Recent work by our group at Motorola Labs has focused on applying the principles of ambient interfaces to th e domain of mobile communications. Our methods incorporate both formative ethnographic studies and field evaluation of prototypes to investigate how people make use of ambient information in the course of everyday communication. Our goal is to enable applications that provide rich pr esence information for close friends and family that is ap propriate to their particular tasks and social conventions. I n this paper, we briefly summarize the results of two prio r field studies of ambient awareness on mobile phones: shar ed motion presence and music listening history. We the n discuss our current efforts in context-aware photo sharing on the phone. Together, these studies provide insig hts about how people understand, use, and contextualize prese nce information. We also show how this information helps people stay connected and strengthens relationships . We hope to use these insights to establish how context ual information can be gathered, synthesized and displa yed to more effectively promote connectedness. |
