    Investigating the Effect of Orientation and Visual Style on Touchscreen Slider Performance

    No full text
    Sliders are one of the most fundamental components usedin touchscreen user interfaces (UIs). When entering datausing a slider, errors occur due e.g. to visual perception,resulting in inputs not matching what is intended by the user.However, it is unclear if the errors occur uniformly acrossthe full range of the slider or if there are systematic offsets.We conducted a study to assess the errors occurring whenentering values with horizontal and vertical sliders as wellas two common visual styles. Our results reveal significanteffects of slider orientation and style on the precision of theentered values. Furthermore, we identify systematic offsetsthat depend on the visual style and the target value. As theerrors are partially systematic, they can be compensated toimprove users’ precision. Our findings provide UI designerswith data to optimize user experiences in the wide varietyof application areas where slider based touchscreen input isused

    Hybrid Online Survey System with Real-Time Moderator Chat

    Online surveys present a quick and efficient method to collect user experience data. However, they are less effective at extracting qualitative data. Due to response fatigue when answering open-ended questions, the quality of responses may be poor, and participants can skip answering individual questions, or drop out from the survey entirely, potentially introducing bias. To address these challenges, we developed a prototype tool that enables a test moderator to initiate a chat intervention with a participant at any point during the completion of an online survey. Through this approach, participants can be prompted to return to complete unanswered questions or provide clarification to given answers. A functional prototype system has been implemented and, as future work, will be evaluated with a variety of content and question types

    Tangible Explainable AI - an Initial Conceptual Framework

    Full text link
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions are becoming prevalent in almost all aspects of human life. However, their acceptance may be limited by a lack of transparency of how the AI works. Explainable AI (XAI) aims to provide the users of AI systems with an understanding of why decisions are made, increasing trust in the system. To date, research into XAI has focused on the use of graphical user interfaces, presenting numerical, textual or graphical explanations. However, AI is increasingly being used in systems that include physical devices, and hence the need for explainability in physical or tangible user interfaces (TUI) is also increasing. We present an initial conceptual framework for tangible explainable AI (TangXAI), which identifies the potential approaches of communicating XAI through physical artifacts, using the concepts of data physicalization and tangible interaction. The framework provides a basis into which ongoing research of tangible explainable AI can be mapped and related research gaps identified

    Comparing VR and Desktop 360 Video Museum Tours

    Full text link
    We investigate the user experience of taking a remote museum tour with 360 video technologies. We compare the experience of viewing a 360 video feed on a laptop screen vs. a 360 virtual reality (VR) video experienced through a head-mounted display (HMD). Our salient findings from a user study (n = 10) highlight that HMD VR provides a better immersion and sense of control for users. However, the HMD VR user experience suffers from the lack of personal contact, such as eye contact with the guide, discontinuities in the visual presentation, and missing multimodal contextual cues. The research contributes to the design of remote tourism services

    Preface to the Proceedings of the Workshop “New Trends in HCI and Sports” held at MobileHCI ‘22

    No full text
    The contemporary digitalization of the sports experience brought new challenges for the HCI community. HCI researchers started exploring how mobile and wearable devices could support the physical, social, and environmental aspects of sports, while technological transformations like the metaverse, inbodied technologies, and AI have recently paved the way for augmented humans, esports, new forms of sociality, and new ways to engage the sports audience. In this preface, we present the papers accepted to the workshop Net Trends in HCI and Sports, held in conjunction with MobileHCI ‘22, which precisely attempted to deal with the recent advancements in technology used in the sports domain
