Abstract

We present a method for analyzing user needs and defining requirements for the design of a prototype system for the management and exploitation of digital photo collections The method combines participatory design sessions with families and interviews realized at family homes. The paper describes briefly the overall process and shows how participatory techniques involving families as active participants made it possible to collect a maximum of data about the needs and expectations of users in a short period of time.
