Inan initial step we systematically assessed factors inhibiting or promoting theshared use of public display space and derived design implications for providinga digital version of such public notice areas [2].

Withan initial lab study we aimed at understanding suitable means of interactionwhen it comes to creating, posting, and taking away content. «
