Stitched groupies: A playful self-photo co-creation activity

Abstract

We have designed and implemented a photo co-creation activity, "Stitched Groupies," in a photo-taking and sharing platform called the #selfiestation. The system allows users to take and combine photos with peers so that they can create photos collaboratively and asynchronously across physical boundaries. Our work aims to connect users through creative photo co-creations and we are especially interested whether the mechanism can provide a light-weight and playful way to create new social ties.
