Pervasive awareness

Published: 02 September 2008 Publication History

Abstract

We are interested in systems that support awareness between individuals, by exchanging information that is automatically captured and presenting it to members of their social network. Here we demonstrate a principle for the operation of these systems which we describe as pervasive awareness: awareness information is aggregated opportunistically as mobile devices carrying some information migrate across space and cluster dynamically. We present a minimal demonstration of the principle where qualitative location information is used to select information offered by context capture devices (for the demonstration these are cameras).
