Scott(32, male), from Pasadena


Scenario 1 : at the airport    
Scott, who lives in Pasadena, is preparing to travel to visit a friend in Japan for 15 days.

Sara, his girl friend, drives for him to get to LAX.

When as they enter LAX, Scott's personal device asks if it can interface with the local LAX traveling system. He tells it to make the connection.

The device tells them which terminal is for Japan Air and where they can park. It gives them directions by way of a "compass arrow" pointing them in the right direction. When turned sideways it displays landmarks they can check their progress against.

As they enter Tom Bradley terminal, the device shows the boarding process. First step is screening luggage.

Scotty hold the device comfortably in his one free hand as it guides them to the baggage checkin line. When they are on the line, it tells them it will be a 10 min wait and offer alternatives like sky cab.

At the ticketing counter, Scott gives device to the agent and his boarding pass and luggage tags are downloaded into the device. He can now use the device to check his gate number, departure time, and seat assignment.

Scott and Sara are hungry. They use the device to find a restaurant with vegetarian food. And use the device to find it in the airport.

While they eat, Sara helps him choose a small gift for his friend in Japan. Since Sara can't go to the duty free shop they use the device to browse the selection.

The device then alarms that it is 30 minute till boarding. They kiss goodbye and then Scott heads towards security and customs.

On the way he gets lost and must extend the devices roll up screen. The now larger screen shows him a complete map of the terminal and where he is in it.

Scott passes customs and then goes to the duty free shop. It shows him the item he wanted and he pays for it with the device.

The Device shows the ways to get gate number 12 for boarding.

 
 
 
 
 
 



Scenario 2 : in-flight    
Scott board the plane last. As he gets on the plane his device interfaces with the planes on board system. The device tells him where there is still room in an overhead bin and he puts his carry on there. The device remembers that location, along with confirming that his checked baggage in now on the same plane as him.

Scott sits in his the seat and extends the device's roll up screen. Now the device shows In-flight services instead of the airport system.

He starts to plan for the 11 hours that he will spend on the airplane. He checks mealtimes and the menu first. He sees that the flight attendance can prepare vegetarian food with black coffee and apple juice for him and that he can order that through the device in advance.

While there is a display for his coach seat, he prefers the hi-res one built into his device. He is able to access the same entertainment content as others on the plane and doesn't have to pay for it because that content won't work outside of the plane. In this entertainment mode he uses the devices standard interface controls, so he doesn't have to learn anything new.

After watching a movie, he tries to learns Japanese through the device, a feature the plane enables. But he gets bored trying to learn a language from a computer.

He posts to the planes internal message board that he would like a Japanese tutor. After a few minutes, he contacted by a Japanese man and they agree to meet in the planes lounge.

The device alarms 1 hours before their arrival at Narita airport.

He uses the device to access the planes system and check what paperwork he will need to disembark. He is missing a form and uses an onboard printer to print it out and sign it.

While circling the airport Scott uses the device to find ground transportation and plan out where he is going in the airport.

As he leaves the plane the device reminds him where his carry on is.

As it did in LAX the device leads him through the airport, this time interfacing with the Narita system.

While going to the baggage claim, the device notifies him that his bags will be delayed for 15 minutes so he slows down to take in the sight of a busy Japanese airport.

He gets to baggage claim with perfect timing and uses the device to check he has the right bags.

Scott's friend is waiting outside and he is ready to experience Japan.
