Communication is good, CommUnification is better

A bit of promotion for interesting research, also posted at the FutureWorkspaces.nl teamblog:

CommUnification is a design concept conceived to address the In Sync and In Touch challenges faced by nomadic and highly mobile workers.

The project is an initiative by User-System Interaction students at the Eindhoven University of Technology. It is based on interview findings that nomadic and highly mobile workers are challenged by such problems as communication fragmentation (across multiple channels) and disregard for time zone differences.

These problems signal a disconnect between colleagues and peers, especially when in different geographic locations. After qualitative research, the team has generated a design concept, which can be seen in their video prototype. Furthermore, they seek to evaluate their concept through interviews and a currently ongoing survey.

If you would like to provide feedback via this survey, please feel free to do so!
