Collections: Adapting the Display of Personal Objects for Different Audiences

@mastersthesis{citeulike:1683734, abstract = {Although current networked systems and online applications provide new opportunities for displaying and sharing personal information, they do not account for the underlying social contexts that frame such interactions. Existing categorization and management mechanisms for digital content have been designed to focus on the data they handle without much regard for the social circumstances within which their content is shared. As we share large collections of personal informa- tion over mediated environments, our tools need to account for the social scenarios that surround our interactions. This thesis presents Collections: an application for the man- agement of digital pictures according to their intended audi- ences. The goal is to create a graphical interface that supports the creation of fairly complex privacy decisions con- cerning the display of digital photographs. Simple graphics are used to enable the collector to create a wide range of audience arrangements for her digital photographs.
