Community Bar: awareness, interaction and everything between
نویسنده
چکیده
Informal awareness and casual interaction tools are intended to help overcome some of the disadvantages that face distance separated knowledge workers by providing some of the subtle awareness cues and opportunities for casual interaction that are present in co-located settings. The design for such tools is usually bottom up, based on required feature lists. This paper takes a topdown approach. We start with a comprehensive sociological theory, the Locales Framework, and add a theoretical model of awareness for some extra detail. The theory, along with the Notification Collage and Sideshow systems, is used to generate a design for an informal awareness and casual interaction tool. An initial prototype called Community Bar is described, as well as plans for its next iteration. CR Categories: J4 [Social and Behavioural Sciences]-— Sociology.
