Oct 27 Meeting

On October 27 there will be a meeting during which we will present our current status (progress to date) and invite input and feedback from a larger group.

For more information about the meeting, visit this page.

Purposes
We seek to:

- document our status

- receive links to projects that might provide valuable background for us

- get feedback from others who may be thinking or have thought (or not) about the problem

- invite inputs for project success (to be defined)

Agenda
1. Introduction (10 min)

Christine set the context for this activity. We are in the future when there are infinite objects and targets with inumberable pieces of digital information associated with them. The need for there to always be a "call-to-action" in order to communicate to the potential user that there is an experience available hampers adoption. There cannot be stickers everywhere on everything.

The need for interfaces that will permit maximum reach by publishers and access by users, based on context and preferences is clear. Here are the slides Christine used.

2. Use Cases/Scenarios (10 min)

Josh presented the use cases and compared with present/future state. Here are the slides Josh used.

3. What we would like to achieve and how we plan to work (5 min)

Steve presented how we envisage success in a working prototype/running code project to test possible architectures. Here are the slides Steve used.

4. We concluded with some open questions (30 min)

5. Call to action (see below)

Open Questions
These are the questions we'd like people to respond to:

1. What do you consider relevant for user context definition? What are the most important attributes of context?

from Christian Glahn to Everyone: there are a few more contexts ... see zimmermann, specht & lorenz (2005)

2. Would you be interested (as a user) in being intentional (as opposed to automatic and accidental) with what you share for Discovery? What sort of information would you communicate to a content broker about yourself that could be in addition to the readings from your sensors?

tracking of use is a potential obstacle. Prevents people (publishers) from knowing the user's profile.

3. Do you have any knowledge of experiences that are available in more than one media type (e.g., learning styles, media accessibility)?

4. Do you have AR-ready content and/or experiences that you would like to contribute to the project for concrete testing?

Call to Action
We will let people know that they can choose their level of engagement and contribution:

1. Get more background/learn more and then just "listen" (lurk) by visiting the project web page on AR Community portal

2. Join and lurk on the archived mailing list to get messages about our upcoming meetings and other nuggets.

3. Attend our weekly meetings on Mondays at 11 AM Eastern via GoToMeeting

4. Participate in the Discovery project/experiment
