Abstract

This paper describes the results from a scenario workshop within the Smart-Its projects funded by the European Union. The aim of the workshop was to identify feasible application areas for Smart-Its, small computational units that can be attached to everyday objects and through collaboration in ad hoc networks provide useful functionality. The paper describes the scenarios and the method used to create them, the results gained and the use of scenario methods for interaction designers within the field of ad hoc collaboration.
