Conceptualizing the everyday life application components: a scoping review of technology mediated experience

Mobile guide studies have mainly been applied in space related settings like museums, or archaeological sites and less in space related human everyday life. We propose a mobile guide components called Everyday Life Application (ELA), ELAs are tools that allow users to undergo an experience or convey to others the everyday life 'experiences' of another person. The paper answers the question: what are the components of an ELA? In order to answer this question, we conducted a scoping review and used assemblage theory during data analysis. This covered 12 relevant articles, out of 1,525 from Scopus and Web of Science database. The ELA have five components: experience entities, technology, media, interactivity, and encapsulated experience. The experience entities are subject, object, space, event, and hybrid experience. As there are few ELAs embodying human experience, more research needs to done and addressing this gap may bring the mobile guide and experience research closer to being societally relevant.
