Picture the space: three concepts for management and presentation of personal digital photographs

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. 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. Three interface concepts were developed as interactive prototypes and an empirical usability study assessed the experience of the interaction.
