Technologies for Enhancing Collocated Social Interaction: Review of Design Solutions and Approaches

摘要: Collocated interaction has received growing interest in both academic research and the design of information communication technological applications. An emergent topic within this area relates to enhancement social interaction. Various envisioned systems aim beyond simply enabling interaction, actively enhance—i.e., improve quality or extent of—social between collocated people. However, there is little understanding optimal solutions roles technology considering goal. This literature review outlines landscape explorations topic. We contribute an in-depth study 92 publications that present relevant prototypes, analyzing their focus areas, objectives, evaluation approaches. To with a new theoretical perspective, we identify various for enhancement, representing three abstract categories: facilitating, inviting encouraging. helps researchers describe, analyze, position prior gaps scientific knowledge.
