Abstract

Increasing numbers of personal digital photographs are occupying our computers' hard drives and require more time and thought to be organized. However spare time is limited and the handling of digital photographs has to compete with other leisure activities. This paper presents three interaction concepts aimed at engaging people with their personal digital photographs through a favourable user experience during their leisure time. The placement of the system in the living space, the incorporation of a handheld controller and the development of ludic interface concepts are considered as promising approaches to improve the acceptance and enjoyability of products for photo management in the home environment. The interface concepts were developed as interactive prototypes and an empirical usability study assesses the experience of the interaction. As well as this conceptual contribution we reflect on the process and methods used for designing and evaluating the novel interface concepts.
