Description
Although camera phones are a relatively new phenomenon, they have changed one field of ubiquitous computing, mobile telephony significantly over the last five years. This talk looks at current practices, i.e. what do people do with camera phones: what kinds of pictures they take, messages they send, and how they interact with their friends and acquaintances through these devices. What kinds of design opportunities do these practices open?
