Abstract

Jogging is a healthy activity and many people enjoy jogging with others for social and motivational reasons. However, jogging partners might not always live in the same location, and it may be difficult to find a local jogger who runs at the same pace, we found through a survey "Jogging over a Distance" allows geographically distant joggers to socialize and motivate one another by using spatialized audio to convey presence and pace cues, similar to the experience of running side by side. We hope our approach encourages active and prospective joggers to jog longer and more often, while simultaneously supporting friendships.
