Acknowledgments

we are indebted to all those who participated in our field research and prototype trials. their time, commitment and thoughts during the studies have been invaluable. Special thanks must also go to those who have worked on the design and development of the prototypes as well as helping explore and evaluate their utility. Abi Sellen, Shahram Izadi, Tim Regan and Steve Hodges played vital roles in this. Ken Wood and Lyndsay Williams also made substantial contributions during the ideation stage of the fridge magnet project. Rachel Eardley deserves particular thanks for her contributions to the interaction design for homenote, the whereabouts clock and the fridge magnet concepts.
