“…Though researchers within HCI often mention the work of Westin and Altman, many focus on narrow topics such as online self-disclosure in a particular domain like ecommerce [2], social networking [5], information sharing [14] or location sharing preferences [11]. While these studies do address aspects of privacy in a specific realm, what they leave to be desired is a contribution to the broader understanding of perceptions of privacy across contexts.…”

In this paper we present preliminary results from a study of individual differences in privacy beliefs, as well as relate folk definitions of privacy to extant privacy theory. Focus groups were conducted with young adults aged 18-28 and older adults aged 65-75. Participants first shared their individual definitions of privacy, followed by a discussion of privacy in six scenarios chosen to represent a range of potentially invasive situations. Taken together, Westin's and Altman's theories of privacy accounted for both younger and older adults' ideas about privacy, however, neither theory successfully accounted for findings across all age and gender groups. Whereas males tended to think of privacy in terms of personal needs and convenience, females focused more on privacy in terms of others, respecting privacy rights, and safety. Older adults tended to be more concerned about privacy of space rather than information privacy. Initial results reinforce the notion that targeting HCI design to the user population, even with respect to privacy, is critically important.

“…This involved looking at Geocaching in relation to a broad set of services tied to locations (e.g., delivery of messages based on location [16,17], location-based collecting [24]). Following this, we wanted to reflect on our findings and understand them in the more specific context of location-based games.…”

Location-based games seek to move computer gaming out from behind the PC and into the "real world" of cities, streets, parks, and other locations. This real world physicality makes the experience fun for game players, yet it brings the unique challenge of creating and orchestrating such a game. That is, location-based games are often difficult to create, grow, and maintain over long periods of time. Our research investigates how location-based games can be designed to overcome this challenge of scalability. We studied the well-established location-based game of Geocaching through active participation and an online survey to better understand how it has succeeded in maintaining user involvement and growth over the last decade. Findings show that Geocaching benefits by having players directly create game content, including both lightweight and elaborate creations. Geocaching has also made it simple for players to perform game orchestration by monitoring game content, other players, and even non-players. We then characterize location-based games according to various attributes and suggest how the lessons learned from Geocaching could be applied more generally to the design of other location-based games and in which cases they should not be applied.
