Abstract

In this paper, we present an initial appliance idea that is to reflect the practice of queuing. This is to enable exploration on how the act of queuing might evolve with new appliances and experiences. Based on the notion that a good appliance is one with limited functionality, we have worked on a limited number of excerpts from the act of queuing. By using interactional features from the field as material for design, these features are formed into the Queuing Display, which reflects issues on queuing as such.
