Abstract<br />

In this thesis we explore how to create a technical artefact by using a user centred design process.<br />

First we examine which product to develop with the requirement a technical carriable artefact that<br />

uses two-way communication. This is decided to be a travel guide application for a SmartPhone.<br />

Then we define the goal users accordingly with the product. These are determined to be early<br />

adopters, urban consumers and SmartPhone users. The goal users are then used throughout the<br />

design process of the product and a prototype is created.<br />

The methodology used throughout the project is user centred accordingly with the theoretical<br />

framework presented. We use focus groups and a design workshop to develop a prototype together<br />

with the users. In between the processes we use mind mapping to maintain the creative process<br />

within the product development. Finally a prototype of the travel guide application is presented,<br />

developed by a user centred process.<br />
