Introduction To support the design and evaluation of human centered ubiquitous technologies, we must explore the relationship between in situ capture and annotation to ex situ reflection, elaboration and exchange. In this document, I describe prior work that indicates why that relationship is important and provide research questions arising from this relationship. I then propose a project, Editorial, to explore these questions.

In this paper, we describe a system used to link online content to physical objects implemented with commercially available pocket computers using integrated bar code scanners, wireless networks, and web services. We discuss our design goals and technical architecture and describe applications that have been constructed on this architecture. We describe the role of the related web site to create communities around scans collected by the handhelds.

Awareness of others’ interests can lead to fruitful collaborations, friendships and positive social change. Interviews of groups involved in both research and corporate work revealed a lack of awareness of shared interests among workers sharing an organizational affiliation and collocated in the same building or complex but still physically separated (e.g., by walls or floors). Our study showed that loosely coupled, co-located groups were less likely to discover shared interests in the way that many tightly collocated groups do, such as by overhearing conversations or noticing paraphernalia. Based on these findings we iteratively developed techniques to capture and display shared interests. Our platform includes an e-mail sensor to discover personal interests, a search algorithm to determine shared interests, a public peripheral display and lightweight location-tracking system to convey those interests.

Three tools for acquiring data about people, their behavior, and their use of technology in natural settings are described: (1) a context-aware experience sampling tool, (2) a ubiquitous sensing system that detects environmental changes, and (3) an image-based experience sampling system. We discuss how these tools provide researchers with a flexible toolkit for collecting data on activity in homes and workplaces, particularly when used in combination. We outline several ongoing studies to illustrate the versatility of these tools. Two of the tools are currently available to other researchers to use.
