During my thesis I also touched the concept of `presence`, which can be used in order to prevent interrupting phone calls. But in order to use this `presence` system a decent User Interface needs to be implemented. Many corporations are working on such User Interfaces and I have seen some `presence` User Interfaces at different communication corporations. What I saw while visiting these corporations was the `local` `lifeworld` view on things.

So the presence User Interface they were developing might work for Scandinavians, but might not be well understood by South Asians or South Americans etc...
