Chapter X DESIGNING DISPLAYS FOR HUMAN CONNECTEDNESS
نویسنده
چکیده
How can we design displays that foster a sense of presence and awareness... that enhance a sense of community and togetherness... that enable human bonds to grow and flourish? Using five prototypes from the Human Connectedness research group at Media Lab Europe as a context for reflection, this chapter attempts to assemble a framework of questions and strategies for designers to consider when working to achieve these kinds of effects. The prototypes discussed include a media space that connects several physical locations in our organization, a video conference system based on the metaphor of a magic mirror, a video installation that displays layers of recorded social interaction, an ambient display for hospital patients in isolation wards, and a “sports over a distance” application with an “exertion” interface.

PresenceDisplays: Tangible Peripheral Displays for Promoting Awareness and Connectedness
Peripheral displays allow users to monitor an information source while focusing on a separate primary task. In this report, we present work investigating what form tangible peripheral displays of awareness information from instant messaging programs may take and the role these displays could have in existing communication practices by allowing the user to develop a sense of awareness and connec...

Background and Objectives: The aim of this research was to introduce architectural factors, influencing students' perception of school climate, having a great effect on students' achievement academically, mentally and physically, one of the problems of high school students is their unwillingness for learning and passes their times at educational setting. School connectedness has an effect on st...
متن کامل$L$-Topological Spaces
By substituting the usual notion of open sets in a topological space $X$ with a suitable collection of maps from $X$ to a frame $L$, we introduce the notion of L-topological spaces. Then, we proceed to study the classical notions and properties of usual topological spaces to the newly defined mathematical notion. Our emphasis would be concentrated on the well understood classical connectedness...
متن کاملDefining, Designing, and Evaluating Peripheral Displays: An Analysis Using Activity Theory
Peripheral displays are an important class of ubiquitous computing applications. However, the field has suffered from a lack of clear, consistent terminology surrounding peripheral display research. We present an Activity Theory analysis of peripheral displays in order to establish common terminology and meaning for peripheral displays. We also present an Activity Theory-based approach for desi...
متن کاملUniform connectedness and uniform local connectedness for lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces
We apply Preuss' concept of $mbbe$-connectedness to the categories of lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces and of lattice-valued uniform spaces. A space is uniformly $mbbe$-connected if the only uniformly continuous mappings from the space to a space in the class $mbbe$ are the constant mappings. We develop the basic theory for $mbbe$-connected sets, including the product theorem. Furtherm...
