Digital aura
David K. McGookin · 2014
We consider the concept of a Digital Aura -- an augmented reality (AR) visualisation, derived from existing social and digital media that represents an aspect of a person's digital self to people he or she meets in the physical environment. We outline the potential and risks for such technology in face-to-face interaction, before discussing the results of interview studies that revealed what media users were open to sharing, with whom, and how a Digital Aura should be visualised. We outline our future work to investigate the impact of Digital Auras on face-to-face interaction.
