Coordinate Displays in the Home
Andy Crabtree, Terry Hemmings, Tom A. Rodden · 2002
This position paper reports existing non-electronic ‘displays ’ implicated in mail use in the home environment and the role such displays play in social coordination and collaboration. We place the word display in scare quotes to draw attention to the act of displaying, which our ethnographic studies of mail use show to be distributed across a variety of locations and mundane technologies situated around the home. The act of displaying highlights the need for design to consider the development of networks of ecologically distributed displays in the home environment and elsewhere.
