This page briefly introduces our work on the Hermes Photo Display

The current Hermes Photo Display is deployed in Wray Village in the LuneValley, Lancashire. Click the following icon to visit the Wray Village homepage, further info and pictures of the current Hermes Photo Display deployment to follow...

The initial Hermes Photo Display (see below) was developed to enable users with a suitable phone to both send and receive pictures over Bluetooth.

We recently carried out an initial study into the use of the system - a copy of the questionaiire given to those who participated in the study is available here - we have recently submitted the results of the study to the 7th International Conference on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services.

You can view what is currently on display as well as some custom usage graphs extracted from the logs, or last week's activity.
