The madeira touch: Encouraging visual-spatial exploration using a tactile interactive display
No full textThe current information marketplace for tourists is dominated by for-profit purveyors of information. Potential visitors must rely on experts-for-hire or search engine results in order to learn about a desired destination. In this paper, we introduce The Madeira Touch, a multimodal display installation rooted in the unique characteristics of Madeira, which allows users to explore the island by selecting a type of scenery and showing the user-generated photos of that type of scenery in a map-based interface. To make this pervasive display more engaging, we designed an exploratory tactile-input mode of interaction: users will be able to touch a physical object, representing a type of scenery (a rock for mountains, a seashell for the sea, etc.), which will then bring up suitable photos of that type of scenery overlaid on a map of the island. The display will help users to form their mental image of the island and to plan trips that best suit their interests. Copyright is held by the author/owner(s)

Subjective probabilities: psychological theories and economic applications
No full textAbbigail J. Chiodo, Massimo Guidolin, Michael T. Owyang, and Makoto Shimoji> Real-life decisionmakers are often forced to estimate the likelihood of uncertain future events. Usually, economists assume that these agents behave in a fully rational manner, employing statistical rules to assess probabilities, and that they maximize expected utility. Psychological studies, however, have shown that people do not tend to behave as rational models would predict. The authors review three rules of thumb taken from the psychology literature that people rely on when assessing the likelihood of uncertain events. The authors construct a simple model of belief formation that incorporates these rules and then present one formal and three illustrative applications showing how these psychological phenomena cause deviations from anticipated economic outcomes.Economic conditions ; Prediction (Psychology)
