Introductions
As a proven way to reveal the shared values, beliefs and practices that inform �the decisions we make and the actions �we take as social beings, we are poised �for a resurgence of interest in ethnography for experience design. This new interest is being driven by the designer’s increasing concerns for:
§ Context – as computing expands beyond the desktop,
§ Emotion – as we seek new ways of evaluating satisfaction and �engagement, and
§ Behavior – as the explicit goal of behavior change becomes more critical to design practice.

From Greek
