-Tactics and Concepts for Highly Mobile People

Acknowledgement
Writing this dissertation is not just the work of one person – many others have been
involved and helped me get here. I would like to thank you all.
First of all I would like to thank my mentor and supervisor Peter Gall Krogh, for leading
me into the field of interaction design eight years ago. You helped me develop an opinion
of what future we want to shape through design and technology, that later led to
collaborating in this research project both as colleagues and in a student-­‐supervisor
relationship. I would like to thank you for providing me with professional support as well
as giving me the freedom of making my independent work. It has been good fun!
This would not have been possible if it was not for The Advanced Technology Foundation
and Bang & Olufsen who sponsored the research of the Mobile Home Center project. I
appreciate the guidance from my changing managers from Christopher Sørensen and
Peter Petersen in the initial phase to Flemming Møller Pedersen in the second part.
A special thank goes to all the colleagues in the team, especially Marianne Graves
Petersen, for contributing with great energy as the project leader in the MHC group and
an inspiring mentor into HCI research, Lyle Clarke for making this matter in B&O, Sam de
Jongh Hepworth, for guiding me around in the company and sparring about implementing
user insights. Working with Ida Winther has been highly insightful and I wish to thank her
for the insights and sparring about the ethnographic field of research.
I send high appreciation to Jeffrey Serio – it was very inspiring to work with you. I also
wish to thank Thomas Møller Lassen for great ideation, graphical assistance and
continuing the work while I was on maternal leave. I furthermore wish to thank Kaspar
Rosengren Nielsen, Rasmus Gude and Morten Mortensen for their patience in regards of
specifications and constant changes of the technical requirements. So cool that you can
make things work! It has been great working with you.
I also wish to thank the people at Interactive Spaces for including me in the stimulating
milieu with Kaj Grønbæk in charge. I would also like to mention Jonas Fritz for his
deleuzian sparring and wise inputs. Moreover the school of Architecture has provided an
inspiring work context with great colleagues. Thanks to my office buddies Maiken
Fogtman and Sofie Kinch for great sparring and enjoyable working nights in the office. I
