Abstract | In this work we discuss Kafebook, a system combining popular social networking platforms
with activity input from the physical domain inside public spaces. The system is envisioned as
a means for users to augment and communicate their activities to other people in their physical
proximity through a public display, while catering for anonymity issues. We developed a
client for Android smartphones that is used as the user interface and the enabling platform,
with which users connect to the system infrastructure and interact with it. Apart from
providing access to input from social networking sites, the Android client allows for chat
between the users and music selection polls. Wireless networking is based on Bluetooth, a
widespread technology in smartphones, which enables a more pervasive mode of operation,
while utilizing it also as a proximity sensor. We deployed our system in a two-day public
event as part of an undergraduate theses showcase, receiving positive feedback from visitors. |
