VIP-lab: a virtual lab for ICT experience prototyping

Abstract

In this paper we present a 'Virtual Lab for ICT Experience Prototyping' as a joint organization of a number of research groups in Belgium and the Netherlands. the main goal of the project is to provide a multidisciplinary, profiled, accessible service, organizing all of the prototyping steps for ICT in enterprises. To develop user-friendly prototypes, our approach will be based on ICT Experience Prototyping. We will describe a case study to illustrate the methodology, with special attention to observations of target users. The end product of this case study will be an evaluated prototype of a flexible user interface for the mobile journalist.
