In the past decades, we have witnessed a proliferation of interactive public displays for advertisement, entertainment and exhibition. We believe they also have great potential in the public spaces of caring environments if supported by related knowledge of design and research. This study explores how to design and evaluate interactive public displays in caring environments with a case study. In this paper, we describe the design process of OutLook, which is part of an initial participatory system specially designed for nursing homes to explore the possibilities of connecting people. It aims to enhance nursing home residents' social wellbeing through a "look-outside" and a "postcard-sending" metaphor. A field trial was performed to assess the effects of OutLook on nursing home residents' social behavior and feelings of connectedness. Key design factors for the effects and lessons learned were proposed as regard to design concept, design ideation, form of design, content, interfaces, interactions and field trial.

在关怀环境中设计交互式公共显示器：以OutLook为例

在过去的几十年中，我们目睹了用于广告，娱乐和展览的交互式公共显示器的激增。我们相信，如果有相关设计和研究知识的支持，它们在贴心环境的公共空间中也具有巨大潜力。本研究通过案例研究探索了如何在护理环境中设计和评估交互式公共显示器。在本文中，我们描述了OutLook的设计过程，该过程是专门为养老院设计的初始参与系统的一部分，以探索与人们建立联系的可能性。它的目的是通过“外向”和“寄明信片”的比喻来提高养老院居民的社会福祉。进行了现场试验，以评估OutLook对疗养院居民的影响 社会行为和联系感。提出了影响和经验教训的关键设计因素，涉及设计概念，设计构想，设计形式，内容，界面，交互作用和现场试验。
