I and my colleagues were running the first ‘ Children, Mobile phones and Learning’ pilots in Finland and perhaps in Europe. In the EU IST MOBIlearn project we were responsible for the adaptive user interface development (and mobile learning evaluation). As you can see, I have also worked for a teleoperator .That was an eye-opening experience.
This Armapartners PDF is available in Examples: Innocentive – networked R&D – Strong ”company to university faculties&researchers” network. Still, not very open, not very ”Web 2.0”. Fabjectory – design rings – co-creation in a sense that Fabjectory with it’s user-designers help original VR-companies and their users to improve their 3D and real world models. Bookmooch – users create language-version and ”localise” services. Total Visibility, based on openness and trust. (Still, the site itself looks old, no fancy AJAX user interfaces ;-) Miss Helga – VW uses MySpace as a platform to create an interactive ad + a configurator (Test drive session) InnerTee – User created and mixed t-shirt designs attract visitors. Other good examples?
