  1. Sound Pryer: truly mobile joint music listening Mattias Östergren Mobility Studio, The Interactive Institute http://www.tii.se/mobility mattias.ostergren@tii.se

  2. Music Sharing Today • Using peer-to-peer computing applications: • Kazaa, Gnucleus etc. • Sharing media files: • .mp3, .wma etc. • Stationary activity.

  3. Music Sharing Tomorrow • Interesting research prototypes: • Gerd Kortuem: Proem platform • Mikael Wiberg: Folk Music • Arianna Basoli: TunA • Augmenting face-to-face interaction with music sharing: • Meeting on the plaza, sitting in a bus, etc. • Mobile yet semi-stationary compared to...

  4. Music Sharing the day after tomorrow? • Sound Pryer • Shared car stereo. Listen to what the other stereos close-by are playing. • Application of wireless ad hoc networking for PDAs (RTP streaming and MP3 files) • Augmenting mundane encounters in traffic with joint listening experiences • Truly mobile activity

  5. This is crazy!?! • You will only hear snippets of music - where is the fun in that? • Dangerously distracting - awareness may steal attention from driving? • Besides will it work technically?

  6. Field Trial • 13 users driving along limited route for a limited time using a Sound Pryer prototype • Video recorded each participant and performed interviews.

  7. Results • Although constrained test procedure: • Sound Pryer was enjoyable despite only hearing snippets due to the crude awareness (e.g. guessing the source) • UI allowed users to ”ignore” Sound Pryer and concentrate on driving • Somewhat dissapointing performance but prototype was able to demonstrate the concept

  8. Conclusion • Threads to pick up for mobile music sharing enthusiasts: • Streaming rather than file downloading • Design for awareness. Give clues of the co-present users’ identity. • ”Unsupervised UI” allows interaction during ”mobile work” (e.g. driving)
