Abstract
The objective of my research is to investigate how daily objects can be augmented with embedded technologies to support public opportunistic sociality (i.e. social curiosity, awareness, f2f interaction). I investigate how inhabitants of public spaces discover and use the augmented objects and the effects on daily sociality. I explore how different modes of engagement impact on interactions and how these vary in different locations. I address my research questions by deploying technological prototypes in month-lasting studies in the wild. I rely on both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse how heterogeneous and differently recurrent users discover make sense and appropriate technologies over time in relation to situated sociality.
