Designing with context

By using context info, it should be possible to construct products that are easier.

Context is in reality much more complex than what sensors could detect and compute.

Dorish(2004) proposes that context is not something absolute..

A good strategy can be to try to leave the interpretation of context open to the user
specially this is suitable for gaming and entertainment.

Extending creativity using sensors

i) Sonic City

ii)The Context Camera

iii)Collaborative games

iv)Push!Music

*LOCATION
Computer games is still mostly a single-person experience
–killing each other without seeing each other while you are sitting next to each other
…far

i)Pirates
at siggraph
find islands overlayed onto real world
fight with other players through the GUI
“audience” become involved with…….give hints to players,,

Too much interaction happeded on the screen rather than in real world

ENvironment that react to the players(a volcano that erupts?)
Sensing person is still technical problem even on iPhone
Finding two people are co-locating is still hardest part of implentation

ii)Collaborarive games
in Future app lab
local cooperation
… rally game.  one:driver another:navigator

Using location
>PacMan Must Die
you are chased by Pacman
three maps for three users… while you can watch one of three maps, you can move to other user’s map which only appears on other’s screen.. you really have to cooperate.
…Shared screen

location was incorporated in the experience of the game.

Co-location
>Push!Music
Media Agents concept: Distribited content shareing system
Music files are autonomous agent jump from device to device to find better environment to it.
>>Collaboratively
>>Secretly
Send music to someone without their knowledge
>>Automatically
By the agent which is the music file itself with agent function want to find better environment.
