Abstract

Traditional desktop computers have a tendency to drag users towards the desk and away from the object of their work. Researchers working within fields covered by the term ‘tangible computing’ are trying to find ways to integrate computer technology in a more radical way and minimise the gravitation to a desk. In this paper, we argue for different interactional features that are connected to a design idea for monitoring treatment sessions of remote haemodialysis. We discuss interactional features with a non-traditional computer interface in a highly mobile work environment.
