ABSTRACT
In this paper, we explore design preferences and possibilities for smart handbags from the user perspective. We present designs and findings derived through a co-design process, which consisted of two studies; first with individual drawing based brainstorming (n=20), and second with two co-design workshops (n=10), where participants assessed different designs and features, and created low-fi prototypes of smart handbag concepts. Participants proposed large shape and style variations for smart handbags, according to the intended contexts, use cases, and lifestyle. In this respect the desire for modifiability, e.g. adapting in size and shape, was highlighted. The handbag's durability, weatherproofness and use of high quality materials were also raised.

Mindtrek '18: Proceedings of the 22nd International Academic Mindtrek ConferenceIn this paper, we present a design and prototype of a smart handbag, which detects the presence of the user's keys in the bag and shows it with an ambient display, consisting of LEDs embedded to the design. The handbag prototype is an example of a smart ...
Smart Handbag as a Wearable Public Display - Exploring Concepts and User Perceptions
AH '16: Proceedings of the 7th Augmented Human International Conference 2016Wearable computing has so far focused mostly on systems employing small displays, or no displays at all. In contrast, we explore the possibilities of a smart handbag that functions as a wearable public display, focusing on user perceptions of different ...
User perspective for interactive handbag design
MobileHCI '16: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services AdjunctIn this paper, we address handbags as interactive mobile devices. As handbags are typical accessories carried practically by half of the adult population when on the move, they offer an interesting and widely distributed platform for mobile computing. ...
