Mobiphos: a collocated-synchronous mobile photo sharing application

ABSTRACT

People use photographs for numerous reasons with one of the most common uses of both analog and digital photographs is as an artifact to share and discuss with others. While the practice of photo sharing has been thoroughly examined in the HCI community, there is currently very little research on easily capturing and sharing content within groups of collocated mobile users. In this paper we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of a mobile photo sharing application, Mobiphos, that gives a group of collocated users the ability to capture and simultaneously share photos in real-time with each other.
