Here, we are specifically considering situations in which drivers wish to have adequate knowledge about the state of upcoming stretches of a road before getting there. As it stands now,

Stadiums, music and performance festivals, and urban centres are just some of the spaces in which mobile phones, digital photography, large screens and other projections, and infrastructures such as RFID, are deployed by and for large congregating masses of people. The crowd formations found within these settings pose exciting new ...

This open-ended work is often marked by uncertainty and interpretive flexibility in terms of what the product is and should be. At the same time, most current video production tools are designed for single users. There is a growing interest, both in industry and academia, to design features that support key collaborative processes in editing, such as commenting on videos. We add to current research by unpacking specific forms of collaboration, in particular the social mechanisms and strategies employed to reduce interpretive flexibility and uncertainty in achieving agreements between editors and other collaborators. The findings contribute to the emerging design interest by identifying general design paths for how to support collaboration in video editing through scaffolding, iconic referencing, and suggestive editing.

We report from ethnographic fieldwork among mobile, distributed airport ground personnel. By examining the ways in which they use the ‘old’ technology, i.e. VHF radio, we identify a set of important aspects of work carried out through radio talk. These are: repairing misunderstandings, discussing the task-at-hand, and negotiating next actions. The new system fails to support this negotiation work, and is hardly ever used by the ground personnel. The distributed workers in the field make their own decisions and negotiate coordination with the tower based on local information. In this respect, current work practice is already decentralized to a certain extent. The problem with the new system, we argue, is the idea to decentralize the organization by providing distributed workers with more information, whereas the current institutional arrangement for coordination is built upon highly formal and hierarchical ideas. When redesigning the system it is necessary to take into account the ways in which radio talk is used to carry out the everyday work among ground personnel.

Recently spectating has also become a topic of interest to CHI, particularly the design of technology for both performers and audiences. In this paper we describe an in-depth study of spectating, drawn from fieldwork of outdoor car rallies in the UK and Sweden. We describe three findings with

The games include support for interaction other players as well as with location. The advances in games research is of benefit for specific mobile work where a vast site is

They use the meetings either to display their identity or to look at others. The bikers' opportunities to make such meetings possible and to make full use of them are constrained by high mobility. Therefore, we have invented the Hocman, which possesses

Two issues make the social interaction meagre. First, when driving, high speed makes these encounters brief. Second, driving often involves being enclosed by a hull of a vehicle. Consequently, this interaction and, in the end, also driving, occasionally becomes tedious. We suggest a design rationale for

It is designed to allow messaging while driving, for instance, sending notes to surrounding drivers to tell them about hazards. The user annotates the road with audio recordings, typically voice memos. This annotation is location-based, which means that messages are automatically coupled to the location

But the requirements for mobile applications will be very different from the stationary (primarily desktop- based) setting that has until recently been the dominating one in Human Computer Interaction. We identify a number of unique properties

The design is based on findings from an ethnographic field study. Motorcyclists are a community with a strong social commitment. They use their bikes together, which allows for visual interaction. However, their extreme mobility creates problems in coming together. Recently the group studied have started to use a

We re- port on ethnographic fieldwork about road inspection, i.e. management of large trunk roads. Road inspectors travel to identify defects and disturbances and then handle the problems or delegate the work. The current information system (ProData) allows position-based reporting with the principal purpose of

The increase is a concern for the state, which traditionally has taken an active role for traffic safety. But it is also a concern for the driver themselves both in terms of a demand for safety as well as support for convenient phone conversations. In the

The system enables sharing of multimedia content, such as HTML documents, audio clips and images over ad-hoc networks. The design derives from requirements found in an ethnographic fieldwork on motorcy- clists. Our understanding of speed, the vast setting and collaborative activities contribute to the design

Is the term still useful to understand and design for interaction with computers, or has the concept of mobility run dry and void of meaning?

In this paper, we present two explorative studies to understand the experiences and expectations of dog owners for communication technology to support their interaction with dogs. These studies look at two different

We present an ethnographic study revealing how hunters fine-tune their experience through temporal and spatial organization. The hunt is organized in a way that allows the hunters to balance between forms of collaboration ranging from solitude to face-to-face interaction, as well

However, there are problems turning technical options into meaningful applications. This paper presents a method where observation of daily practices to identify users' demands to inform ITS-design. The particular case is bus driving and public transport management, seen from the bus-drivers' perspective. We focus on the drivers' communication and evaluate present technical support for such interaction. Then, a new system service is outlined to pro- vide a flexible and smooth support for speech communication.
