Abstract

We report on a pilot study that is part of an ongoing project which investigates social awareness support for project groups made of students who may choose to work at the university, at home or at part-time job offices. The study involved the design and early evaluation of a prototype which augments a cooperative application with various sensorial and computational cues about co-worker presence. The sensing devices were installed and annotated by the users themselves. Based on this experience and inspired by "technomethodology", we suggest implications for design of awareness support and context-enabled devices.
