Technology greatly influences the mediation of intimacy for couples in long-distance relationships and is a well-researched area within HCI. However, mediating intimacy through technology for co-located couples is relatively unexplored, and is often portrayed as having a negative influence on intimacy. This project presents a longitudinal study consisting of 13 co-located couples using a technology probe for a period of two weeks. The study aims to understand how technology can mediate intimacy for co-located couples. Our findings show Shaping Romance was successful in mediating intimacy through active participation, reflection, and activities. Further, we present implications for designing for intimacy practices and research.
