The work that was presented in this chapter illustrates the systematic approach in my research.
The objective is not to focus on a particular technology, a particular problem, or a particular context.
Rather, I search for appropriate technologies for a given problem in a given context.
-The type of research questions I address is large and depends in particular on the expertise of my collaborators and the objectives of the research project.
+It gives me the flexibility to address many different types of research questions depending on the expertise of my collaborators and the objectives of the research project.
+This is to me the key factor to conduct interdisciplinary research.
+%The type of research questions I address is large and depends in particular on the expertise of my collaborators and the objectives of the research project.
For example in the \emph{Activibe} project, I collaborated with other researchers in HCI who were interested in using haptic cues for promoting behavior change.
The focus was not on designing a new device or even new haptic technologies, but to design a way to encode information with an off-the-shelf device.
Hence, we worked on the design, implementation, and evaluation of tactons.
