We report on rich data we gained by implementing this method and argue that we were able to learn more about our prototype, users, their needs, and their context, than we would have through other evaluation methods. We look at the usability problems we uncovered and discuss how our flexibility in fieldtesting allowed us to observe unanticipated usage, from which we were able to motivate future design directions. Finally, we reflect on the importance of spending time in-situ during all stages of design, especially when designing across cultures.enDigital storytellingHCI4DMobile servicesMobile devicesConference PresentationReitmaier, T., Bidwell, N., & Marsden, G.
