Creating a new business opportunity and technology platform
2009
Global publishing company DNP has a long history of delivering information on paper and other materials, yet wants to capitalize on the emerging trend of delivering information in digital formats. PARC ethnographers and technologists worked closely with DNP R&D groups to brainstorm, filter, develop, field-test, and prototype a context-aware mobile platform that recommends information and content about local leisure activities -- matched to the user’s location, time of day, and personal tastes.
