TLDR
This work is interested in re-designing a Smartphone's contact book to provide cues of the current situations of others, and argues how the design choices support mobile communication decisions and group coordinations by promoting awareness.Abstract:
Acontextuality of the mobile phone often leads to a caller's uncertainty over a callee's current state, which in turn often hampers mobile collaboration. We are interested in re-designing a Smartphone's contact book to provide cues of the current situations of others. ContextContacts presents several meaningful, automatically communicated situation cues of trusted others. Its interaction design follows social psychological findings on how people make social attributions based on impoverished cues, on how self-disclosure of cues is progressively and interactionally managed, and on how mobility affects interaction through cues. We argue how our design choices support mobile communication decisions and group coordinations by promoting awareness. As a result, the design is very minimal and integrated, in an "unremarkable" manner, to previously learned usage patterns with the phone. First laboratory and field evaluations indicate important boundary conditions for and promising avenues toward more useful and enjoyable mobile awareness applications.read more

Attention from Afar: Simulating the Gazes of Remote Participants in Hybrid Meetings
TL;DR: A working prototype that enabled remote participants in a collocated meeting to look around the local meeting space, and that showed local participants where the remote participants' "simulated gazes" (that is, their virtual cameras) were directed is designed.

Designing mobile awareness cues
TL;DR: The need to take into account what is known about humans' interpretational capabilities is suggested, and novel design opportunities that lie in the integration of cues with functionality and content on the mobile phone are pointed out.

iSocialize: investigating awareness cues for a mobile social awareness application
TL;DR: This work designed a prototype called iSocialize to explore the identified awareness cues of social awareness in families and identified five issues including that imprecise awareness cues are requested to ensure privacy issues and that users found it difficult to maintain a continuously peripheral awareness of their contacts.

The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life
TL;DR: For instance, in the case of an individual in the presence of others, it can be seen as a form of involuntary expressive behavior as discussed by the authors, where the individual will have to act so that he intentionally or unintentionally expresses himself, and the others will in turn have to be impressed in some way by him.

Awareness and coordination in shared workspaces

TL;DR: A study of shared editor use is discussed which suggests that awareness information provided and exploited passively through the shared workspace, allows users to move smoothly between close and loose collaboration, and to assign and coordinate work dynamically.

What we talk about when we talk about context
TL;DR: This paper suggests that the representational stance implied by conventional interpretations of “context” misinterprets the role of context in everyday human activity, and proposes an alternative model that suggests different directions for design.
