title = "Breaking the campus bubble: Informed, engaged, connected",
abstract = "This paper introduces UniVote, a system supporting mobile phone-based interaction with public displays. The case study carried out at Lancaster University indicates that the campus {"}bubble{"} in which students live can lead to feelings of isolation within an insular community cut off from the outside world. UniVote makes use of a voting system to help elicit user involvement, keep users informed of campus- and world-wide events and news and create a sense of community. Findings of this preliminary study suggest that the campus {"}bubble{"} can indeed be broken, and the voting component of the system particularly fosters interaction and human connectedness.",
