New technology is not enough!

Introduction to a LivingLab approach
Rapid technology development during recent years - Technology push. Next level of development is to gain full effect of opportunities – the Lisbon strategy. Technology is only valid if it is appealing, understandable, easy to use and cost efficient for the user. Obviously not a technology issue only
4
When “ambient is everything”! - surrounded by my Laptop
User in the centre – does not mean overloaded with technology! Focusing the end-user is not so easy! Attitudes, Knowledge, Context and Habits Understanding the user situation – understanding the effect!
5
Some drivers for the Living Lab concept
Technical complexity of communication networks. As a platform for large-scale demonstrations and trials Bring knowledge on human and market aspects into IST projects. Bringing new technology into “non-IT” companies – innovation business (e.g. process industry) Public-private partnerships European co-operation (incl NMS) A facilitator for Technology platforms

Living Labs – the conceptual idea
End-Users ..in a real world.. My IST project Evaluation Tech platform

Any IST project Evaluation Performance, interoperability, conformance Value creation, business models etc Usability, satisfaction, behaviour etc Technology Users Context

Living Labs towards the future - not a ready made concept
Increased understanding of the human being in the IT landscape – behaviour, learning, attitudes etc. What makes technology work? Increased adoption to differences among people. The pan-European approach. Differences in culture, context etc. Integration of new member states. Supporting the development of a mobile society - service interoperability. Methodology for increased interdisciplinary co-operation in projects – the collaborative approach
10
eInclusion aspects of Living Labs
Targeting elderly, people with disabilities and people cognitively impaired etc - consider the user/human aspects (technological implications). Turning the perspective – starting with the disabled instead of the ”normal” being? Bringing cognitive researchers, technology together in the real world – boosting industry solutions to real problems. Living Lab as a instrument to enhance inclusion in the information society.
