Abstract
Live video has gone mobile. In this paper we present an experiment on mobile phone live video group communication, conducted in Dublin, Ireland. We observed 24 people who self- organized into groups for sending and watching real time internet videos on mobile phones over two days. A total of 49 first person view live videos were sent during the experiment. This paper reports observations on attitudes, opinions, communication and context, as well as technical issues regarding the experiment. Findings include varying preferences between live vs. delayed video as well as between following vs. sending live videos. We describe some of the positive and negative feelings that the experiment caused. Finally, we also discuss implications of this technology for wider user populations.
