PROJECT GOALS: • Toolkit and open collaborative platform to enable users and
companies to design, share and sell mobile applications or part of them.
• API aggregator / Internet of Things (IOT)
infrastructure and interface
PROJECT TEAMS: • Management, Business, Core Tech and Design. • We present the project from the prospective and work
of the design group.
PROJECT DECRIPTION
TASK: • The goal for the design group is to develop the touch point
between the users an the Satin Platform (UI)
• Focus on the language used to construct functionalities:
“How to enable lay person to program?”
• Make sense not teach how to program
PROJECT DECRIPTION
Mark Up Language Frontend editor UI
Backend compiler

SATIN EDITOR STRUCUTURE:
PROJECT DECRIPTION
PROCESS: • User Centered approach • Different interaction styles prototyped and
tested • Low Fi - Hi fi prototypes testing to what
extent people could create functionalities with these interfaces.
• Detailed account of the user centered
process and different versions of the prototypes developed > see paper

USER TEST RESULTS
UI DESIGN / HOW TO MAKE =
• We met the goal of creating a visual language with which people could construct functionalities and aggregate
different data sources.
• When asked “what did you do?” users were able to say: “I made an app to monitor and control my energy
consumption remotely and share my result with friends”
SATIN PLATFORM / WHY TO MAKE
• Users unable to see advantages in crafting and co-creating their apps vs. buy/download existing ones provided by a
company or an expert programmer.
• People found difficult to project themselves in a scenario where information is retrievable from any artifact or web
service at any time.
• Users not able to come out with tailored solutions
USER TEST RESULTS
FROM: ABSTRACT TO CONCRETE
REFLECTIONS
TO: CONCRETE TO ABSTRACT
Mismatch between concepts and foundations behind the Satin project and the foundations required by its deliverables:
WORK PRACTICES
Innovative disruptive intentions vs. established frameworks and practice
i.e. cognitivist approach
REFLECTIONS
INFORMATION FORMAT
Available information is top down impersonal, anytime, anywhere
NEW FOUNDATIONS AND WORK PRACTICES: holistic stance based on day-to-day experience
CONCLUSIONS
PEOPLE EXPERIENCE INDIRECT NEED OF TOOL
FOCUS ON CONTENT GENERATION/CURATION: contextualized and situated Information as a way to achieve meaning creation and user centeredness
LIMITS OF CURRENT INFRASTRUCUTURES In supporting design of collaborative tools and user innovation
THANK YOU.
