Abstract

When faced with many documents, people often use systems that characterize documents as read or unread. Most email and document management systems treat this distinction as a binary - either a document has been read, or not. This poster explores designs that expand this binary distinction into a continuum of "readness," based on the user's personal history and collaborative context. The work focuses on late-breaking design concepts.
