Suburban nostalgia : the community building potential of urban screens
No full textUrbanely nomadic residents are increasingly forgoing the potential of locale based serendipitous encounters in favour of digitally mediated interactions within their walled garden of existing social networks. This limits a sense of community in urban neighbourhoods to members of one’s social network, but what of interactions with those outside of these networks, such as inhabitants of residential spaces? We report on our pilot study of open ended interviews which investigates the different user archetypes whose needs we consider when designing social technology for urban spaces. We propose a design to extend the sense of community in urban neighbourhoods beyond pure network sociality. Through a lens of ‘suburban nostalgia’ we envision how neighbourhood interactions might be retrofitted in new ways through civic engagement in the enhancement of environments

Giving Serendipity a Nudge by Sharing Everyday Mobile Content
No full textThis paper examines the capturing and sharing of digital images in everyday life. We find that this practice not only gives serendipity a nudge by allowing groups to come together more easily, it provides contextual information that can reduce gratuitous contact. In order to demonstrate this we will reference the Swarm phone prototype and describe how the pre-defined, color coded avatars in the latest version are being given greater context and personalization through the use of everyday digital images
Playing urban sustainability : the ecology of a\ud simulation game
No full textTo date, methodologies used in the field of game studies are\ud
prolific while indistinct due to the multifaceted nature of the field. In particular, games that shape our understandings of political, social or cultural environments add a new dimension to the discussion and theorization of games and learning. As gameplay is increasingly understood as situated in cultural contexts and practices, this paper argues for a comprehensive approach to game studies by positioning games in a wider ecology of learning. The strength of an ecology approach is that it identifies the relations and heterogeneous agents that contribute to developing, shaping, and performing the learning\ud
opportunities of a game. This paper suggests a methodological approach of qualitative ethnographic participant observation.\ud
Adopting a case study approach as an appropriate research\ud
strategy, this ethnography specifically examines and\ud
participates in the simulation game SCAPE (Sustainability,\ud
Community And Planning Education), an urban sustainability\ud

Conveying identity with mobile content
No full textA series of mobile phone prototypes called The Swarm have been developed in response to the user needs identified in a three-year empirical study of young people’s use of mobile phones. The prototypes take cues from user led innovation and provide multiple avatars that allow individuals to define and manage their own virtual identity. This paper briefly maps the evolution of the prototypes and then describes how the pre-defined, color coded avatars in the latest version are being given greater context and personalization through the use of digital images. This not only gives ‘serendipity a nudge’ by allowing groups to come together more easily, it provides contextual information that can reduce gratuitous contact
