Abstract

Mobile social matching applications are changing the way we meet new people. However, there are many open challenges associated with the design of systems that introduces people proactively without a specific user query, but instead when the opportunity arises. We present Encount'r, an opportunistic social matching system that implements passive context-awareness to unobtrusively inform people about relevant opportunities. Preliminary findings from a think aloud evaluation of both the concept and the designs are discussed and ongoing research efforts are presented.
