HINTeractions: facilitating informal knowledge exchange in physical and social space

Published: 16 February 2009 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel way to harness the informal knowledge that emerges from the actions of people in space. We present the development of an ambient intelligence system that gathers and displays information about people's interactions with public places. The system is designed as a flexible extension to urban furniture that can be deployed in diverse social settings. Data is collected from the interaction of individuals and groups with the system, and is then presented back to the users. To better explain this process, we introduce the term HINT eractions. The term alludes to the knowledge that emerges as we interact with the world around us.
