Finding the Unknown - Serendipitous Discovery in Co-Located Consumption of Digital Photo Collections
In Workshop Collocated Social Practices Surrounding Photos in conjunction with the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2008 (CHI '08), Florence, Italy, Apr 2008 (bib)

In this position paper we report initial findings from our experiences with developing photo sharing applications surrounding interactive tabletop displays. Especially the support for casual browsing, sidetracking and storytelling emerge as key challenges in order to foster communication around photo collections. Furthermore we discuss implications of our findings for the future development of such systems.
