PEARL
The PEARL system foresees a seamless setup and integration of leading-edge technology within three organisational layers that employees can alternate between freely: The home, the office, and various workplaces. Especially in the creative industries sector, a flexible and comfortable working environment is the key for a successful and satisfying work experience. For this reason, PEARL develops flexible solutions for the task and work flow management, for ergonomic adaptations of the workplaces themselves, as well as for training activities. With the help of innovative surface and mobile computer technology, employees will be able to choose where they want to conduct which tasks, be it at home or the various workplaces at the office. A decision support system will guide the initial configuration of the system according to the special needs of each employee. In order to assure relevance, ease-of-use and enjoyment we will involve end users and stakeholders across all the phases of the project following a user-centred design approach.
