Using Physical Avatars to Present Availability James Fogarty HCI Process and Theory Fall 2001
Say we have it all… • We can sense, model, and react • Scott is euphoric • His phone doesn’t annoy him • His email doesn’t annoy him • His PDA doesn’t annoy him • What if I need to annoy him?
…there are a bunch of questions… Let people use the availability info…
Maybe the answers are around… • Bob knows awareness applications • Jodi and Pamela know what it will take to get this actually sitting on my desk • Chris and Scott know how to build it
Scope of the project… • We don’t have it all, so we can’t do this • As a design exercise, could motivate • Important to look for existing knowledge
