Locating Collaboration

CatchBob! is an experimental platform in the form of a mobile game for running psychological experiments. Running on a mobile device (iPAQ, TabletPc), it's a collaborative hunt in which groups of three persons have to find and circle a virtual object on our campus. CatchBob! will test how a location awareness tool modifies group interactions and communications, the way they perform a joint task as well as how they rely on this spatial information to coordinate. Series of experiments will be run to determine how location awareness impacts group collaboration. Read "Impacts of Location-Awareness on Group Collaboration" [PDF] position paper.
