Abstract

The value of serendipity is widely acknowledged in the literature. However there is little support to stimulate serendipity through technology based on the understanding of the phenomenon from users' perspective. This study applied a mobile diary approach to investigate user requirements of systems that stimulate serendipity. Four types of requirements were derived including usability requirement and multifaceted personal, social, contextual requirements.
