Using whole body interaction to provoke reflection on self-awareness of social presence in public spaces
Sherif Mekky, Youran You, Mads Sørensen · 2014
This paper describes a design concept and prototype in which people who are absorbed and immersed in using their smart handheld devices in public spaces will be pixelated and greyed out as to suggest that they are "disconnected" from the offline, real world. The concept and implementation is still experimental but the initial prototype and preliminary results indicate that it is feasible and can be realized in an interesting, fun way.
