BeschreibungAbstract:
In our digitized everyday lives, are bulletin boards, free local newspapers and advertising pillars still suitable for sharing things and encountering people? In this Master’s thesis, new ways of connecting with people are researched by combining location-aware smartphones with playful experiences. The goal is to use mobile social media in order to stimulate the exchange of skills and goods and foster face-to-face communication within local communities. In an iterative process of field research at the community place “Playground” and prototyping, insights into local community culture are turned into concepts exploring ways to mediate from virtual communication to real-live interactions. Besides, ways of self-expression are via personal exchange objects instead of profile information are created ensuring people’s privacy. The result is a service called Bindle that allows people to "pack up" their things and activities, share those with the people around them and start a conversation. It is a new way to explore the neighborhood and engage with strangers in novel and surprising ways.
