“…wireless network coverage) and to incorporate them into game play, while Yoshi [7] exploits similar mappings between physical and virtual, but on an urban scale. Reminiscent of studies of the urban soundscape [20], projects such as Sonic City [21] or tuna [5] explore the ways in which movement through space can create personal or collective audio experiences, giving a new (aural) form to movement. PDPal (www.pdpal.com), a project by Scott Patterson, Marina Zurkow, Julian Bleecker, and Adam Chapman, and originally co-commissioned by the Walker Art Center and the University of Minnesota Design Institute, encourages people to create and browse emotional maps of urban spaces, combining "objective" cartographic forms with more personal and intimate interpretations of the lived city.…”

“…For instance, undersound [5] goes beyond instrumental accounts of urban space to create an experience designed to reveal both the texture of urban life (as reflected by the links between urban space and musical genres) and the patterns of movement that characterize city living. Using the London Underground as an example, undersound creates an infrastructure in which music moves around the city through the public transportation system.…”

Abstract. The rise of wireless networks and portable computing devices has been accompanied by an increasing interest in technology and mobility, and in the urban environment as a site of interaction. However, most investigations have taken a relatively narrow view of urban mobility. In consequence, design practice runs the risk of privileging particular viewpoints, forms of mobility, and social groups. We are interested in a view of mobility that reaches beyond traditional assumptions about the who, when, why, and what of mobility. Based on analytic perspectives from the social sciences and on empirical fieldwork in a range of settings, we outline an alternative view of technology and mobility with both analytic and design implications.

“…In Social Serendipity [5], users carry a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone that detects nearby users and triggers spontaneous face-to-face interaction with those who have similar user profiles. Two systems, tunA [2] and SoundPryer [16], look at how the usually private listening of a mobile music device can be turned into a social experience by synchronizing the listening to music between nearby devices. Push!Music [9] and Push!Photo [23] are two mobile music and photo sharing systems, where users automatically receive songs/photos that are recommended by nearby players.…”

“…Mobile peer-to-peer communication, however, is making radical changes to the whole concept of peer-to-peer [2]. In a mobile peer-to-peer networking environment, communications among mobile users and the exchange of digital resources are strictly linked to their physical proximity, though the networking could allow in theory the creation of global networks without the aid of any infrastructure and central server.…”

“…In a mobile peer-to-peer networking environment, communications among mobile users and the exchange of digital resources are strictly linked to their physical proximity, though the networking could allow in theory the creation of global networks without the aid of any infrastructure and central server. This aspect may bring up a distinct way of information sharing and social interaction among mobile users and thus becomes a new paradigm in the field of communication [2][9] [20].…”

Recent advances of mobile devices and RFcommunication technology have made it possible to form peerto-peer connections in mobile settings. Mobile peer-to-peer communication is a radical change to the traditional (wired) peer-to-peer computation. In this research, we build a system to facilitate information sharing and social interaction among users in a mobile peer-to-peer environment. This system enables users to express their comments and opinions on attractions (or points of interest) in a certain area. Comments given by one user are made available to another when they get close. Opinions are presented in aggregated form, using collaborative filtering algorithms. A user study is then conducted, and the results reveal that, by using the proposed system, users can receive useful travel information. Also, the conduct of sharing information triggers various types of social interactions among mobile users.

Gifts from friends and strangers: A study of mobile music sharing

Mobile technology has turned the traditionally collective activity of enjoying music into an often private one. New technologies such as wireless ad hoc networks have the potential to re-connect listeners who are now separated by headphones. We report on a field study of Push!Music, a novel mobile music sharing system. Push!Music allows both manual and automatic sharing of music between users through ad hoc wireless networking, and also provides a social awareness of other users nearby. The system was used by 13 subjects for three weeks. In post-study interviews, we identified four categories of results: social awareness, sharing music with friends, sharing music with strangers, and sharing automatically. Based on this, we present implications for design that can be applied not only to mobile music sharing systems, but to mobile media sharing in general: Allow division into active and passive use; enhance the awareness of who, where and when; support reciprocity; and finally, support identity and impression management.
