ABSTRACT
Human communication and interaction comprise a wide range of verbal and nonverbal cues. Further adoption of novel telecommunication methods such as e-mail, chat, instant messaging (IM), mobile phone SMS text messaging, and videoconferencing; have augmented our mediated interaction abilities. However, a significant (and important) amount of human expression and interaction information is never captured, transmitted, or expressed with current computer mediated communication (CMC) tools. We also lack ambient methods of maintaining contact when not co-located with family and friends. Communal Interfaces is a new research effort aimed at the study of nonverbal human cues: their intent, motion, meaning, subtleties, and importance in communication. In this paper we address issues involved in the design, construction, and evaluation of Connexus, one such communal interface.

ConNexus to awarenex: extending awareness to mobile users
CHI '01: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe explored the use of awareness information to facilitate communication by developing a series of prototypes. The ConNexus prototype integrates awareness information, instant messaging, and other communication channels in an interface that runs on a ...
Approaching and leave-taking: Negotiating contact in computer-mediated communication
A major difference between face-to-face interaction and computer-mediated communication is how contact negotiation---the way in which people start and end conversations---is managed. Contact negotiation is especially problematic for distributed group ...
SenseMS: a user-centered approach to enrich the messaging experience for teens by non-verbal means
MobileHCI '05: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Human computer interaction with mobile devices & servicesThis paper reports the user study and design of a concept to improve mobile messaging for teens. A study of current mobile phone use by teens (16-18) showed that, while they prefer communicating by Short Message Service (SMS), they miss expressiveness ...
