Aims and Scope
This OZCHI 2008 workshop will discuss the ways that public,
situated displays can support communities. Our primary aim is to explore the potential for situated displays to support
communities of all kinds by bringing together many individual community display projects, with the added benefit of
increasing awareness and communication between researchers involved in this field. We hope to share experiences of working
with communities and the challenges this can involve and explore the different approaches, techniques and technologies
used by the workshop participants.
In doing this, we aim to learn which of those have proved successful, which have
not been so successful, and facilitate comparison of the various approaches and the contrasting communities in which they
were based. It is our hope that the workshop will encourage collaboration between disparate research groups, and if suitable
the outcomes of the event may be considered for publication in an appropriate venue.
The day will comprise
conference-style paper presentations, discussion of emerging themes and issues from the presentations, and a group
design exercise based around a scenario for a new community display.
We welcome all contributions related
to the use of public situated displays in supporting communities. Relevant areas for discussion include, but are
not limited to, the following:
- Exploration of different settings and deployment environments
- Techniques for gathering requirements and information for design
- Display designs and design techniques
- Discussion of key deployment challenges
- Issues arising from working with communities
- Evaluation of community displays and different interaction techniques
- Issues arising from display content and repurposing of content
- Access control and possible solutions and approaches
- Persuasiveness and community-building effects
- Sustainability and evolution of solutions
- Managing multiple displays
- Enticing and encouraging users, incentives to contribute
- Role of gatekeepers and local champions
- Spaces and places
