通过迭代设计方法，我们提出并评估了将用户创建的信息合并到上下文感知系统中的方法。我们实施并测试了一种名为 Campus Aware 的位置敏感大学校园导游，它允许用户用文本注释来注释物理空间。目的是让校园游客了解周围环境中正在发生的活动。我们对 Campus Aware 的评估显示，用户提供了对其他人来说有趣且有用的独特内容。他们还充当版主，对不准确的注释进行更正并回答其他用户提出的问题。我们发现我们的系统很容易分散注意力，并且无法足够精确地检测位置以防止用户混淆。我们的研究结果提出了使上下文感知系统更易于用户理解和享受的新方法。
Through an iterative design approach, we have proposed and evaluated ways of incorporating user-created information into context-aware systems. We implemented and tested a location-sensitive college campus tour guide called Campus Aware that allows users to annotate physical spaces with text notes. The goal was to provide visitors to the campus with a sense of the activities going on in the environment. Our evaluation of Campus Aware revealed that users provided unique content that was interesting and useful to others. They also served as moderators posting corrections to inaccurate notes and answering questions posed by other users. We discovered that our system easily became a distraction and was not able to detect location precisely enough to prevent user confusion. Our findings suggest new ways to make contextaware systems easier for users to comprehend and enjoy.
