Abstract

Traditional techniques for balancing privacy and awareness in video media spaces, like blur filtration, have been proven to be ineffective for com-promising home situations involving a media space. As such, this paper presents the rationale and prototype design of a context-aware home media space (HMS) - defined as an always-on video media space used within a home setting - that focuses on identifying plausible solutions for balancing privacy and awareness in compromising home situations. In the HMS design, users are pro-vided with implicit and explicit control over their privacy, along with visual and audio feedback of the amount of privacy currently being maintained.
