Peek-A-Boo: the design of a mobile family media space

Published: 26 September 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Family members often want to share experiences and events in their lives even when they cannot be in the same location at the same time. In many cases, at least one family member is mobile. Video conferencing systems permit sharing experiences and everyday events; however, it is often not possible to use them while mobile. To explore this design space, we prototyped a mobile media space called Peek-A-Boo that provides two-way live video sharing between a mobile phone and a digital frame in the home. Family members can use the media space to gather availability awareness and also share episodes of everyday life by augmenting voice calls with shared video. These features can help family members feel more connected when separated by distance through sharing experiences in the moment.
