Huang, Elaine M., Harboe, Gunnar, Tullio, Joe, Novak, Ashley, Massey, Noel, Metcalf, Crysta J. and Romano, Guy (2009): Of social television comes home: a field study of communication choices and practices in tv-based text and voice chat. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2009. pp. 585-594. Available online

“Social television applications have emerged as a potentially valuable convergence of media and communication, but questions remain about the utility and nature of the communication experiences they will provide. We present our study of STV3, an application that adds freeform text and voice chat capabilities to the conventional television-viewing experience. We conducted an in-depth field study of STV3 to understand how friends integrate communication through social television into their lives. Our results reveal users' choices of communication modality, their topics of conversation, and the sense of connectedness that was fostered through their use of STV3. Our findings indicate that participants overwhelmingly preferred text chat to voice chat, and that they often communicated about topics unrelated to the television content.”

Harboe, Gunnar, Metcalf, Crysta J., Bentley, Frank, Tullio, Joe, Massey, Noel and Romano, Guy (2008): Ambient social tv: drawing people into a shared experience. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 1-10. Available online

“We examine how ambient displays can augment social television. Social TV 2 is an interactive television solution that incorporates two ambient displays to convey to participants an aggregate view of their friends' current TV-watching status. Social TV 2 also allows users to see which television shows friends and family are watching and send lightweight messages from within the TV-viewing experience. Through a two-week field study we found the ambient displays to be an integral part of the experience. We present the results of our field study with a discussion of the implications for future social systems in the home.”

Bentley, Frank R. and Metcalf, Crysta J. (2008): Location and activity sharing in everyday mobile communication. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 2453-2462. Available online

“We present a study on current, real-world communication of location and activity information based on analyzing context-sharing practices in recorded mobile phone calls. In 176 conversations, we found that over 70 percent contain disclosures of location or activity for one of eight main purposes. Based on our observations, we provide implications for the design of new systems for mobile social software.”

Bentley, Frank R. and Metcalf, Crysta J. (2007): Sharing motion information with close family and friends. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2007 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2007. pp. 1361-1370. Available online

“We present the Motion Presence application, an augmented phone book style application that allows close friends and family to view each other's current motion status ("moving" or "not moving") on their mobile phones. We performed a two week long field trial with 10 participants to observe usage and investigate any privacy concerns that might arise. We found that our participants used the motion information to infer location and activity as well as to plan communication, to help in coordinating in-person get-togethers, and to stay connected to patterns in each others' lives. Participants saw the motion data as mostly confirming their existing thoughts about the locations and activities of others and expressed few privacy concerns. In fact, they frequently asked for more information to be shared to make the application more compelling.”
