Title:Curation, Provocation, and Digital Identity: Risks and

Motivations for Sharing Provocative Images Online

Reference Information: Carnegie Mellon University

Author Bios: all three authors are from Carnegie Mellon University. all of them are PHD student researching in Digital Data.

summary:

In this paper, they discuss why people want to posting personal images online that would risk their identity.They conduct a study based on 10 Flickr users, and ask them what is their intention for posting these kind of photos. Each duration is around 1-2 hours. As result, they found people advocate for the right to be themselves, the rights of others, and seek to protect others.

    It's about novel that the paper i have read. It did talk about previous researches and how it contributes to theirs. The previous researches didn't ask the same question, but come out with the same answer. The related work is mostly on the same topic, however, they are not doing survey instead of the paper i read about. 

Evaluation:

They used qualitative and biased measures. The method is systemic since this is the only way to ask true feelings of people. The study consists 10 Flickr users that vary in the gender, age, interest. I think even the number is pretty small, however, it does include the whole system. They interview 10 users and ask what do they think about posting inappropriate pictures online. And then they would analyze the answer and discuss the answer to readers.

Discussion:

I think the work is pretty concise and tell us what people think about photo sharing. It did contribute to whom is interested in people who like to share photos. Especially most of the users they ask has post photos that are considered inappropriate to most parent. This study is actually really fun to read since it tells us about what people think and why they think that way.

Intro:

title:TeleAdvisor: A Versatile Augmented Reality Tool for Remote Assistance

reference information: Israel

author bios: They are all from Israel doing research. Their lab is IBM Haifa Research Lab.

summary:

teleAdvisor is remote assistance device that consists camera, projector, and a machine hand. it bascially is a remote helper. it's used to help people over the network with portable device.  it is able to project text, image, and pointer. So the device can help people to go through some simple installation.

    This idea is not very novel, since this topic has many people research on it. This is also because this is mainly what many people thought of when they think about computer human interaction. The related work I read about seems to have a well developed situation on this topic. Compare the works i read to the paper, it seems like the overall situation is well develop. However, in the paper, they said this is just initial step of this kind of work.

Evaluation:

it uses qualitative measure mainly and unbiased measures. I believe it did measure part of the system, since it only did a study over 10 people with two tasks. The first task is ask the participants to build Lego assembly work, and the second task is to install TV and DVD cables.  It did show a good result on the study. 

Discussion

I think the work is a very useful device to develop on. However, it's only still in a baby stage that many people have not try to make it into reality. The evaluation is appropriated since it help us to understand more about this device. The contribution is about novel, because it show people a way of doing remote assistance.
