About
Social media spaces are about the gathering of people to consume and to create media. In this talk I will chart some examples of such spaces from my own research.
We shall start with an overview of three Inhabited TV experiments that used online virtual worlds to create national TV content. We’ll then look at physical space, how the position of technology in our homes affects its use, and how our proximity to others changes the way we relate to technology. I’ll show how such a realization may influence design.
We’ll end by looking at how broadcast technologies may be used to inject media to people’s mobile devices at the time people want it.
