Abstract

We introduce the Hocman prototype, supporting mobile group collaboration among motorcyclists. The design is based on findings from a field study. The motorcyclists are a group with a strong social commitment, however their mobile practice creates collaborative problems. They deal with it by using a website on the Internet, but collaborative issues still remains. For this purpose we have developed a prototype, based on web technology. The prototype is built for handheld computers and wireless communication, allowing the users to share rich content when being in the vicinity of each other.
