Our system helps (familiar with location) Q1: The setup helps the task. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Our system helps. (strangers) Q1: The setup helps the task. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Our system encourages lab discussion. (familiar with location) Q3: During the task, we discuss locative music in lab. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Our system encourages lab discussion. (strangers) Q3: During the task, we discuss locative music in lab. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Our system reduces discussion time at location. (very significant with familiar ones) Q4: During tdiscuss he task, we go to the location and its locative music together. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Our system reduces discussion time at location. (not so significant as familiar ones) Q4: During tdiscuss he task, we go to the location and its locative music together. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Familiar ones are confident and need no more tools. Q5: In addition to the setup, we need more tools to finish the task. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

With our system, strangers feel that they need more help. (with map, strangers are much confident) Q5: In addition to the setup, we need more tools to finish the task. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Familiar ones feel less time pressure with our system. Q6: The task time is very tight. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Strangers also feel less time pressure with our system. Q6: The task time is very tight 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Familiar ones feel no difference about the locative music satisfaction Q6: I am satisfied with the planned music listened at the authentic location 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Strangers feel more satisfied about locative music with our system. Q6: I am satisfied with the planned music listened at the authentic location 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Question 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Satisfaction

Conclusion We integrating two research paradigms, a collaborative workspace connected with mobile users in physical space successfully. 1 Our work provides global and in situ viewpoint on a collaborative platform such that designers and participants can cooperate in virtual space and physical space. 2 In our preliminary observation, scale model (lab method) and mobile devices (field work) can facilitate designing locative media. 3

Conclusion Strangers love and need our system to plan and experience locative media. 4 Average task time is shorter. Experience of locative music is better. 5 Designing tools for locative media planning, needs to regard the user whether s/he is familiar with the site. 6
