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.
