We have conducted a video study of households in Scotland with cohabiting students and young professionals. In this paper we unpack five examples of how mobile devices are used by people watching television. In the examples we explore how screens are used together a) in a physical ecology, b) in an embodied way, c) in an orderly way, and d) with respect to others. We point out that mobile devices are routinely used to access media that is unconnected and unrelated to media on television, for example for sending and receiving messages, browsing social media, and browsing websites. We suggest that mobile devices are not used to directly enhance television programmes, but to enhance leisure time. We suggest that it is important, when considering mobile devices as second screens, not just to treat these as a design topic, but to pay attention to how they are interactionally integrated into the living room.

“…Additionally, technologies that fail to support mixed-ability, collaborative use can create missed opportunities for shared experiences and spontaneous acts of kindness, both of which are important intimacy-building activities [12]. Like Branham et al [4], we found that even collocated partners need help reconnecting.…”

“…Although this area of study has predominately sought to create connections between remote households [12,20], some recent work has considered how collocated family members and intimate partners communicate and connect in the domestic space [4,36]. This line of research increasingly considers families and relationships that have been traditionally marginalized or overlooked [17,19].…”

In recent decades, great technological strides have been made toward enabling people who are blind to live independent, successful lives. However, there has been relatively little progress towards understanding the social, collaborative needs of this population, particularly in the domestic setting. We conducted semi-structured interviews in the homes of 10 pairs of close companions in which one partner was blind and one was not. We found that partners engaged in collaborative accessibility by taking active roles in co-creating an accessible environment. Due to their different visual abilities, however, partners sometimes encountered difficulties managing divergent needs and engaging in shared experiences. We describe outstanding challenges to creating accessible shared home spaces and outline new research and technology opportunities for supporting collaborative accessibility in the home.

“…The design space for remote intimate couples has largely been populated with technologies that support and mediate intimacy via abstracted presence [18,19]. Gaver categorizes these technologies into two groups, those which mediate intimate behaviors and those which provoke intimate reactions [3].…”

Emerging field of intimate computing relates to the technologies that aim to mediate affective communication across distance. Conventional telecommunication media are originally designed for collaborations and task oriented goals with the poor support of intimate experiences. Contemporary lifestyle changes leaded to design and adoption of technologies in support of long distance relationships. The present work is a study of existing prototypical systems and related conceptual studies in this realm of study. Their design perspective, mechanism and human factors are described. Challenges coupled to this domain are studied and future research directions are proposed.
