I'd be curious about an ambient display of time, particularly one with a medium notification level.
Attention and interaction this concept builds on the paper's notion of notification level but is distinct in that it focuses on how the user deals with the notifications.
However, excellent execution along the dimensions of notification level, representational fidelity and to some extent aesthetic emphasis make the TUI very intuitive and pleasant to use.
Systems have been categorized based on their levels in each dimension of information capacity, notification level, representational fidelity and aesthetic emphasis.
It seems like many systems we currently use for time are either low notification level (user poll – I must look to a watch, phone, wall clock, etc. to read off the time) or high notification level (my phone buzzes/a notification pops up on my computer alerting me of an impending meeting).
In a September 2011 filing, MF Global said it had "increased its net capital and currently has net capital sufficient to exceed both the required minimum level and Finra's early-warning notification level".
The Notification Level is Medium: the device exists primarily to showcase the relationship between the users, but can notify the users if they are not spending enough time together or opportunities to spend time together.
The Pousman and Stasko reading took me back to thinking about my car's dashboard along the design dimensions of information capacity, notification level, representational fidelity and aesthetic emphasis (Posuman et al:69).
