TEI in the Wild

Abstract

interfaces have been published academically, and many systems com­ mercialized in industry. Here, we survey dozens of these examples, focusing on interfaces that were deployed and evaluated “in the wild” [Rogers and Marshall 2017] within real-world settings, including homes, classrooms, and indoor and outdoor public places. In particular, we survey three dominant application domains: learning, social connectedness, and health and wellbeing. However, these application domains are neither mutually exclusive nor exhaustive as we have seen a wide expansion of tangible that cross domain boundaries and address novel use scenarios. When pos­ sible, we will indicate sister surveys, which further focus on particular application areas. For example, Shaer and Hornecker’s [2010] survey of application domains for TEI covers additional application domains, which we do not survey here. Our goal for this chapter is to demonstrate how the theory and practice of TEI can be applied to make a difference in the real world. TEI in the Wild
