Abstract
MEET er et musikanlæg til private sociale arrangementer. Gæster bruger deres egne smartphones til at nominere sange og stemme om, hvad der skal spilles næste, så musikken fortsætter uden pause. En fælles afspiller streamer numre fra en ekstern vært via internettet og er koblet til en lokal skærm, der viser den aktuelle sang og kommende nomineringer. Specialet beskriver konceptet og udviklingen af MEET og præsenterer tre feltstudier i forskellige rammer. Resultaterne viser, at MEET understøtter identitetsudtryk, indtryk og social interaktion og peger på generelle aspekter af interaktion på tværs af flere enheder. Systemet giver en ny måde at lytte til musik på ved private sociale begivenheder.
MEET is a music system for private social events. Guests use their own smartphones to nominate songs and vote on what plays next, so the music keeps going without pauses. A shared player streams tracks from a remote host over the internet and is linked to a local display that shows the current song and upcoming nominations. The thesis explains the concept and development of MEET and reports on three field tests in different locations. Findings indicate that MEET supports identity expression, impressions, and social interaction, and highlight general aspects of coordinating interaction across multiple devices. The system offers a new approach to listening to music at private social gatherings.
