A new study by Jana Pejoska, Geist co-founder, proposes methods to broaden perspectives

The article was co-authored by Eva Durall (Interact, School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, Oulu University, Oulu, Finland), Merja Bauters (School of Digital Technologies, Tallinn University, Tallinn, Estonia) and Teemu Leinonen (Department of Media, School of Art, Design and Architecture, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland).
