June 2005
Hi,
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 picturethis@viktoria.se
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!
Best regards,
Lalya Gaye, Maria Häkansson and Sara Ljungblad
