ABSTRACT
In this paper we present a Vision Seminar Process (VSP) inspired by Future Workshops and core values from the Participatory Design tradition and the application of this process at Swedish university for the purpose of envisioning the future of study-administrative work and supporting technical systems for students. We present and discuss the use of scenarios in this process as well as an extension of the original VSP where the scenarios authored by participating students have been combined into one combined scenario by the authors of this paper. Possible implications and lessons learned from this experiment and potential uses for the resulting combined scenario are discussed before concluding with a brief discussion of the implications of the actual contents of the combined scenario.

Everyday Life as a Stage in Creating and Performing Scenarios for Wireless Devices
Scenarios in HCI are widely used and discussed as written or visual narratives. In this paper, we discuss fruitful conditions for the creation and performance of scenarios particularly for the concept design of mixed realities or wireless devices. ...
