Kenton returned to HP Labs in September 2004
to join the Mobile Bristol team. He will be conducting User Research
for the group to identify the social and behavioural factors that
shape the design and use of emerging technologies.
Prior to joining HP labs, Kenton worked at the Appliance
Studio, another partner on the Mobile Bristol project, Xerox Research
Centre Europe in Cambridge (EuroPARC), and BT Laboratories. His
research has utilised a variety of behavioural science approaches
from field studies to experiments, and combines closely with design
concerns to transform user insights into technology solutions. His
work has explored a wide variety of topics including collaborative
music consumption, public and situated displays, affordances of
paper, local and remote collaboration, reading and writing, context
aware computing, smart environments, mobile work and mobile communication.
He has published many articles on these areas of interest as well
as the books, "Public and Situated Displays" and the forthcoming
"Social and collaborative aspects of new music technology"
Kenton has a degree in Psychology from the University
of Nottingham and a PhD in the Psychology of Human-Computer Interaction
from the University of Cardiff.
