Farnham, Shelly D., McCarthy, Joseph F., Patel, Yagnesh, Ahuja, Sameer, Norman, Daniel, Hazlewood, William R. and Lind, Josh (2009): Measuring the impact of third place attachment on the adoption of a place-based community technology. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2009. pp. 2153-2156. Available online

“CoCollage is a placed-based community technology that leverages the power of online social networking to facilitate awareness and face-to-face interactions in a third place. We adapted standardized measures of place attachment, social networks and psychological sense of community to provide a framework grounded in the social science literature for studying real world adoption of place-based community technologies. We found the standardized measures of place attachment and psychological sense of community meaningfully predicted likelihood of technology adoption and usage in a café. We discuss some lessons learned from our initial deployment of CoCollage in a real-world setting to support a nascent place-based community.”

McCarthy, Joseph F., Congleton, Ben and Harper, F. Maxwell (2008): The context, content & community collage: sharing personal digital media in the physical workplace. In: Proceedings of ACM CSCW08 Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work 2008. pp. 97-106. Available online

“Online social media services enable people to share many aspects of their personal interests and passions with friends, acquaintances and strangers. We are investigating how the display of social media in a workplace context can improve relationships among collocated colleagues. We have designed, developed and deployed the Context, Content and Community Collage, which runs on large LCD touchscreen computers installed in eight locations throughout a research laboratory. This proactive display application senses nearby people via Bluetooth phones, and responds by incrementally adding photos associated with those people to an ambient collage shown on the screen. This paper describes the motivations, goals, design and impact of the system, highlighting the ways the system has increased interactions and improved personal relationships among coworkers at the deployment site. We also look at how the creation of a shared physical window into online media has affected the use of that media.”

“Academic conferences provide a social space for people to present their work and interact with one another. However, opportunities for interaction are unevenly distributed among the attendees. We seek to extend the opportunities for interaction among attendees by using technology to enable them to reveal information about their background and interests in different settings. We evaluate a suite of applications that augment three physical social spaces at an academic conference. The applications were designed to augment formal conference paper sessions and informal breaks. A mixture of qualitative observation and survey response data are used to frame the impacts from both individual and group perspectives. Respondents reported on their interactions and serendipitous findings of shared interests with other attendees. However, some respondents also identify distracting aspects of the augmentation. Our discussion relates these results to existing theory of group behavior in public places and how these social space augmentations relate to awareness as well as the problem of shared interaction models.”

McCarthy, Joseph F. and boyd, danah m. (2005): Digital backchannels in shared physical spaces: experiences at an academic conference. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2005 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2005. pp. 1641-1644. Available online

“There are a variety of digital tools for enabling people who are physically separated by time and space to communicate and collaborate. Widespread use of some of these tools, such as instant messaging and group chat, coupled with the increasingly availability of wireless Internet access, have created new opportunities for using these collaboration tools by people sharing physical spaces in real time. Such 'digital backchannels' affect interactions and experiences in a variety of ways, depending on the spaces, the participants, and the relationships among them. We focus on the space of an academic conference, a physical space designed for voluntary participation by people with shared interests, seeking to share knowledge and connect with others. We present and analyze system logs and interview data from a recent conference, highlight some of the advantages and disadvantages experienced both by those who used the tools and by those who did not, and discuss implications and considerations for future use and research.”

McCarthy, Joseph F., McDonald, David W., Soroczak, Suzanne, Nguyen, David H. and Rashid, Al Mamunur (2004): Augmenting the social space of an academic conference. In: Proceedings of ACM CSCW04 Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work 2004. pp. 39-48. Available online

“Academic conferences provide a social space for people to present their work, learn about others' work, and interact informally with one another. However, opportunities for interaction are unevenly distributed among the attendees. We seek to extend these opportunities by allowing attendees to easily reveal something about their background and interests in different settings through the use of proactive displays: computer displays coupled with sensors that can sense and respond to the people nearby. We designed, implemented and deployed a suite of proactive display applications at a recent academic conference: AutoSpeakerID augmented formal conference paper sessions; Ticket2Talk augmented informal coffee breaks. A mixture of qualitative observation and survey response data are used to frame the impacts of these applications from both individual and group perspectives, highlighting the creation of new opportunities for both interaction and distraction. We end with a discussion of how these social space augmentations relate to the concepts of focus and nimbus as well as the problem of shared interaction models.”

McCarthy, Joseph F., boyd, danah, Churchill, Elizabeth F., Griswold, William G., Lawley, Elizabeth and Zaner, Melora (2004): Digital backchannels in shared physical spaces: attention, intention and contention. In: Proceedings of ACM CSCW04 Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work 2004. pp. 550-553. Available online

“There are a variety of digital tools for enabling people who are separated by time and space to communicate and collaborate on shared interests and tasks. The widespread use of some of these tools, such as instant messaging and group chat, coupled with the increasingly widespread availability of wireless access to the Internet (WiFi), have created new opportunities for using these collaboration tools by people sharing physical spaces in real time. The use of these tools to augment face-to-face meetings has created benefits for some participants and distractions-and detractions-for others. Our panelists will discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of these emerging uses of collaborative tools.”

“Environmental factors affecting shared spaces are typically designed to appeal to the broadest audiences they are expected to serve, ignoring the preferences of the people actually inhabiting the environment at any given time. Examples of such factors include the lighting, temperature, decor or music in the common areas of an office building. We have designed and deployed MusicFX, a group preference arbitration system that allows the members of a fitness center to influence, but not directly control, the selection of music in a fitness center. We present a number of empirical results from our work with this intelligent environment: the results of a poll of fitness center members, a quantitative evaluation of the performance of a group preference arbitrator in a shared environment, and some interesting anecdotes about members' experiences with the system.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996 ”
