Abstract
This paper presents a mobile hand gesture toolkit enabling the co-design of mobile interaction interfaces for runners. Runners are using smart phones for exercising more than ever before. However previous research has shown that mobile devices are not suitable for interactions in motion. This paper presents a method to probe such interactions for and with runners using a participatory design approach. We demonstrate in a pilot design workshop how participants can tell their mobile interaction story, make their own mobile hand gesture interface, and enact their story using their created artifacts. These artifacts are functional and used in the participants' everyday workouts. The participants can revise them as an ongoing practice of design-in-use
