“…Previous research in HCI has attempted to resolve these problems through lightweight information-sharing systems that enhance coworkers' awareness of mutual availability. Examples include networked desktop displays that enable the sharing of drawings between coworkers [8] or systems which allow people to signal their availability by publicly sharing information about their daily schedule [17]. However, one drawback of these systems is that they demand effort from the user to provide information, which may detract from time spent on meaningful work activities.…”

Maintaining awareness of the presence of colleagues can be difficult when collaboration is distributed across separate offices. In this paper we present CoasterMe, a situated desktop widget that leverages the natural behaviour of drinking to support informal awareness of a colleague's availability in the workplace. A pilot field trial showed that CoasterMe helped coworkers to build in-the-moment awareness of availability and supported an improved understanding of work routines, enhancing social coordination and preventing wasted effort. CoasterMe also created a sense of co-presence and connectedness by making users feel as if they are sharing a drink over distance.
