Do you enjoy taking pictures with your camera phone? Do you own a Nokia
6600 or 6630? Then you have the possibility to test a new way to take
digital pictures by trying out our software prototype.
The Viktoria Institute in Göteborg is a Swedish research institute in
applied information technology. We invite you to participate in a
non-commercial research study starting in June 2005 about new types of
digital photography. You get to try out a software programme that visually
incorporates sound and movement into the pictures you take (see pictures
below). We call this "context photography".
We hope that you would like to participate and try taking pictures and
uploading them to a website. You will be asked to answer some questions at
two occasions during the study. The programme will not affect any other
software on your camera phone and you can still take regular pictures when
the programme is not in use. After the study you may keep the program free
of charge.
This is how it works:
1. Send us an e-mail to [log in to unmask] to tell us you are
interested in participating. Please write [Photo study] as the subject of
your e-mail. 2. The study starts in June 2005 and lasts four weeks. We
will send you instructions and the programme, which is easy to download to
your camera phone. Now you can start taking pictures! 3. During the study
you are expected to upload your pictures to a website. We will contact you
twice by e-mail to ask questions about the prototype. 4. After four weeks
the study is over and you may keep the software for free.
We look forward to your participation!
