Abstract Cross‐virtuality analytics (XVA) is a novel field of research within immersive and visual analytics. A broad range heterogeneous devices across the reality–virtuality continuum, along with respective metaphors analysis techniques, are currently becoming available. The goal XVA to enable that use transitional collaborative interfaces seamlessly integrate different support multiple users. In this work, we take closer look at analyse existing body work for an overview its current...
Opportunistic sensing allows to efficiently collect information about the physical world and persons behaving in it. This may mainstream human context activity recognition wearable pervasive computing by removing requirements for a specific deployed infrastructure. In this paper we introduce newly started European research project OPPORTUNITY within which develop mobile opportunistic systems. We outline project's objective, approach follow along sensing, data processing interpretation,...
The evaluation of mobile user interfaces can be a tedious task, especially if usability tests under real-world conditions should performed. In particular, the high-fidelity prototypes provides valuable measures about quality applications, which helps designers to identify potentials improvement for next revision. Due their costs or missing expert knowledge techniques such as cognitive walkthroughs heuristic are often not used. Additionally, commercial frameworks provide insufficient details...
A crucial part of the design mobile user interfaces is their evaluation with users. Although studies are widely used for measuring usability a software system, they time-consuming and expensive. In this study, we propose novel approach which based on computational analysis an app's visual appearance. By calculating metrics measure complexity interface, it should be possible to draw conclusions about perceived usability. Automating practice would beneficial developers designers, as help find...
Abstract Increasing vehicle automation presents challenges as drivers of highly automated vehicles become more disengaged from the primary driving task. However, even with fully driving, there will still be activities that require interfaces for vehicle-passenger interactions. Windshield displays are a technology promising potential they able to provide large content areas supporting in non-driving related activities. it is unknown how or passengers would use these displays. This work...
With the increasing knowledge advancements and availability of mixed reality (MR), number its purposes applications in vehicles rises. Mixed may help to increase road safety, support more immersive (non-) driving related activities, finally enhance passenger experience. MR also be enabling technology trust acceptance automated therefore on transition towards driving. Further, extends use cases virtual other technologies. However, there are still a challenges with when applied vehicles,...
Computer stereo vision is an important technique for robotic navigation and other mobile scenarios where depth perception needed, but it usually requires two cameras with a known horizontal displacement. In this paper, we present solution devices just one camera, which first step towards making computer available to wide range of that are not equipped cameras. We have built prototype using state-of-the-art phone, has be manually displaced in order record images from different lines sight....
Windshield displays are a promising technology for automotive applications. They easily allow to augment the capabilities of drivers or display content relevant non-driving related activities. However, little information is available on how potential users would utilize these displays. In this paper we present results user study (N=31) addressing preferences windshield in automated driving. Our goal was find out like applications appear terms size, position, and type. Participants could...
In this paper, we present an implemented system for supporting group interaction in mobile distributed computing environments. First, introduction to context and a motivation using contextual information facilitate is given. We then the architecture of our system, which consists two parts: subsystem location sensing that acquires about users as well spatial proximities between them, one actual context-aware application, provides services interaction.
Nowadays, HCI Research on automated driving is commonly carried out using either low-quality setups with 2D monitors or expensive simulators motion platforms. Furthermore, software for user studies often and hard to modify different scenarios. We plan fill this gap by proposing a low-cost, high-fidelity immersive prototyping simulator making use of virtual reality (VR) technology: AutoWSD - Automated research windshield displays. showcase hybrid hardware solution as well demonstrate how...
With increasing automation, vehicles could soon become mobile work- and living spaces, but traditional user interfaces (UIs) are not designed for this domain. We argue that high levels of productivity experience will only be achieved in SAE L3 automated if UIs modified non-driving related tasks. As controls might far away (up to 2 meters), we suggest use gaze-based interaction with windshield displays. In work, investigate the effect different dwell times feedback designs (circular linear...

Heat maps are an important usability tool for visualising eye gaze data, mouse movement or click interaction on web pages. Regarding mobile applications however, use cases heat still limited. For example, tracking is difficult to realise due limitations imposed by mobility hardware requirements. Moreover, understanding multi-touch have not been used as a yet.

Currently, there is a lack of possibilities to quantify the complexity mobile user interfaces with metrics. User studies for evaluating experience are costly and time consuming, but no tools available automate this process. A tool automatically calculating metrics would make quantifiable thus allow easily comparing different versions an application or apps among each other. We started developing service Android OS calculate interface In paper, we present our approach describe how implemented.
