This two year project targets the challenge of designing ubiquitous media services for a multitude of devices and contexts to be consumed anytime and anywhere. Common issues have been identified, such as integration and maintenance, use and adoption of multi-channel services and interaction models. Targeting this challenge, the proposed project will be conducted as an action research effort where newspaper firms collaborate with researchers. Expected results from this project include guidelines for newspaper firms seeking ubiquitous infrastructure support for profitable media services that leverage user value. We proudly present the three movie clips, featuring Albin, Diana and Maria, that is one of the results from our UbiMedia project. The material to the movie clips was developed in collaboration with our nine newspaper partners. The movie clips was produced by Quincy.
