We present Shoe me the Way, a novel tactile interface for eyes-free pedestrian navigation in urban environments. Our prototypical implementation can be fully integrated into users' own, regular shoes without permanent modifications. Interface use does not distract users from their surroundings. It thereby adds to safety and enables them explore environments more freely than is possible with prevailing mobile map-based systems. evaluated our prototype using two different modes study 21...
A common issue in gesture elicitation studies is that participants are influenced by interaction with digital products, imitating touchscreen gestures or WIMP icons. In our study, we adapted and experimentally tested two of Morris' et al.'s suggestions for reducing legacy bias: increased production covert kinaesthetic priming. Our findings indicate the practical effectiveness these strategies might be limited, given only found medium effect sizes a wide variance between overshadows any...
We investigated the spatial knowledge that users of pedestrian navigation support acquire about navigated area. In particular, we compare two conditions: A spatially richer condition, which provides continual access to information route directions and surroundings via a local map at closest zoom level. And sparser in are given tactile display only as decision points come up. field study, 28 participants on foot through previously unfamiliar urban Data resulting knowledge, gaze distribution...
Artificial intelligence (AI) game engines have frequently been used to drive computational antagonists when playing games against humans. Limited work exists, however, on using human players' psychophysical measures directly parametrise AI engines. Instead, parameters optimise performance are usually derived from general play-related data or user models. This paper presents novel research eye movement in addition users' strategies adapt the live play of a antagonist visuo-spatial strategy...
The authors explored knowledge effects on comprehension of multimedia health information by older adults (age 60 or older). Participants viewed passages about hypertension, with text accompanied relevant and irrelevant pictures, then answered questions the passage. Fixations pictures were measured eye-tracking. more hypertension understood better. This advantage was related to how they processed passages: while differences unrelated overall time viewing displays, relationships between...
Abstract This article presents research into human mental spatial reasoning with orientation knowledge. In particular, we look at problems about cardinal directions that possess multiple valid solutions (i.e., are spatially underdetermined), preferences for some of these solutions, and representational procedural factors lead to such preferences. The presents, first, a discussion existing, related conceptual computational approaches; second, results empirical the solution reasoners actually...
Difficulty in TETRIS is adjusted by adapting the speed with which blocks fall. In this contribution, we describe results of an exploratory study investigated relationships between players' performance and their subjective assessment difficulty fun. We tested five different algorithms that, instead adjusting game speed, adjust choosing based on current state. With our results, establish pile height bumpiness as parameters that indicate a player during live game, discuss inherent block show...
One of the frequently examined design principles in multimedia learning is personalization principle. Based on empirical evidence this principle states that using personalised messages more beneficial than formal language (e.g. 'you' instead 'the'). Although there these slight changes regard to style affect learning, motivation and perceived cognitive load, it remains unclear, (1) whether positive effects can be transferred all kinds content materials specific potentially aversive health...
With the development of modern geovisual analytics tools, several researchers have emphasized importance understanding users' cognitive, perceptual, and affective tendencies for supporting s ...
Communication with remote persons over a video link is common today, e.g. to connect family members abroad, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, social activities such as board games are rarely shared in this way, chat software does not support scenario well. interactive tabletops provide inherent for natural tangible interaction items on tabletop surface.
Design is a complex process often described as collaboration between designer and herself. In architectural design, must consider the selection of subset actions from set possible while accounting for consequences on overall design. Computer-based design tools enable humans to operate more efficiently in this process. We present CoSyCAD, program that can be used assist architects layout floor plan simultaneously analyze cognitive complexity routes through an indoor environment, thereby...
