Abstract

In this paper, we present an entry for the 2011 MobileHCI design competition. Our aim is to define the "essence" of mobile communication and connectivity, and illustrate it via a design example called Spaces Without Faces, an application to locate quiet study spaces on a university campus. We argue that the essence of mobile communication and connectivity, no matter the form factor of the phone, comes not from the ability to make text and voice calls, but rather to use the phone as a device for obtaining information about resources in nearby physical environments.
