Stitched Groupies: A Playful Self-Photo Co-creation Activity

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