Voong, Michael and Beale, Russell (2008): Representing Location in Location-based Social Awareness Systems. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 139-142.

We analyze the results of a survey distributed to heavy users of social networking website on current mobile communications practices regarding location disclosure. We discovered that deception on location disclosure is a common practice amongst this demographic. We also discovered privacy issues of location are reduced in line with cue accuracy. We discuss the social behavior of deception in location sharing, and discover that online social network users are more open to revealing location, but more likely to be deceptive. We demonstrate the user interface of a mobile location-based awareness system that allows the user's location cue and disclosure accuracy to be set explicitly.

Voong, Michael (2008): Mobile Location-based Awareness and Connectedness. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 257-258.

Mobile social awareness systems open up new social opportunities by enabling the automatic disclosure of awareness cues. We are trying to understand which cues work best to achieve feelings of connectedness between users and identify valid and comprehensive effect measures to evaluate such systems in HCI. We choose to study specifically two sensors -- location, via GPS and movement, via accelerometers. The methodology of this research mixes in-lab testing with ethnographic studies using data to be collected using a self-report, ecologically valid technique from psychology: ESM.
