7.1. Summary<br />

The reflections in the end of this dissertation concern the findings from the design<br />

experiments, the choice of methods <strong>and</strong> how it can be applicable <strong>for</strong> others. The design<br />

experiments regarding Connecting Interactions has led to design solutions that cover a<br />

rich variety of solutions that provide a home feeling through a range of communication<br />

channels. The choice of methods is founded in constructive research with a human-­‐<br />

centered design approach. The interviews acted as validation of the initial fieldwalks,<br />

though carried out through a different approach. The design experiments were carried<br />

out at a variety of completion <strong>and</strong> evaluation levels as different aspects are interesting to<br />

investigate in order to progress to the next experiment.<br />

Lastly this chapter provides considerations in regards of applying the Homing<br />

Interactions on other areas than Connecting. The details of the ethnographic studies are<br />

important to bear in mind when addressing the design sensitivities towards one or more<br />

Homing Interactions. Bubbling <strong>and</strong> Doubling seems to be addressed widely today, but<br />

there are potentials in making social bubbles. Territorializing, Artifacting, Differentiating<br />

<strong>and</strong> Rhythming are all Homing Interactions with unexplored opportunities <strong>for</strong> others to<br />

investigate.<br />
