Make Yourself at Phone: Reimagining Mobile Interaction Architectures With Emergent Users
summary
A pocket-sized hardware module called APPropriate holds a private copy of a user’s phone content and uses local no-cost WiFi to sync to any Android device after PIN entry, transforming the borrowed phone’s apps, wallpaper and media and removing new captures on logout. Designers build a cheap pod and an Android app, test with 34 lab participants across South Africa, Kenya and India, then deploy with 32 people for five weeks; 27 choose to continue using it, highlighting gains in security and private device sharing.
