Engaging the Periphery for Visual Communication on Mobile Phones
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. - : IEEE.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- While mobile phones have become ubiquitous instruments of communication and social interaction, they still require explicit interaction, placing high demands on attention. Engaging the periphery of users’ attention offers opportunities for awareness and interaction while reducing demands on attention and risks of disruption. We explore the mobile peripheral design space with Emotipix, an application for camera phones that turns the background of the phone’s display into a place for visual conversations. We conducted an exploratory 2-week user study with 6 pairs and one 4- person group, and found that Emotipix facilitated ongoing social practices. Our study shows that there is an unexploited opportunity to use mobile phones for peripheral awareness. We provide recommendations for managing users’ expectations, desires for control, and privacy in mobile peripheral display design.

Interactive Performances as a Means of Social Participation and Democratic Dialogue
- 2014
-
Ingår i: International Reports on Socio-Informatics (IRSI). - 1861-4280. ; 11:1, s. 11-20
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this position paper we present our ongoing research in relation to cultivating democracy and civic participation through the writing and performance of interactive theater experiences1. We provide an example of a performance that facilitates audience participation through expression and sharing of opinions and emotions, by means of digital technologies. The performance leads to further discussion within the community and inspires more artistic and theatrical experiences in this context.

New interaction modes for rich panoramic live video experiences
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Behavior and Information Technology. - 0144-929X .- 1362-3001. ; 33:8, s. 859-869
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The possibilities of panoramic video are based on the capabilities of high-resolution digital video streams and higher bandwidth's opportunities to broadcast, stream and transfer large content across platforms. With these opportunities also come challenges such as how to focus on sub-parts of the video stream and interact with the content shown on a large screen. In this paper, we present studies of two different interaction modes with a large-scale panoramic video for live experiences; we focus on interactional challenges and explore if it is (1) possible to develop new interactional methods/ways of approaching this type of high-resolution content and (2) feasible for users to interact with the content in these new ways. We developed prototypes for two different interaction modes: an individual system on a mobile device, either a tablet or a mobile phone, for interacting with the content on the same and a non-touch gesture-based system for the home or small group interaction. We present pilot studies where we explore the possibilities and challenges with these two interaction modes for panoramic content.

Social Infrastructures as Barriers and Foundation for Informal Learning : Technology Integration in an Urban After-School Center
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Computer Supported Cooperative Work. - : Springer. - 0925-9724 .- 1573-7551. ; 21:1, s. 81-103

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we explore the relationship between social learning environments and the technological ecologies that practitioners, learners, and researchers develop to sustain them. Through an examination of ethnographic research conducted at an urban after- school learning program we show how social, technological and power infrastructures influence learning and interaction in this setting. Adopting a holistic approach we examine how technologies are integrated into activities in this program to support the learning of the after-school youth. We emphasize both positive and negative infrastructures that contribute to the learning environment and discuss how identifying these infrastructures are one of the first steps towards understanding and informing technology design in informal learning settings.

Social networking on the go: Students' socialization in the age of Facebook
- 2010
-
Ingår i: International conference on Human factors in computing systems (CHI). - : ACM.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Most research regarding online social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Linked-In and Friendster has looked at these networks in terms of activity within the online network, such as profile management and friending behavior. In this paper we are instead focusing on offline socializing structures around an online social network (exemplified by Facebook) and how this can facilitate in- person social life for students. Because students lead nomadic lives, they find Facebook a particularly useful tool for initiating and managing social gatherings, and as they adopt mobile technologies that can access online social networks, their ad-hoc social life is further enabled. We conclude that online social networks are a powerful tool for encouraging peripheral friendships, important in particular to students. We emphasize that the use of online social networks must be viewed from a perspective of use that involves both mobile and stationary platforms and that it is important to relate online and offline social practices.

The Mismeasurement of Privacy : Using Contextual Integrity to Reconsider Privacy in HCI
- 2012
-
Ingår i: CHI '12. - New York : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450310154 ; , s. 367-376
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Privacy is a widely studied concept in relation to social computing and sensor-based technologies; scores of research papers have investigated people’s ‘privacy preferences’ and apparent reluctance to share personal data. In this paper we explore how Ubicomp and HCI studies have approached the notion of privacy, often as a quantifiable concept. Leaning on several theoretical frameworks, but in particular Nissenbaum’s notion of contextual integrity, we question the viability of obtaining universal answers in terms of people’s ‘general’ privacy practices and apply elements of Nissenbaum’s theory to our own data in order to illustrate its relevance. We then suggest restructuring inquiries into information sharing in studies of state-of-the-art technologies and analyze contextually grounded issues using a different, more specific vocabulary. Finally, we provide the first building blocks to such vocabulary.

The Sociality of Fieldwork : Designing for Social Science Research Practice and Collaboration
- 2012
-
Ingår i: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 17TH ACM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SUPPORTING GROUP WORK. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450314862 ; , s. 35-44
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Supporting scientific practice has been a longstanding goal of CSCW research. This paper explores how we might design for social science research practices and collaboration. Drawing on sixteen interviews with fieldwork-based social scientists we document the importance of small-scale long-term collaborative arrangements for research and intellectual work - pairs of researchers who work together in-depth over their careers, developing a common yet distinctive view of their research field. This contrasts with the large-scale short-lived collaborations that have classically been the target of cyber-infrastructure work. We describe technology practices among social scientists and how these can inform technology design for fieldwork practices.

Watching the footwork : second screen interaction at a dance and music performance
- 2014

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Interactive mobile technologies have become part of audience experiences of live performances in terms of both general media sharing and specific (sometimes official) extra content. At the same time, high bandwidth affords streaming of live events to mobile devices. We take advantage of these technologies in our high resolution, panoramic image video stream and study a scenario of audience members viewing the very same live event they are watching on a tablet. The video stream on the tablet is navigational and enables audience members to pan and zoom in the real-time video feed. We studied audience interaction and impressions in three performances of a dance and music show and found distinct uses of the second screen video stream. We emphasize that despite initial reluctance, the observed utilization of the technology opened up for new potential practices. Our study shows how working with perceived conflict in technology can still open up design space for interactive technologies.

TagPad : Supporting Field Interviews and Analysis
- 2013
-
Ingår i: iConference 2013 Proceedings<em></em>. - : iShools. - 9780988490000 ; , s. 316-325
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The area of cyberinfrastructures has looked extensively at research within the natural sciences, however, the social sciences have been largely overlooked in terms of novel data collection and analysis systems. We developed a probe tool, TagPad, to look at the process for social science data collection through interviews and surveys. Our research participants found that TagPad facilitated structuring of interviews but we also found that the setting in which the interview takes place is essential to the success of using this particular tool. We conclude suggesting future designs of social science research tools.
