Hi,
I've compiled the articles into one document which I've emailed to you and I've started to link and compare them as best I can.
Can everyone please read over the abstracts by tomorrow (as well as your summaries) and also think of links and comparisons that might be useful?
Daniella can you send through what you have asap so we can add it in?
I think we will have too many articles, but at least it will be easier to get rid of some than try to find more.
Once we have all the summaries and have worked out the structure I'll be able to write the document up and we can all review it before Thursday.
I think we are on track!
Thanks everyone for your input.

Lit review
Hi,
If everyone could send me the details and Abstract of the articles we decided to include last night i can get started on forming the lit rev. All you need to do is copy and paste the article details; ISSN, name, etc and the abstract into a word doc, like the one I sent the other day. I am going to start on it about 2pm, so please send them to me by then.
Can you also please start to summarise the articles into at least point form looking at the arguments and conclusions of each, I'll need this by 2pm Saturday.
Daniella, I hope your ankle is OK, please send through what you have asap and we'll see if we can work it into the doc. There must be some literature on Art galleries and public interaction, it's a pretty big industry so maybe focus on the art side rather than the retail side, as the retail research is probably all private and unavailable.
Thanks for all the great work done so far, it was great to see so many good articles last night.
Keep it up!

Group meeting on Monday August 24 2009
Group meeting on Monday August 24 2009
Attendees: Daniella, Jen, John, Kelly, Rachel
We discussed how to communicate well between research and design.
While talking about problems, many questions came out so we decided to find a solution though questions.
Also we will ask basic questions of those to interviewees.
Questions:
How do you find/search before you go out
How do you see
How often
How interested
What kind of art do you like/dislike (type)
Who do you with
How do you mix your journey
Pay or Free

Trying to find peer reviewed journals on consumer interaction is a bitch!
I found this fantastic journal that I dont think is peer reviewed, and needs to be paid for to get the full article.
But the abstract talks about some brilliant points that would relate really well to our project. I wish I could find out if it is peer reviewed at all or not.

I've printed it out, and I also have all my own literature I've collected from work as well.
How is everyone else going with their research??
Man, I need a coffee!

tasks :)
Hey
Hi,
These are things we need to do by next week.
1. read 2 articles: Summary and Critical Analysis
(Thanks Kelly, but weve talked last thursday hehe :D, I printed out one of them)
2. find articles related each topic
3. 5 questions each: email to John
(We have got 10 questions, so email to members if there are more)
4. 2 Interviews by Saturday
5. Take good care
so how are you guys doing?
lots of things to do?
I will send email again with details tomorrow...

HDG500-501 Group meeting: 23/08/09 Wk2
HDG500-501 Group meeting: 23/08/09 Wk2
Location: RMIT Library
Attendees: Daniella, Jen, John, Kelly, Rachel
Preliminary research review:
(We had identified a list of keywords for each member to research at the first group based class on the previous Thursday, this preliminary research was aimed at informing the direction and focus of our more detailed research for the Lit Rev.)
Daniella: Customer/public interaction information found
Jen: Melbourne guides relevant to art and other cultural areas found and shown to group, way-finding literature
John: Journal articles relating to interaction with technology, city navigation and pedestrian navigation.
Kelly: Details of galleries and locations, identifying search methods and search durations to locate relevant information
Rachel: Information display and interaction research
Discussion:
We discussed narrowing our research to the most relevant areas.
We wanted to be sure our research could be linked into our design goal and into a cohesive argument.
We discussed our project statement and decided to define it at this stage to inform our research and as we all felt comfortable with how far our discussions and research had progressed.
Project Statement:
We have identified the need for a simple and efficient system for our target market (considering age, gender and culture)to locate and navigate a range of art sites within a defined area of Melbourne, considering their interests and possible time constraints.
We decided on 4 focused areas of research that were relevant to our project that we felt could be linked to provide fertile grounds for a literature review on our subject. We also identified several variables that would be less likely to be informed by a literary review and more likely informed by secondary research.
These 4 areas are:
Information gathering, processing and outputting (interface)
physical manifestation of the system (hub) > <
user navigation maps (outputs)
^
user experience and feed back (usability of navigation info)
We realised that these areas overlap considerably so research will not be clearly divided between the groups, but rather we decided to allocate research topics by analysing the overlap between the topics to ensure we played to our strengths and created a cohesive document. We also decided on one of the team members being the collator of all documentation.
We listed definite research topics to ensure we were not trying to investigate too many disparate areas. The results of this discussion are shown below and research areas are listed by name.
To keep in mind the design goals of the project and to prepare for the design class Monday night, we developed a list of design limitations to align with our project statement and research topics
These covered the ‘who, what, where and when’ details that are required in a design sense to steer the project through the research phase and the beginnings of the design phase.
We ensured we retained several variables to be informed by secondary research, as we are wary of over-prescribing the design outcome at this early phase.
The details of this discussion are detailed below.
We had the following action points from our meeting to be completed by class Thursday:
• Gather literature relating to each topic that has been assigned (including a minimum of 2 Peer reviewed articles).
• Write a summary and analysis of each article gathered.
o Summary:
List main arguments in point form
Re-order arguments in order of importance
Re-write in brief essay form in own words
o Analysis:
Analysis of arguments
Is evidence strong or weak?
Do we agree with arguments?
If not, where do our considerations differ and why, what evidence do we have to the contrary.
• Compare papers in each area if possible:
o Compare summary points
o Are the arguments the same
o Which is stronger?
o Which are emphasised?
o List agreements, and disagreements
o Which is more current or relevant?

Interactive communication

This link is an introduction of Interactive Thru-Glass Keypad, which is one of the design product in a company called Interactive Communication, people standing outdoor can use the keypad to control an indoor information presentation.
http://www.interactive-communications.co.uk/index.html
It is just for the references of the interactive design search. I think it might helps to develop or get inspire of any idea for our project.
