Abstract

Lack of usability frameworks for developing countries has contributed to designing and deploying systems that fails at a high rate. This paper discusses a research effort on how rejuvenated Living Lab concept can contribute to designing usability frameworks for developing countries. Living Lab is a user centric innovative setting that involves everyday practices and research that facilitates user influence approach in an open and distributed innovation processes. The concept enables engaging relevant partners in a real life context for addressing usability issues.
