Abstract
Media façades are one prominent example of how new
technologies currently augment urban spaces. At the same
time, they offer new, ubiquitous opportunities for novel
applications. To achieve a usable and enjoyable outcome,
however, designing interaction with media façades
demands a structured design process. In this paper, we
present our experiences designing iRiS, a system for remote
interaction on media façades. We approached the
development following a user-centered design approach and
addressing the process at two points with additional means:
(1) using a for this purpose created prototyping toolkit
testing and exploring both, content and hardware before
deploying the system on the actual façade and (2)
experimental use and adaptation of user experience (UX)
evaluation methods to investigate the users actions and
emotions more holistically in this context.
