[Pervasive Media discuss] People with opinions needed

[Gill Wildman]

Hi there

We're seeking out people for some research we're doing at the  
weekend. I hope you don't mind us asking round the mailing list and I  
wondered if some of you might know of people who would be ideal for  
us to talk to.

This is what we're doing, and who we are looking for:

Do you know of any people who might let us interview them?

We’d like to do some user research for Happy towns this weekend –  
Saturday 23rd to Monday 25th February, when people are at home and  
available.

Could you help us find some people we could interview for about an  
hour and a half?

We’re looking for people at different stages of their lives, like this:
• A man who is head of the family
• A woman who is head of the family
• An infant school child or a junior school
• Teenagers in pre-exam study time
• Someone who owns their own business
• A grandfather or a grandmother
• A student
• An unmarried young couple just starting out
• A couple with a new baby
...

Ideally we can get them in pairs – so a grandfather with a teenager,  
or a child with a dad (if that’s feasible).

We are looking for at least 12 people in pairs of two. Ideally we  
would like a diverse mixture of male and female,  ethnic backgrounds,  
and class who live in Bristol and fit the following descriptions.

They own and use a mobile device. They use the internet a little or a  
lot.
They might be technology lovers or technology haters.
They do things that are considered new age or they are cynical about  
such things

You will also suspect that they think like this...
They might be a very responsible person, or completely self-absorbed  
and hedonistic,
They might be pretty content with their lot, or they may be driven to  
get the best out of life
They like people a lot and are constantly in touch, or they mostly  
like to keep to themselves

We are designers who are looking at some early stage prototypes for a  
Bristol based project called Media Sandbox. Our goal is to figure out  
how we can design things that will make what they are doing now  
either better, or easier in the future.

We want to learn about what people do to make themselves happy.

We want to come and do an in-depth interview with you.  It will take  
about 1.5 hours. If this sounds like something you know someone would  
be interested in participating in, then we will be doing the research  
between the 23rd and 25th February 2008.

Please contact Gill on 07966209615 or mail gill at plotsite.net.

and with many thanks in advance!
