Internet deprivation study used to gather information on mobile Internet needs. Eight participants in our study used a mobile device as their only means of Internet access for four days. The case study describes details of the research methodology as well as design insights and implications that resulted from the study.

This paper presents findings from a series of field trials, where Near Field Communication (NFC) tags were used for providing users an access to Mobile Internet content with NFC enabled mobile phones in a city setting. The field trials were arranged in the city of Oulu at the end of year 2007. Use statistics and user experience were collected from more than 180 users who used NFC enabled mobile phones to access Mobile Internet content by touching NFC tags embedded in the environment. The findings indicate that the users found the touch-based mobile content access easy to use. However, details such as the placement of the tags or static/dynamic nature of the content had a clear impact on the user behaviour and perceived quality. Based on these findings, we have identified a set of design principles that work as guidelines for the designers and researchers developing NFC applications.

Isomursu, Minna, Isomursu, Pekka and Still, Kaisa (2004): Capturing tacit knowledge from young girls. In Interacting with Computers, 16 (3) pp. 431-449
Young girls are a user group often neglected in the design of technical devices. In this paper, we describe a method for involving pre-teen and teen girls in a concept design process. With this target group we have experienced serious challenges in applying traditional participatory design methods, such as observations or interviews. As a solution, we have adopted a web-based storytelling environment where our target group is encouraged to create usage scenarios of a mobile terminal that would support their activities in a virtual community. Our results show that this approach is a very natural and fruitful method of involving this target group in the design process.
