Abstract

HCI had moved from considering how individuals interact with computers to thinking about how groups collaborate using technology. While there has been research focused on large-scale on-line communities, little attention has been paid to large groups of collocated assemblies, namely crowds. The evidence from social psychology and sociology suggest that the social dynamics and behaviours of crowds are distinct from those of smaller group formations. In this workshop we want to think about new opportunities for designing crowd-centric technologies and explore the factors that will shape interaction design for large scale crowd computing. The workshop will explore themes related to crowd-centric computing through hands-on crowd-based exercises, position papers and discussion.
