While we perform our daily tasks we reinterpret space and personalize it, according to tactics which reveal significant information about ourselves.We are now able to fill and stratify space/time with digital information layers, completely wrapping cities in a membrane of information and of opportunities for interaction and communication.Mobile devices, smartphones, wearables, digital tags, near field communication devices, location based services and mixed/augmented reality have turned the world into an essentially read/write, ubiquitous publishing surface.The usage of mobile devices and ubiquitous technologies alters the understanding of place.The scenario described in this paper sees urban spaces progressively filling with multiple layers of realtime, ubiquitous, digital information, creating usage cases in which urban narratives are read in different ways, highlighting how cities express points of view on the environment, culture, economy, transports, energy and politics.The research presented in this paper analyses multiple opportunities to capture, understand and visualize the real-time digital lives of cities, from a variety of points of view and objectives, dedicated to the needs of administrations, citizens and organizations, and to the possibility to transform these representations into a form of disseminated, ubiquitous, interconnective intelligence.

“…Promoters of Value Sensitive Design (VSD) take a slightly different view of accounting for societal concerns. An outgrowth of earlier examinations of bias in computer systems (Friedman & Nissenbaum, 1993, 1995, 1996, VSD focuses on inclusion of human values in design processes, conceptual, empirical, and technical inquiries (Davis et al, 2006). VSD efforts include investigations of the impact of browser interface design on the ability to make informed decisions (Millett, Friedman, & Felten, 2001), examination of user understanding of Web security concerns (Friedman, Hurley, Howe, Felten, & Nissenbaum, 2002), the design of urban simulation (Davis et al, 2006), open-source software licenses that respect privacy concerns (Friedman, Smith, Kahn, Consolvo, & Selawski, 2006), and social games for teaching programming to girls in middle schools (Flanagan, Howe, & Nissenbaum, 2005).…”

“…Process visualizations (Matkovic, Hauser, Sainitzer, & Groller, 2002) could support detailed analysis of energy usage profiles, with detailed monitoring of energy use changes over time providing insight into the effects of specific conservation measures. Discussion and support groups (Maloney-Krichmar & Preece, 2005), tools for community process deliberation (Davis et al, 2006), and social networks (Mankoff, Matthews, Fussell, & Johnson, 2007) could help participants share ideas for conservation and to discuss and debate larger changes in community-wide energy practices.…”

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is much broader than the study of interface design and input devices. It includes considerations of the social, political, ethical, and societal implications of computer systems. Concerns such as privacy, accessibility, universal design, and voting usability have led to active HCI research. Our examination of HCI responses to these and other issues informs a model of social engagement based on societal influences that motivate various responses from the HCI community. This model provides suggestions for engagement with issues that are likely to grow in importance over the next several years. By focusing on these issues, HCI researchers may make still greater contributions toward addressing societal concerns.

“…Originally developed in human-computer interaction [14] and since extended to ubiquitous computing [16], humanrobotic interaction [22], simulation [8], and computer-supported cooperative work [27], Value Sensitive Design (VSD) is an established approach for addressing human values throughout a technical design and implementation process. Early work in VSD engaged usable security of web browsers [28], invoking the design principle of "informing through design" [15].…”

An increasing number of high-tech devices, such as driver monitoring systems and Internet usage monitoring tools, are advertised as useful or even necessary for good parenting of teens. Simultaneously, there is a growing market for mobile "personal safety" devices. As these trends merge, there will be significant implications for parent-teen relationships, affecting domains such as privacy, trust, and maturation. Not only the teen and his or her parents are affected; other important stakeholders include the teen's friends who may be unwittingly monitored. This problem space, with less clearcut assets, risks, and affected parties, thus lies well outside of more typical computer security applications.To help understand this problem domain and what, if anything, should be built, we turn to the theory and methods of Value Sensitive Design, a systematic approach to designing for human values in technology. We first develop value scenarios that highlight potential issues, benefits, harms, and challenges. We then conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 participants (9 teens and their parents). Results show significant differences with respect to information about: 1) internal state (e.g., mood) versus external environment (e.g., location) state; 2) situation (e.g., emergency vs. non-emergency); and 3) awareness (e.g., notification vs. non-notification). The value scenario and interview results positioned us to identify key technical challenges -such as strongly protecting the privacy of a teen's contextual information during ordinary situations but immediately exposing that information to others as appropriate in an emergencyand corresponding architectural levers for these technologies.In addition to laying a foundation for future work in this area, this research serves as a prototypical example of using Value Sensitive Design to explicate the underlying human values in complex security domains.
