Mobile media sharing in large-scale events: beyond MMS (original) (raw)

This paper explores the dynamics of mobile media sharing in large-scale events, focusing on the collective spectator experience beyond traditional messaging. Through field studies and the development of the mGroup application, the authors highlight how spectators engage in co-production and sharing of multimedia content in real-time, enhancing their event experiences. The findings underline the importance of situational awareness and social connectivity facilitated by mobile technology, while identifying challenges around interaction design and technical limitations.
