Abstract

We present our experiences of using an iterative, prototype driven approach to developing social systems with the participation of communities, inspired by probe-based methodologies. This approach is illustrated by our attempts to design and understand the role of situated display technologies in a rural community, which has led to the development of a photo display and digital notice board, guided by the community's involvement.
