Abstract: The experience provided by a product (or service) is one of the major factors in a consumer’s choice of that product. As the long-expected era of pervasive mobile computing becomes reality, it will continue to be essential that Hewlett-Packard is able to deliver products and services that indirectly enable or directly deliver compelling experiences. The 4D experience project in HPLabs, Bristol is exploring both what constitutes a compelling experience and how they might be delivered through the emerging technologies. In this non-technical introduction to our work, we outline our motivation and approach, and briefly describe two case studies, the Zap Scan exhibit at Explore@Bristol and a photographic exhibition augmented with a context-sensitive digital soundscape.
