About the project

This PhD project seeks to explore design for situational adaptation in the interaction between professional users and the systems they are using. The project is based on cases from the maritime domain, representing complex and high-risk user contexts. The research is centered around how distributed and multimodal technology used in these cases, such as design of augmented reality technologies for ship bridges, can be conceptually framed in order to support designers who are designing for situational adaptation. The project is closely related to other research projects through case studies within the OpenBrigde project, the EU-project SEDNA and the upcoming OpenAR project.
