Is an app the right way to guide visitors to the central Hospital in Karlstad? A new research study will try to provide an answer to that question. The study is a breakthrough for research in real location within DigitalWell.
The methodology is developed at Karlstad University and for the trials a prototyping system called Ozlab is used.
“It looks like an app but is controlled by a real person.
Why did you choose the Dance Pedagogy programme?
