论文摘要
数字通信通常是快速而自动化的。从自动完成的消息到“喜欢”，研究表明，这种轻巧的相互作用会影响对真实性和亲密关系的感知。另一方面，人际关系的努力可以通过传达一种关怀感来建立情感纽带，并且对于建立和维持关系至关重要。为了探索努力的沟通，我们设计和评估了Auggie，这是一种iOS应用程序，该应用程序鼓励合作伙伴为彼此创建手工制作的增强现实（AR）体验。 Auggie围绕着为其他人制作照片，动画动作，绘画和音频的3D角色。我们对30名参与者（15对）进行了为期两周的实地研究，他们远程使用了Auggie。我们的定性发现表明，Auggie参与者通过手工制作过程进行了有意义的努力，并感觉与他们的合作伙伴更接近，尽管该工具在所有情况下都不适合。我们讨论了鼓励努力沟通的系统的设计含义和未来方向。
Digital communication is often brisk and automated. From auto-completed messages to "likes," research has shown that such lightweight interactions can affect perceptions of authenticity and closeness. On the other hand, effort in relationships can forge emotional bonds by conveying a sense of caring and is essential in building and maintaining relationships. To explore effortful communication, we designed and evaluated Auggie, an iOS app that encourages partners to create digitally handcrafted Augmented Reality (AR) experiences for each other. Auggie is centered around crafting a 3D character with photos, animated movements, drawings, and audio for someone else. We conducted a two-week-long field study with 30 participants (15 pairs), who used Auggie with their partners remotely. Our qualitative findings show that Auggie participants engaged in meaningful effort through the handcrafting process, and felt closer to their partners, although the tool may not be appropriate in all situations. We discuss design implications and future directions for systems that encourage effortful communication.
