Mirrors of the World – Supporting Situational Awareness with Computer Screens
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper we develop a notion of support for social and situational awareness. Our initial ideas are based on the metaphor of using a mirror to see what you are not looking at. We provide two studies that, for different contexts, apply the metaphor to develop design ideas that fit the context of use.

Excessive use of mobile telephony and Internet has become a public health problem in many developed countries. In solving this problem have been strongly involved psychologists and psychiatrists. Worldwide, the research...
Visio-Haptic Simulator for Static and Kinetic Friction
3D simulations augment the presentation of abstract concepts by enhancing our understanding. However, most simulations only make use of two of our five senses: sight and hearing. If we employ additional sensory communica...
