Managing Visibility in Ubiquitous Multimedia Communication Environments

摘要: Users of Ubiquitous Multimedia Communications Environments (UMCE), such as media spaces, have to manage a trade-off between gaining some awareness colleagues’ ongoing activities and the risk posed their own personal privacy by being ‘on permanent display’. UMCEs involve pervasive, continuous heterogeneous connections people spaces. In order learn more about mechanisms underlying this trade-off, we studied UMCE in form minimal space over period three months. We interpreted our results with reference social identity theory, which casts self-identity set affiliations externally visible association them. users themselves would define, configure occupy places, or locales, within spaces way achieving reliable low-cognitive-effort management self-presentation. It may be that effective interpersonal inter-group kind require attention intra-space heterogeneity well inter-space technological terms. way, it possible avoid attentional demands adjusting visibility through manipulations sensor position continually fiddling filters. Instead, one capitalise on familiar regime managing self-presentation creating then moving into out each associated particular identities audiences.
