The Ubiquitous Camera: An In-Depth Study of Camera Phone Use Approach  34 subjects, 303 photos and 17 videos 9 youths and 10 adults UK 4 youths and 11 adults US  51% people, 32% specific thing 51% 32%

The Ubiquitous Camera: An In-Depth Study of Camera Phone Use Approach  Interviews 2 interviews, separated by 2-5 weeks Random images  What image showed, where it was kept, captured or received  Intention for capturing  Received, who sent the image, how it was sent  Details of any uses

The Ubiquitous Camera: An In-Depth Study of Camera Phone Use Results  The hypotheses itself  Little evidence of a strong “capture and send” Lack of “critical mass”  The majority of image-sharing took place face to face  Communication with images When and what Aid in achieving a task  Strong attachment

The Ubiquitous Camera: An In-Depth Study of Camera Phone Use Results  Implications Easier showing in the moment Easier giving in the moment Better ability to connect in the moment Better tools for mementos and records Better tools for deleting and archiving

Location and Photos – A Match Made in Heaven… or Hell? Problems  How will people use location information in digital photography?  Will people be concerned about privacy?  … Goals  “Our goal is to study its adoption and the social exchange patterns that develop along the way, focusing on the research questions listed above.”

Location and Photos – A Match Made in Heaven… or Hell? Hypotheses  “…the location and time data, can aid the access to (and usage of) media in various levels.”

Location and Photos – A Match Made in Heaven… or Hell? Hypotheses  Location and time data can be used to form meaningful semantic sets in place and time Borrow tags from other photos taken at the same location
