Yet, many challenges like the dual trade-off between awareness and privacy and awareness and disruption still remain. In this paper we present our human-centred approach on how to utilise group dynamics and team development specific information patterns to control awareness information in ubiquitous sensor-based environments. The consolidated results from our concept, study and prototype demonstrate how an information item’s shift in significance can contribute improvements to the user’s overall awareness experience.enShifts in Significance: How Group Dynamics Improves Group AwarenessText/Conference Paper
