Dix, Alan J., Quigley, Aaron, Subramanian, Sriram and Terrenghi, Lucia (2010): Workshop on coupled display visual interfaces. In: Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces 2010. pp. 408-410.
“Interactive displays are increasingly distributed in a broad spectrum of everyday life environments: They have very diverse form factors and portability characteristics, support a variety of interaction techniques, and can be used by a variable number of people. The coupling of multiple displays can thus create interactive "ecosystems" which mingle in the social context, and generate novel settings of communication, performance and ownership. The objective of this workshop is to focus on the range of research challenges and opportunities afforded by applications that rely on visual interfaces that can spread across multiple displays. Such displays are physically decoupled (i.e. connected to multiple computers) yet are visually coupled due to the interfaces and interactions they support. This can range from visual interfaces spread across multiple small private input displays (e.g. information exchange or game play) to small private displays coupled with larger public displays (e.g. public photo sharing).”

Rashid, Umer, Terrenghi, Lucia and Quigley, Aaron (2010): Labeling large displays for interaction with mobile devices: recognition of symbols for pairing techniques. In: Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces 2010. p. 417.
“Large interactive displays are an effective means to exchange contents with mobile devices for co-located collaboration in offices and schools. It is very important that the users are able to easily comprehend and learn the interaction techniques to pair their mobile devices with large displays. In this paper, we report on the results of an exploratory case study investigating the comprehension and understandability of the display labels for four pairing techniques i.e. pointing, touching, drawing and typing.”

“Cheap broadband access and hosting infrastructure on the web have enabled many services that traditionally would have been deployed as local desktop applications to be hosted and accessed via the Internet -- in the Cloud -- from any network-connected device. This trend is referred to as Cloud Computing. The movement towards a network-based environment implies novel conceptual models for storing, searching and sharing digital information on the web and across devices. In this paper we describe our concept design for management and visualization of resources in the Cloud Computing paradigm. Based on our insights from qualitative user studies, we design an environment which reflects the way people use spatial and temporal memory to organize and navigate through artifacts. We then discuss how our concept builds upon existing work and its implications for future work.”

Terrenghi, Lucia, Lang, Thomas and Lehner, Bernhard (2009): Elastic mobility: stretching interaction. In: Proceedings of 11th Conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices and services 2009. p. 46.
“Based on a consideration of usage and technological computing trends, we reflect on the implications of cloud computing on mobile interaction with applications, data and devices. We argue that by extending the interaction capabilities of the mobile device by connecting it to external peripherals, new mobile contexts of personal (and social) computing can emerge, thus creating novel contexts of mobile interaction. In such a scenario, mobile devices can act as context-adaptive information filters. We then present Focus, our work in progress on a context-adaptive UI, which we can demonstrate at the MobileHCI demo session as a clickable dummy on a mobile device.”

“This work presents the results of a comparative study in which we investigate the ways manipulation of physical versus digital media are fundamentally different from one another. Participants carried out both a puzzle task and a photo sorting task in two different modes: in a physical 3-dimensional space and on a multi-touch, interactive tabletop in which the digital items resembled their physical counterparts in terms of appearance and behavior. By observing the interaction behaviors of 12 participants, we explore the main differences and discuss what this means for designing interactive surfaces which use aspects of the physical world as a design resource.”

Hilliges, Otmar, Terrenghi, Lucia, Boring, Sebastian, Kim, David, Richter, Hendrik and Butz, Andreas (2007): Designing for collaborative creative problem solving. In: Proceedings of the 2007 Conference on Creativity and Cognition 2007, Washington DC, USA. pp. 137-146.
“Collaborative creativity is traditionally supported by formal techniques, such as brainstorming. These techniques improve the idea-generation process by creating group synergies, but also suffer from a number of negative effects. Current electronic tools to support collaborative creativity overcome some of these problems, but introduce new ones, by either losing the benefits of face-to-face communication or the immediacy of simultaneous contribution. Using an interactive environment as a test bed, we are investigating how collaborative creativity can be supported electronically while maintaining face-to-face communication. What are the design-factors influencing such a system? We have designed a brainstorming application that uses an interactive table and a large wall display, and compared the results of using it to traditional paper-based brainstorming in a user study with 30 participants. From the considerations that went into the design and the observations during the study we derive a number of design guidelines for collaborative systems in interactive environments.”

Terrenghi, Lucia (2007): Designing hybrid interaction through an understanding of the affordances of physical and digital technologies. In: Proceedings of the 2007 Conference on Creativity and Cognition 2007, Washington DC, USA. p. 301.
“With my work I aim at informing the design of hybrid interaction paradigms for interactive surfaces that integrate aspects of the physical and digital worlds so that more conscious choices can be made about the extent to which the integration of specific aspects of physical interaction makes sense. I suggest that different contexts of interaction imply different ways of integrating aspects of physical manipulation and that the affordances of both physical and digital media need to be identified and systematically analyzed.”

“The MODIE workshop is focused on models, principles and methodologie for the modeling and designing of user assistance in intelligent environments. One of the most interesting topics for the MobileHCI community is the question on how the complemetar paradigms of mobile computing and pervasive computing can supplement each other. How can mobile-personal and static-public devices be integrate to form Intelligent Environments, which effectively assist their users in typical activities and situations? We will invite researchers from multiple disciplines to submit short position papers, which contribute theoretical results and practical insights in order to foster a lively discussion about key research issues.”

“The paper deals with the design of an intelligent user interface augmenting the user experience in a museum domain, by providing and immersive audio environment. We focus on the issues concerning multimodal interaction, by taking into account aural-visual perception principles. In addition we highlight the potential of augmenting the visual real environment in a personalized way, thanks to context modeling techniques. The LISTEN project, a system for an immersive audio augmented environment applied in the art exhibition domain, provides an example of modeling and personalization methods affecting the audio interface in terms of content and organization.”

Knowledge wants to be free !
We have decided to give away world-class educational materials
because we believe that universal access to high quality education is key to the building
of peace, sustainable social and economic development, and intercultural dialogue.
To calculate just have much we have saved you, our wonderful readers, we compare our free encyclopedia to two
books we love:
$110: Human-Computer Interaction by Dix et al (a great textbook but without video interviews)
$116: Shneiderman's Designing the User Interface
(a great textbook but without video interviews).
As you are reading our encyclopedia on your iPad/tablet (and saving a few trees), we estimate that the price would be $90 if sold as an eBook.
With that number, we can calculate how much money we have saved our readers, based on calculating the number of readers.
How we calculate readership
Because of our online and tablet/iPad approach to publishing, we are able to precisely measure reading behaviour across hundreds of parameters in realtime: Anything from reading
speed, drop-off points in the text, reader demographics, and much more.
Based on our server logs and the Google Analytics API,
we calculate the number of readers as described in the calculation method below.
A reader is not the same as a simple pageview and a reader is not the same as a
website visitor (as described in our calculation method below).
We calculate readership for two types of readers:
- Readers that have read our whole encyclopedia, much the same way you read a printed book
- Readers that have reader an individual chapter
Calcalution method: How we define a reader
- First we use the Google Analytics API to get a report of the number of unique human visitors to a chapter/page. Google runs its business on ads and thus completely relies on the ability to distinguish between a human visitor and an automated request. If not, you could earn millions on automating clicks on Google Ads.
- We then compare that number to our Apache webserver logs, which report the much higher number of actual visits to a chapter/page (both human and automated). We calculate the difference in percent, which we call an "exaggeration factor", which we use in step 6 below.
- With a large part of the visitors excluded, we further exclude any visitor who:
- has not remained on the page for at least 3 minutes (this factor is calculated by recording visit durations of 1000 randomly selected visitors) or has not printed the page (i.e. has not visited the printerfriendly version of the chapter/page)
- has not scrolled the page (this factor is calculated by recording scroll movements on 1000 randomly selected visitors)
- We then further exclude "double readers", i.e. readers who read a portion of a chapter and then returns in,
say, a week or a month to read the rest.
Although this person's reading activity spans multiple server sessions, the person is only counted as a single reader.
We categorize a "double reader" as a visitor who:
- visits a page, or multiple pages, across multiple server sessions
- qualifies to be defined as a reader, cf step 1-3 above, in all server sessions
- uses the same originating IP address
- We then subtract 5% from the final number to counter-balance a last remaining factor, namely the situation where one reader reads a chapter on his/her tablet
using a WiFi connection (and counted as one reader) but then picks up his other tablet using a 3G dongle
(with another IP address) and re-reads some of the chapter. That will equal two readers, not one. We have no way
of calculating how many times this situation arises, but to be on the safe side we subtract 5%
from the final number.
- We then take half of the "exaggeration factor" from step 2 and substract from the final number. We do this for no rational reason. We do it only as a further measure to be certain that our number of readers is not inflated.
- To qualify as a reader who has read our whole encyclopedia - much the same way you read a printed book - that person must have qualified as a reader (cf. 1-6 above) of at least 80% of the encyclopedia chapters.
As a result, we have eliminated everything from automated requests to the more casual visitors. That leaves us with what we can safely call readers.
