abstract = {We developed an Android phone unlock mechanism utilizing facial recognition and specific mimics to access a specially secured portion of the device, designed for plausible deniability. The widespread adoption of biometric authentication methods, such as fingerprint and facial recognition, has revolutionized mobile device security, offering enhanced protection against shoulder-surfing attacks and improving user convenience compared to traditional passwords. However, a downside is the potential for coercion by third parties to unlock the device. While text-based authentication allows users to reveal a hidden system by entering a special password, this is challenging with face authentication. We evaluated our approach in a role-playing user study involving 50 participants, with one participant acting as the attacker and the other as the suspect. Suspects successfully accessed the secured area; mostly without detection. They further expressed interest in this feature on their personal phones. We also discuss open challenges and opportunities in implementing such authentication mechanisms.},

To this end, we built and deployed an Android application on participants’ smartphones, acquiring data on actual privacy permission states of installed apps, monitoring permission changes, and assessing reasons for changes using experience sampling. The results of our study show that users often conduct multiple revocations in short time frames, and revocations primarily affect rarely used apps or permissions non-essential for apps’ core functionality. Our findings can inform future (proactive) privacy control mechanisms and help target opportune moments for supporting privacy control.},

However, when TV is used for educational purposes, like in edutainment shows, interactivity could enhance the learning benefit for the viewer. In recent years, AR has been increasingly explored in HCI research to enable interaction among viewers as well as viewers and hosts. Yet, how to implement this collaborative AR (CoAR) experience remains an open research question. This paper explores four approaches to asynchronous collaboration based on the Cognitive Apprenticeship Model: scaffolding, coaching, modeling, and collaborating. We developed a pilot show for a fictional edutainment series and evaluated the concept with two TV experts. In a wizard-of-oz study, we test our AR prototype with eight users and evaluate the perception of the four collaboration styles. The AR-enhanced edutainment concept was well-received by the participants, and the coaching collaboration style was perceived as favorable and could possibly be combined with the modeling style.},

There are different ways to implement PPAs by varying the degree of autonomy or decision model. This paper investigates user perceptions of PPA autonomy models and privacy profiles -- archetypes of individual privacy needs -- as a basis for PPA decisions in private environments (e.g., a friend's home). We first explore how privacy profiles can be assigned to users and propose an assignment method. Next, we investigate user perceptions in 18 usage scenarios with varying contexts, data types and number of decisions in a study with 1126 participants. We found considerable differences between the profiles in settings with few decisions. If the number of decisions gets high ($>$ 1/h), participants exclusively preferred fully autonomous PPAs. Finally, we discuss implications and recommendations for designing scalable PPAs that serve as privacy interfaces for future IoT devices.},

We found that the attributes that correlated most strongly with participants’ perceptions of the established tangible privacy mechanisms were their “need for touch” and previous experiences with the mechanisms. We use our findings to identify desirable characteristics of tangible mechanisms to better inform future tangible, digital, and mixed privacy protections. We also show which individuals benefit most from tangibles, ultimately motivating a more individual and effective approach to privacy protection in the future.},

In this work, we conducted a 24-hour in-the-wild study tracking 21 users' eye gaze during smartphone unlocks. Our findings highlight substantial eye gaze behaviour variations influenced by authentication methods, physical activity, and environment.

Phishing attacks are the point of entry for harmful follow-up attacks, and many organizations use simulated phishing campaigns to train employees to adopt secure behaviors. We conducted a pre-registered vignette experiment (N=793), investigating the factors that make a simulated phishing campaign seem (un)acceptable, and their influence on intention to manipulate the campaign. In an online experiment, we varied whether employees gave prior consent, whether the phishing email promised a financial incentive and the consequences for employees who clicked on the phishing link. We found that employees' prior consent had a positive effect on the acceptance of a simulated phishing campaign. The consequences ``employee interview'' and ``termination of the work contract'' had a negative effect on acceptance. We found no statistically significant effects of consent, monetary incentive, and consequences on manipulation probability. Few participants described reasons for ``manipulating'' the campaign, mainly mentioning curiosity. Our results shed light on the factors influencing acceptance of simulated phishing campaigns and provide take-aways for future work in this space.},

Little effective means for protection exist today against such attacks beyond raising awareness through education. At the same time, the proliferation of sensors in our everyday lives – both in personal devices and in our (smart) environments – provides an unprecedented opportunity for developing solutions assessing the cognitive vulnerabilities of users and serves as a basis for novel means of protection. This report documents the program and the outcomes of the Dagstuhl Seminar 23462 “Defining and Fortifying Against Cognitive Vulnerabilities in Social Engineering”. This 3-day seminar brought together experts from academia, industry, and the authorities working on social engineering.

abstract = {The use of symbols and metaphors can be a fast and effective way of conveying abstract concepts. At the same time, misconceived symbols can lead to misunderstandings and errors. Therefore, when it comes to privacy and security, clear communication is essential to avoid putting users’ personal data at risk. In this paper, we elicit 32 symbols and metaphors associated with privacy and security through two brainstorming sessions (n = 8, each). Six experts further separated this collection into security and privacy-related symbols and generated clusters based on similarity. Using participants’ clusters, we derived underlying themes. As a result, we present a symbol and metaphor space for privacy and security and discuss their perceived meaning. Our findings can serve researchers, designers, and developers to find suitable symbols or metaphors for a given scenario (e.g., to decide on the interaction metaphor for a tangible security mechanism) and to understand if a symbol is ambiguous or how it may be understood (e.g., is an eye associated with privacy configurations?). Our work provides an initial knowledge base supporting effective communication in this field.},

To explore this question, we propose PalmGazer as an interaction concept integrating eye-hand interaction to establish a singlehandedly operable menu system. In particular, PalmGazer is designed to support quick and spontaneous digital commands– such as to play a music track, check notifications or browse visual media – through our devised three-way interaction model: hand opening to summon the menu UI, eye-hand input for selection of items, and dragging gesture for navigation. A key aspect is that it remains always-accessible and movable to the user, as the menu supports meaningful hand and head based reference frames. We demonstrate the concept in practice through a prototypical mobile UI with application probes, and describe technique designs specifically-tailored to the application UI. A qualitative evaluation highlights the system’s interaction benefits and drawbacks, e.g., that common 2D scroll and selection tasks are simple to operate, but higher degrees of freedom may be reserved for two hands. Our work contributes interaction techniques and design insights to expand AR’s uni-manual capabilities.},

We present a lab experiment, in which we assessed 146 users‘ real-world susceptibility to nausea, dizziness and eye strain before exposing them to a roller coaster ride with low or high visual resolution. We found that nausea is significantly lower for higher resolution but real world motion susceptibility has a much stronger effect on dizziness, nausea, and eye strain.

abstract = {An increasing number of devices and sensors in the environments we access daily are capable of collecting personal data about us. Surveillance cameras in public spaces, smart speakers in friends' living rooms, or smartphones carried by individuals are just a few examples. At the same time, many users are unaware of sensors being in place, in particular, those deployed in unfamiliar environments. Hence, it becomes increasingly challenging for users to keep control over their personal data being tracked and/or processed. Crucially, for users to be able to make informed decisions and privacy choices, they first of all need to be aware of potential privacy intrusions in their surroundings. In this chapter, we address this by exploring means to increase users' privacy awareness in the Internet of Things. In particular, we illustrate the design space for such privacy awareness mechanisms, including what information should be displayed, and how this information can be made accessible for various target groups such as (to-be) device owners or passers-by. We also introduce and compare three sample scenarios in which privacy awareness mechanisms can support users: (1) privacy-relevant information for purchase decisions, (2) on-demand privacy-relevant information for active device search, and (3) in situ privacy-relevant information and guidance. The chapter is complemented by a discussion on future approaches to raising privacy awareness.},

Done frequently, this can become a tedious and fatiguing task, especially for tablets where users physically employ a stylus or finger touch. As our eyes are naturally involved in visual search and acquisition of desired menu items, we propose gaze to shortcut the physical movement. We investigate gaze-based mode-switching for menus in tablets by a novel mode-switching methodology, assessing a gaze-only (dwell-time) and multimodal (gaze and tap) technique, compared to hand-based interaction. The results suggest that users can efficiently alternate between manual and eye input when interacting with the menu; both gaze-based techniques have lower physical demand and individual speed-error trade-offs. This led to a novel technique that substantially reduces time by unifying mode-selection and mode-application. Our work points to new roles for our eyes to efficiently short-cut menu actions during the workflow.},

This work builds on the assumption that manipulation techniques, even if going unnoticed by users, still lead to changes in their behavior. In this work, we present the outcomes of an online study in which we collected gaze and mouse movement data during an email sorting task. Our findings show that phishing emails lead to significant differences across behavioral features but depend on the nature of the email.

We collected a dataset of users’ feet (N = 21), wearing three types of footwear (personal shoes, standard shoes, and socks) on three floor types (carpet, laminate, and linoleum). By combining visual and thermal features, an AUC between 91.1\% and 98.9\%, depending on floor type and shoe type can be achieved, with personal shoes on linoleum floor performing best.

While virtual embodiment has been extensively investigated, we know very little about how embodiment affects users’ experienced emotions. In a user study (N = 40), we applied an autobiographical recall method to evoke happiness and investigated the influence of different types of avatar embodiment (personalized same-gender, personalized opposite-gender, non-personalized same-gender, and non-personalized opposite-gender) on participants’ perceived emotion. We recorded both self-reported assessments and physiological data to observe participants’ emotional responses resulting from the emotions elicited by the use of different avatars. We found significant differences in happiness with the personalized same-gender avatar and the personalized opposite-gender avatar. We provide empirical evidence, demonstrating the influence of avatar personalization on emotions in VR. We conclude with recommendations for users and designers of virtual reality experiences.},

Our force measurements show that we can induce 3.56 N at a distance of 10 mm. Placing the magnet on the index finger allowed for influencing key press times and was perceived as comfortable.

abstract = {We propose an approach to identify users' exposure to fake news from users' gaze and mouse movement behavior. Our approach is meant as an enabler for interventions that make users aware of engaging with fake news while not being consciously aware of this. Our work is motivated by the rapid spread of fake news on the web (in particular, social media) and the difficulty and effort required to identify fake content, either technically or by means of a human fact checker. To this end, we set out with conducting a remote online study ($N=54$) in which participants were exposed to real and fake social media posts while their mouse and gaze movements were recorded. We identify the most predictive gaze and mouse movement features and show that fake news can be predicted with 68.4\% accuracy from users' gaze and mouse movement behavior. Our work is complemented by discussing the implications of using behavioral features for mitigating the spread of fake news on social media.},

abstract = {Blockchain technology is believed to have a potential for innovation comparable to the early internet. However, it is difficult to understand, learn, and use. A particular challenge for teaching software engineering of blockchain applications is identifying suitable use cases: When does a decentralized application running on smart contracts offer advantages over a classic distributed software architecture? This question extends the realms of software engineering and connects to fundamental economic aspects of ownership and incentive systems. The lack of usability of today's blockchain applications indicates that often applications without a clear advantage are developed. At the same time, there exists little information for educators on how to teach applied blockchain application development. We argue that an interdisciplinary teaching approach can address these issues and equip the next generation of blockchain developers with the skills and entrepreneurial mindset to build valuable and usable products. To this end, we developed, conducted, and evaluated an interdisciplinary capstone-like course grounded in the design sprint method with N = 11 graduate students. Our pre-/post evaluation indicates high efficacy: Participants improved across all measured learning dimensions, particularly use-case identification and blockchain prototyping in teams. We contribute the syllabus, a detailed evaluation, and lessons learned for educators.},

In this study (N=21) we investigate challenges participants face as they are required to set up and calibrate a virtual reality system in their home without assistance from experimenters. This allowed us to identify key reasons why participants struggle with this task. Our findings suggest that providing illustrative instructions and additional assistance on request can notably increase the success rate of setting up a VR environment for participating in a remote study. Interestingly, we also find that it is harder to recruit participants who do not have prior VR experience to participate in remote VR studies.

We present the results of an online survey (N = 140) in which we investigate user stories of privacy-invasive situations in their homes during such meetings. Our results show that online meetings reveal private information that would not have become available during physical meetings. This often involves third parties (e.g., children, spouse, colleague), who might not even be aware of this.

To do so, we ran a two-week in-the-wild study (N=12) in which we recorded images with a 180-degree field of view lens that was mounted on the smartphone's front-facing camera. In addition, we collected contextual information and allowed participants to assess the situation. We found that only a small fraction of shoulder surfing incidents that occur during authentication are actually perceived as threatening. Furthermore, our findings suggest that our notions of (un)safe places need to be rethought. Our work is complemented by a discussion of implications for future user-centered attack-aware systems. This work can serve as a basis for usable security researchers to better design systems against user-centered attacks.},

Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) can play a vital role in improving accessibility by identifying and overcoming challenges that hold users back. However, most HCI studies have focused only on Bitcoin and Ethereum so far. Newer blockchains promise transaction speeds comparable to traditional payment systems, enabling the use of cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange for everyday transactions. To explore the viability of cryptocurrency-based point-of-sale solutions through a human-centered lens, we used Bitcoin Lightning to implement a payment system and evaluated it in a mixed-methods study. Our results show that Bitcoin Lightning is a usable alternative to traditional solutions and that friction aggregates at the interface to existing payment systems, i.e. when purchasing Bitcoin. We discuss qualitative insights and derive implications for deploying cryptocurrencies as payment solutions.},

We follow by expanding on current motion matching implementations - previously developed in the context of gaze or mid-air input - so these take advantage of the affordances of touch-input devices. We validate the technique by characterizing user performance via a standard selection task (N=24) where we report success rates (>95%), selection times (~1.6 s), input footprint, grip stability, usability, and subjective workload - in both phone and tablet conditions. Finally, we present a design space that illustrates six ways in which motion matching can be embedded into mobile interfaces via a camera prototype application.},

However, it is not trivial for consumers to verify whether carbon offset projects deliver what they promise. While technical solutions for measuring their impact are emerging, there is a lack of understanding of how to translate carbon offset data into trustworthy interface designs. With interaction between users and offset projects mainly happening online, it is critical to meet this design challenge. To this end, we designed and evaluated interfaces with varying trust cues for carbon offset projects in a randomized online experiment (n=244). Our results show that content design, particularly financial and forest-related quantitative data presented at the right detail level, increases the perceived trustworthiness, while images have no significant effect. We contribute the first specific guidance for interface designers for carbon offsets and discuss implications for interaction design.},

Each technique allows users to interact with the hand-attached menu using the same hand, while keeping the other hand free for drawing.

We propose a novel approach to detect password reuse by leveraging gaze as well as typing behavior and study its accuracy. We collected gaze and typing behavior from 49 users while creating accounts for 1) a webmail client and 2) a news website. While most participants came up with a new password, 32% reported having reused an old password when setting up their accounts. We then compared different ML models to detect password reuse from the collected data. Our models achieve an accuracy of up to 87.7% in detecting password reuse from gaze, 75.8% accuracy from typing, and 88.75% when considering both types of behavior. We demonstrate that \revised{using gaze, password} reuse can already be detected during the registration process, before users entered their password. Our work paves the road for developing novel interventions to prevent password reuse.},

However, while previous work suggests that these countermeasures may profoundly impact biometric authentication, an investigation of the actual impact is still missing. Hence, in this work, we present our findings from an online survey (n=334) on experienced changes in device usage and failures of authentication. Our results show significant changes in personal and shared device usage, as well as a significant increase in experienced failures when comparing the present situation to before the Covid-19 pandemic. From our qualitative analysis of participants’ responses, we derive potential reasons for these changes in device usage and increases in authentication failures. Our findings suggest that making authentication contactless is only one of the aspects relevant to encounter the novel challenges caused by the pandemic.},

We propose CueVR, a cue-based authentication scheme that is resilient against observation attacks by design since vital cues are randomly generated and only visible to the user experiencing the VR environment. We investigate three different input modalities through an in-depth usability study (N=20) and show that while authentication using CueVR is slower than the less secure baseline, it is faster than existing observation resilient cue-based schemes and VR schemes (4.151 s – 7.025 s to enter a 4-digit PIN). Our results also indicate that using the controllers’ trackpad significantly outperforms input using mid-air gestures. We conclude by discussing how visual cues can enhance the security of VR authentication while maintaining high usability. Furthermore, we show how existing real-world authentication schemes combined with VR’s unique characteristics can advance future VR authentication procedures.},

In both scenarios, participants shoulder surfed private screens displaying different types of content. From the results we derive an understanding of factors influencing shoulder surfing behavior, reveal common attack patterns, and sketch a behavioral shoulder surfing model. Our work suggests directions for future research on shoulder surfing and can serve as a basis for creating novel approaches to mitigate shoulder surfing.},

Thus, it is essential to employ effective threat mitigation strategies, such as securely configuring devices. We investigate how users can be motivated to do so. To foster secure actions, we designed two types of nudges based on the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT): one with low and one with high level of detail. As such, our nudges particularly target users’ threat appraisal (including perceived severity and likelihood of threats) and self-efficacy to take action. In a randomized online experiment (N = 210), we simulated a smart home setup procedure. Participants chose significantly more secure configurations when being provided with detailed nudges, and indicated higher perceived threat and coping appraisal (i.e., higher protection motivation) after the experiment. Based on our results, we discuss the design and deployment of nudges for (future) smart home setup procedures. Our work can help to a) increase users’ threat awareness in general, and b) motivate users to take actions such as securely configuring their devices.},

abstract = {Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality, and Extended Reality (often – misleadingly – abbreviated as XR) are commonly used terms to describe how technologies generate or modify reality. However, academics and professionals have been inconsistent in their use of these terms. This has led to conceptual confusion and unclear demarcations. Inspired by prior research and qualitative insights from XR professionals, we discuss the meaning and definitions of various terms and organize them in our proposed framework. As a result, we conclude that (1) XR should not be used to connote extended reality, but as a more open approach where the X implies the unknown variable: xReality; (2) AR and VR have fundamental differences and thus should be treated as different experiences; (3) AR experiences can be described on a continuum ranging from assisted reality to mixed reality (based on the level of local presence); and (4), VR experiences can be conceptualized on a telepresence-continuum ranging from atomistic to holistic VR.},

News reports frequently bear witness to scams, hacked exchanges, and fortunes beyond retrieval. However, we lack a systematic understanding of user-centered cryptocurrency threats, as causes leading to loss are scattered across publications. To address this gap, we conducted a focus group (n=6) and an expert elicitation study (n=25) following a three-round Delphi process with a heterogeneous group of blockchain and security experts from academia and industry.We contribute the first systematic overview of threats cryptocurrency users are exposed to and propose six overarching categories. Our work is complemented by a discussion on how the human-computer-interaction community can address these threats and how practitioners can use the model to understand situations in which users might find themselves under the pressure of an attack to ultimately engineer more secure systems.},

Researchers can benefit from this approach by being able to recruit study populations normally out of their reach, and to conduct research at times when it is difficult to get people into the lab (cf. the COVID pandemic). In an initial online survey (N = 227), we assessed HMD owners’ demographics, their VR setups and their attitudes toward remote participation. We then identified different approaches to running remote studies and conducted two case studies for an in-depth understanding. We synthesize our findings into a framework for remote VR studies, discuss strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches, and derive best practices.

abstract = {Since the monitoring of environmental emissions is mostly in the hands of regulatory authorities, collected data may not be easily observed by the interested public. Centrally stored data may also tempt the authorities or others to manipulate the historical record for political or liability reasons. To enable timely, transparent and integrity-protected collection and presentation of emission data, we propose and implement Tremble, an emission monitoring system based on blockchain and IoT sensors. Tremble employs a hybrid storage approach to lower the cost of storage compared to using a pure blockchain without losing data integrity. It provides web interfaces and visualizations for end users to query emission values they are concerned about. Qualitative and quantitative studies involving a total of 62 subjects demonstrate the usability of the system.},

Our results suggest that bystanders have a limited understanding of how smart devices collect and store sensitive data about them. Misconceptions in bystanders' mental models result in missing awareness and ultimately limit their ability to protect their privacy.

We explore how engaging the stylus and multi-touch in concert can render such tasks easier. We introduce Bi-3D, an interaction concept where touch gestures are combined with 2D pen commands for 3D manipulation. For example, for a fast and intuitive 3D drag & drop technique: the pen drags the object on-screen, and parallel pinch-to-zoom moves it in the third dimension. In this paper, we describe the Bi-3D design space, crossing two-handed input and the degrees-of-freedom (DOF) of 3D manipulation and navigation tasks. We demonstrate sketching and manipulation tools in a prototype 3D design application, where users can fluidly combine 3D operations through alternating and parallel use of the modalities. We evaluate the core technique, bi-manual 3DOF input, against widget and mid-air baselines in an object movement task. We find that Bi-3D is a fast and practical way for multi-dimensional manipulation of graphical objects, promising to facilitate 3D design on stylus and tablet devices.},

Our research consists of multiple steps: (1) We identified features that hint at users’ intention to leave from observations and video logs. (2) We implemented a system capable of detecting such features from Microsoft Kinect’s skeleton data and subsequently make a prediction. (3) We trained and deployed a prediction system with a Quiz game that reacts when users are about to leave (N=249), achieving an accuracy of 78%. The majority of users indeed reacted to the presented intervention.},

However, investigating these attacks in the wild is difficult because of either privacy concerns, lack of consent, or the fact that asking for consent would influence people's behavior (e.g., they could try to avoid looking at smartphones). Thus, we propose utilizing 360-degree videos in Virtual Reality (VR), recorded in staged real-life situations on public transport. Despite differences between perceiving videos in VR and experiencing real-world situations, we believe this approach to allow novel insights on observers' tendency to shoulder surf another person's phone authentication and interaction to be gained. By conducting a study (N=16), we demonstrate that a better understanding of shoulder surfers' behavior can be obtained by analyzing gaze data during video watching and comparing it to post-hoc interview responses. On average, participants looked at the phone for about 11% of the time it was visible and could remember half of the applications used.},

To close this gap, we investigated, on one hand, users’ perspectives towards potential privacy and security risks as well as how they imagine usable authentication mechanisms in future smart homes. On the other hand, we considered security experts’ perspectives on authentication for smart homes. In particular, we conducted semi-structured interviews (N=20) with potential smart home users using the story completion method and a focus group with security experts (N=10). We found what kind of devices users would choose and why, potential challenges regarding privacy and security, and potential solutions. We discussed and verified these with security experts. We derive and reflect on a set of design implications for usable authentication mechanisms for smart homes and suggest directions for future research. Our work can assist designers and practitioners when implementing appropriate security mechanisms for smart homes.},

We then prototyped and evaluated onboarding task flows (n=16) for two mobile cryptocurrency apps using the minimalist instruction framework. Our results suggest that well-designed onboarding processes can improve the perceived usability of first-time users for feature-rich mobile apps. We discuss how the expectations users voiced during the interview study can be met by applying instructional design principles and reason that the minimalist instruction framework for mobile onboarding insights presents itself as a useful design method for practitioners to develop onboarding processes and also to identify when not to.},

We investigate how problems in understanding text – specifically a word or a sentence – while filling in questionnaires are reflected in gaze behaviour. To identify text comprehension problems, while filling a questionnaire, and their correlation with the gaze features, we collected data from 42 participant. In a follow-up study (N=30), we evoked comprehension problems and features they affect and quantified users’ gaze behaviour. Our findings implies that comprehension problems could be reflected in a set of gaze features, namely, in the number of fixations, duration of fixations, and number of regressions. Our findings not only demonstrate the potential of eye tracking for assessing reading comprehension but also pave the way for researchers and designers to build novel questionnaire tools that instantly mitigate problems in reading comprehension.},

To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, we present a proof of concept study (N = 15) in which we asked participants to create weak and strong passwords.

I will then discuss how the current situation influences research requiring close work with human subjects in lab settings and outline approaches to address emerging issues. Finally, I will provide some examples of out-of-the-lab research and reflect on both challenges and opportunities of these approaches.},

Behavioral biometrics have recently been investigated as a means to continuously and implicitly identify users in VR. VR applications can specifically benefit from this, for example, to adapt the environment and user interface as well as to authenticate users. In this work, we conduct a lab study (N=16) to explore how accurately users can be identified during two task-driven scenarios based on their spatial movement. We show that an identification accuracy of up to 90% is possible across sessions recorded on different days. oreover, we investigate the role of users' physiology on behavioral biometrics. In particular, we virtually alter and normalize users' body proportions to examine the influence on behavior. We find that body normalization in general increases the identification rate, in some cases by up to 38%, hence it improves the performance of identification systems.},

In this paper we present ARtention, a design space for gaze interaction specifically tailored for in-situ AR information interfaces. It highlights three important dimensions to consider in the UI design of such gaze-enabled applications: transitions from reality to the virtual interface, from single- to multi-layer content, and from information consumption to selection tasks. Such transitional aspects bring previously isolated gaze interaction concepts together to form a unified AR space, enabling more advanced application control seamlessly mediated by gaze. We describe these factors in detail. To illustrate how the design space can be used, we present three prototype applications and report informal user feedback obtained from different scenarios: a conversational UI, viewing a 3D visualization, and browsing items for shopping. We conclude with design considerations derived from our development and evaluation of the prototypes. We expect these to be valuable for researchers and designers investigating the use of gaze input in AR systems and applications.},

Visitors often cannot protect their privacy in a foreign smart environment. This might be rooted in a poor awareness of privacy violations by IoT devices, a lack of knowledge, or a lack of coping strategies. Thus, visitors are typically unaware of being tracked by IoT devices or lack means to influence which data is collected about them.
We interviewed 21 young adults to investigate which knowledge visitors of smart environments need and wish to be able and protect their privacy.
We found that visitors consider their relation to the IoT device owner and familiarity with the environment and IoT devices when making decisions about data sharing that affect their privacy. Overall, the visitors of smart environments demonstrated similar privacy preferences like the owners of IoT devices but lacked means to judge consequences of data collection and means to express their privacy preferences.
Based on our results, we discuss prerequisites for enabling visitor privacy in smart environments, demonstrate gaps in existing solutions and provide several methods to improve the awareness of smart environment visitors.},

Anxiety (MPA). Our work is motivated by the ability of Virtual Reality (VR) to create
environments closely resembling the real world. For musicians, settings such as auditions

which evoke stress as a result of stage fright. Current approaches are limited: while
they provide a virtual scene, realistic haptic feedback (i.e. playing on a real piano)
and an authentic representation of their hands is missing. We close this gap with
the design of a Mixed Reality platform, consisting of a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) stage piano and an HTC Vive Pro VR headset. The platform offers (a) two
approaches to finger tracking and visualization – a virtual representation based on
LeapMotion hand tracking (baseline) and a real representation using see-through VR;
in addition, it provides (b) three different settings in which users can practice
(home, audition, concert hall) and (c) a mechanism for real time feedback. We created
a series of videos demonstrating the system and collected feedback from 23 participants
in an online study, assessing their views towards our platform. Results reveal key
insights for the design of virtual MPA training platforms from a scientific and consumer
perspective.},

We present two studies, investigating performance in terms of efficiency and usability: the first study (N=16) compares TangibleSphere to a physical spherical display regarding accuracy and task completion time. We found comparable results for both types of displays. The second study (N=32) investigates the influence of physical rotation in more depth. We compare a pure VR condition to TangibleSphere in two conditions: one that allows actual physical rotation of the object and one that does not. Our findings show that physical rotation significantly improves accuracy and task completion time. These insights are valuable for researchers designing interaction techniques and interactive visualizations for spherical displays and for VR researchers aiming to incorporate physical touch into the experiences they design.},

The underlying technology, Blockchain, shifts the responsibility for securing assets to the end-user and requires them to manage their (private) keys. Little attention has been given to how cryptocurrency users handle the challenges of key management in practice and how they select the tools to do so. To close this gap, we conducted semi-structured interviews (N=10). Our thematic analysis revealed prominent themes surrounding motivation, risk assessment, and coin management tool usage in practice. We found that the choice of tools is driven by how users assess and balance the key risks that can lead to loss: the risk of (1) human error, (2) betrayal, and (3) malicious attacks. We derive a model, explaining how risk assessment and intended usage drive the decision which tools to use. Our work is complemented by discussing design implications for building systems for the crypto economy.},

abstract = {Knowledge about the expected interaction duration and expected distance from which users will interact with public displays can be useful in many ways. For example, knowing upfront that a certain setup will lead to shorter interactions can nudge space owners to alter the setup. If a system can predict that incoming users will interact at a long distance for a short amount of time, it can accordingly show shorter versions of content (e.g., videos/advertisements) and employ at-a-distance interaction modalities (e.g., mid-air gestures). In this work, we propose a method to build models for predicting users’ interaction duration and distance in public display environments, focusing on mid-air gestural interactive displays. First, we report our findings from a field study showing that multiple variables, such as audience size and behaviour, significantly influence interaction duration and distance. We then train predictor models using contextual data, based on the same variables. By applying our method to a mid-air gestural interactive public display deployment, we build a model that predicts interaction duration with an average error of about 8 s, and interaction distance with an average error of about 35 cm. We discuss how researchers and practitioners can use our work to build their own predictor models, and how they can use them to optimise their deployment.},

conversations. In this scenario, users can obtain information that supports the conversation,
without augmentations distracting the actual conversation.We propose using gaze that
allows users to gradually reveal information on demand. Information is indicated around
user’s head, which becomes fully visible when other’s visual attention explicitly
falls upon the area. We describe the design of such an AR UI and present an evaluation
of the feasibility of the concept. Results show that despite gaze inaccuracies, users
were positive about augmenting their conversations with contextual information and
gaze interactivity. We provide insights into the trade-offs between focusing on the
task at hand (i.e., the conversation), and consuming AR information. These findings
are useful for future use cases of eye based AR interactions by contributing to a
better understanding of the intricate balance between informative AR and information
overload.},

Emotions are usually assessed through surveys that do not allow information to be collected in real-time. In our work, we suggest the use of smartphones for mobile emotion assessment. We use the front-facing smartphone camera as a tool for emotion detection based on facial expressions. Such information can be used to reflect on emotional states or provide emotion-aware user interface adaptation. We collected facial expressions along with app usage data in a two-week field study consisting of a one-week training phase and a one-week testing phase. We built and evaluated a person-dependent classifier, yielding an average classification improvement of 33% compared to classifying facial expressions only. Furthermore, we correlate the estimated emotions with concurrent app usage to draw insights into changes in mood. Our work is complemented by a discussion of the feasibility of probing emotions on-the-go and potential use cases for future emotion-aware applications.},

Such knowledge is valuable for researchers and practitioners to inform the design of future smart home devices and features, in particular with regards to interaction techniques, privacy mechanisms, and, ultimately, acceptance and uptake. We found that users would appreciate smart features for various use cases, including remote control and multi-tasking, and are willing to share devices.

We present a user study (N=16) where we explore how, the novel concepts called GazeButton can improve text selection by comparing it to touch based selection. In addition, we tested the effect of text size on the selection techniques by comparing two different text sizes.Results show that gaze based selection was faster with bigger text size, although not statistically significant. Qualitative feedback show a preference on gaze over touch which motivates a new direction of gaze usage in text editors.},

At the same time, the increasing number of smart devices that are becoming part of our everyday life creates new challenges for authentication, in particular since many of those devices are not designed and developed with authentication in mind. Examples include but are not limited to wearables, AR and VR glasses, devices in smart homes, and public displays. The goal of this workshop is to develop a common understanding of challenges and opportunities smart devices and environments create for secure and usable authentication. Therefore, we will bring together researchers and practitioners from HCI, usable security, and specific application areas (e.g., smart homes, wearables) to develop a research agenda for future approaches to authentication.},

Complementing this, a study where participants used the hat tracker prototype in public locations provides insights on sharing in everyday life use contexts. We report that users appreciate the motivating nature of such displays, but favor the display of positive information. Leveraging prior work, we present a model describing the factors affecting users’ willingness to share tracked data via wearable displays, and highlight such displays’ potential for supporting behavior change.},

We assess three techniques for menu selection: dwell time, gaze button, and cursor. Each represents a different multimodal balance between gaze and manual input. We present a user study that compares the techniques against two manual baselines (dunk brush, pointer) in a compound colour selection and line drawing task. We show that user performance with the gaze techniques is comparable to pointer-based menu selection, with less physical effort. Furthermore, we provide an analysis of the trade-off as each technique strives for a unique balance between temporal, manual, and visual interaction properties. Our research points to new opportunities for integrating multimodal gaze in menus and bimanual interfaces in 3D environments.},

To better understand situationswhere ubiquitous technologies could help secure personal items,we conducted an online survey (N=101) in which we collected real-world stories from users reporting on personal items, either at riskof, or actually being lost, damaged or stolen. We found that themajority of cases occurred in (semi-)public spaces during afternoonand evening times, when users left their items. From these results,we derived a model of incidents involving personal items in publicspace as well as a set of properties to describe situations wherepersonal items may be at risk. We discuss reoccurring properties ofthe scenarios, potential multimedia-based protection mechanismsfor securing personal items in public space as well as future researchsuggestions},

In particular, we investigate the influence of external car displays (ECDs) on pedestrians' crossing behavior, and the time needed to make a crossing decision. We present a study in a high-immersion VR environment comparing three alternative car-situated visualizations: a smiling grille, a traffic light style indicator, and a gesturing robotic driver. Crossing at non-designated crossing points on a straight road and at a junction, where vehicles turn towards the pedestrian, are explored. We report that ECDs significantly reduce pedestrians' decision time, and argue that ECDs support comfort, trust and acceptance in automated vehicles. We believe ECDs might become a valuable addition for future vehicles.},

Motivated by the trend of self-tracking, one crucial question within this eld is how or whether detected states should be displayed. In this work we investigate the impact of demographics and personality traits on the user experience of driver state visualizations. 328 participants experienced three concepts visualizing their current state in a publicly installed driving simulator. Driver age, experience, and personality traits were shown to have impact on visualization preferences. While a continuous display was generally preferred, older respondents and drivers with little experience favored a system with less visual elements. Extroverted participants were more open towards interventions. Our findings lead us to believe that, while users are generally open to driver state detection, its visualization should be adapted to age, driving experience, and personality. This work is meant to support professionals and researchers designing affective in-car information systems.},

We detect arousal and valence of emotional responses from wearable bio-electric sensors, namely brain-computer interfaces and heart rate sensors. We evaluated our concept in a static driving simulator with a fully equipped car with 12 participants. Before the rides, we elicit negative emotions and evaluate driving performance and physiological data while driving under stressful conditions. We use three ambient lighting conditions (no light, blue, orange). Using a subject-dependent random forests classier with 40 features collected from physiological data we achieve an average accuracy of 78.9\% for classifying valence and 68.7\% for arousal. Driving performance was enhanced in conditions where ambient lighting was introduced. Both
blue and orange light helped drivers to improve lane keeping. We discuss insights from our study and provide design recommendations for designing emotion sensing and feedback systems in the car.},

The advantages are: 1) easy to integrate in existing UIs, 2) complementary, as users choose either gaze or manual interaction, 3) straightforward, as all features are located in one button, and 4) one button to interact with the whole screen. We explore GazeButtons for a custom-made text reading, writing, and editing tool on a multitouch tablet device. For example, this allows the text cursor position to be set as users look at the position and tap on the GazeButton, avoiding costly physical movement. Or, users can simply gaze over a part of the text that should be selected, while holding the GazeButton. We present a design space, specific application examples, and point to future button designs that become highly expressive by unifying the user's visual and manual input.},

We first describe the theoretical background on establishing a calibration mapping and discuss differences of calibration methods used. We then present a user study comparing the new regression based method with a classical nine-point and with other pursuit based calibrations. The results show the proposed method is fully functional, quick, and enables accurate tracking of a large area.

note = {kattenbeck2019ajim},
abstract = {Purpose
Performing tasks in public spaces can be demanding due to task complexity. Systems that can keep track of the current task state may help their users to successfully fulfill a task. These systems, however, require major implementation effort. The purpose of this paper is to investigate if and how a mobile information assistant which has only basic task-tracking capabilities can support users by employing a least effort approach. This means, we are interested in whether such a system is able to have an impact on the way a workflow in public space is perceived.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors implement and test AIRBOT, a mobile chatbot application that can assist air passengers in successfully boarding a plane. The authors apply a three-tier approach and, first, conduct expert and passenger interviews to understand the workflow and the information needs occurring therein; second, the authors implement a mobile chatbot application providing minimum task-tracking capabilities to support travelers by providing boarding-relevant information in a proactive manner. Finally, the authors evaluate this application by means of an in situ study (n = 101 passengers) at a major European airport.
Findings
The authors provide evidence that basic task-tracking capabilities are sufficient to affect the users? task perception. AIRBOT is able to decrease the perceived workload airport services impose on users. It has a negative impact on satisfaction with non-personalized information offered by the airport, though.
Originality/value
The study shows that the number of features is not the most important means to successfully provide assistance in public space workflows. The study can, moreover, serve as a blueprint to design task-based assistants for other contexts.},

Recent advances in affective computing, however, allow for the detection of such states and give us tools to tackle the connected problems within automotive user interfaces. We see potential in building a system which reacts upon possibly dangerous driver states and influences the driver in order to drive more safely. We compare different interaction approaches for an affective automotive interface, namely Ambient Light, Visual Notification, a Voice Assistant, and an Empathic Assistant. Results of a simulator study with 60 participants (30 each with induced sadness/anger) indicate that an emotional voice assistant with the ability to empathize with the user is the most promising approach as it improves negative states best and is rated most positively. Qualitative data also shows that users prefer an empathic assistant but also resent potential paternalism. This leads us to suggest that digital assistants are a valuable platform to improve driver emotions in automotive environments and thereby enable safer driving.},

In particular, we look into how drivers would personalize such displays and whether it can be considered safe. Firstly, by means of an online survey we identify types of content users access on their smartphones while driving and whether users are interested in the same content on a head-up display. Secondly, we let drivers design personalized 3D layouts and assess how personalization impacts on driving safety. Thirdly, we compare personalized layouts to a one-fits-all layout concept in a 3D driving simulator study regarding safety. We found that drivers' content preferences diverge largely and that most of the personalized layouts do not respect safety sufficiently. The one-fits-all layout led to a better response performance but needs to be modified to consider the drivers' preferences. We discuss the implications of the presented research on road safety and future 3D information placement on head-up displays.},

abstract = {In this paper we investigate how natural language interfaces can be integrated with cars in a way such that their influence on driving performance is being minimized. In particular, we focus on how speech-based interaction can be supported through a visualization of the conversation. Our work is motivated by the fact that speech interfaces (like Alexa, Siri, Cortana, etc.) are increasingly finding their way into our everyday life. We expect such interfaces to become commonplace in vehicles in the future. Cars are a challenging environment, since speech interaction here is a secondary task that should not negatively affect the primary task, that is driving. At the outset of our work, we identify the design space for such interfaces. We then compare different visualization concepts in a driving simulator study with 64 participants. Our results yield that (1) text summaries support drivers in recalling information and enhances user experience but can also increase distraction, (2) the use of keywords minimizes cognitive load and influence on driving performance, and (3) the use of icons increases the attractiveness of the interface.},

We address this problem by augmenting text messaging with information about users and contexts. We present and reflect on lessons learned from three field studies, in which we deployed augmentation concepts as prototype chat apps in users’ daily lives. We studied (1) subtly conveying context via dynamic font personalisation (TapScript), (2) integrating and sharing physiological data – namely heart rate – implicitly or explicitly (HeartChat) and (3) automatic annotation of various context cues: music, distance, weather and activities (ContextChat). Based on our studies, we discuss chat augmentation with respect to privacy concerns, understandability, connectedness and inferring context in addition to methodological lessons learned. Finally, we propose a design space for chat augmentation to guide future research, and conclude with practical design implications.},

In particular, we asked potential early adopters to remember a situation where they felt either an intense positive or negative emotion while driving. Our research is motivated by imminent disruptions in the automotive sector due to automated driving and the accompanying switch to selling driving experiences over horsepower. This creates a need to focus on the driver’s emotion when designing in-car interfaces. As a result of our research, we present a set of propositions for affective car interfaces based on real-life experiences. With our work we aim to support the design of affective car interfaces and give designers a foundation to build upon. We find respondents often connect positive emotions with enjoying their independence, while negative experiences are associated mostly with traffic behavior. Participants who experienced negative situations wished for better information management and a higher degree of automation. Drivers with positive emotions generally wanted to experience the situation more genuinely, for example, by switching to a “back-to-basic” mode. We explore these statements and discuss recommendations for the design of affective interfaces in future cars.},

Modern in-car interfaces are growing in complexity and visual demand, yet they need to stay simple enough to handle while driving. One common approach to solve this problem are multimodal interfaces, incorporating e.g. touch, speech, and mid-air gestures for the control of distinct features. This allows for an optimization of used cognitive resources and can relieve the driver of potential overload. We introduce a novel modality for in-car interaction: our system allows drivers to use facial expressions to control a music player. The results of a user study show that both implicit emotion recognition and explicit facial expressions are applicable for music control in cars. Subconscious emotion recognition could decrease distraction, while explicit expressions can be used as an alternative input modality. A simple smiling gesture showed good potential, e.g. to save favorite songs.},

For example UI designers may want to minimize distraction caused by the stimulus, integrate it with a certain UI element (e.g., a button), or limit it to a certain area of the screen. In these cases an in-depth understanding of the interplay between speed, trajectory, and accuracy is required. To achieve this, we conducted a user study with 15 participants who had to follow targets with different speeds and on different trajectories using their gaze. We evaluated the data with respect to detectability. As a result, we obtained reasonable ranges for target speeds and demonstrate the effects of trajectory shapes. We show that slow moving targets are hard to detect by correlation and that introducing a delay improves the detection rate for fast moving targets. Our research is complemented by design rules which enable designers to implement better pursuit detectors and pursuit-based user interfaces.},

In a Wizard-of-Oz study, we investigate three different authentication schemes, namely (1) key, (2) palm vein scanner and (3) gait-based authentication (compare Fig. 1). Most participants in our study (N=15) preferred the palm vein scanner, while ranking unlocking with a key and gait-based recognition second and third. Our results propose that recovery costs for a failed authentication attempt have an impact on user perception. Furthermore, while the participants appreciated seamless authentication via biometrics, they also valued the control they gain from the possession of a physical token.},

We believe that user representations, particularly personalized avatars, could further increase the attractiveness of public displays, if carefully designed. In this work, we provide first insights on how such avatars can be designed and which properties are important for users. In particular, we present AVotar, a voting application for mobiles that lets users design avatars being utilized to represent them. In an user study we found that users appreciate high degrees of freedom in customization and focus on expressive facial features.

abstract = {Secure authentication on situated displays (e.g., to access sensitive information or to make purchases) is becoming increasingly important. A promising approach to resist shoulder surfing attacks is to employ cues that users respond to while authenticating; this overwhelms observers by requiring them to observe both the cue itself as well as users' response to the cue. Although previous work proposed a variety of modalities, such as gaze and mid-air gestures, to further improve security, an understanding of how they compare with regard to usability and security is still missing as of today. In this paper, we rigorously compare modalities for cue-based authentication on situated displays. In particular, we provide the first comparison between touch, mid-air gestures, and calibration-free gaze using a state-of-the-art authentication concept. In two in-depth user studies (N=20, N=17) we found that the choice of touch or gaze presents a clear tradeoff between usability and security. For example, while gaze input is more secure, it is also more demanding and requires longer authentication times. Mid-air gestures are slightly slower and more secure than touch but users hesitate to use them in public. We conclude with three significant design implications for authentication using touch, mid-air gestures, and gaze and discuss how the choice of modality creates opportunities and challenges for improved authentication in public.},

This work provides the first holistic view on the past, present, and future of eye tracking on handheld mobile devices. To this end, we discuss how research developed from building hardware prototypes, to accurate gaze estimation on unmodified smartphones and tablets. We then discuss implications by laying out 1) novel opportunities, including pervasive advertising and conducting in-the-wild eye tracking studies on handhelds, and 2) new challenges that require further research, such as visibility of the user's eyes, lighting conditions, and privacy implications. We discuss how these developments shape MobileHCI research in the future, possibly the next 20 years.},

In this work, we investigate how well users can select targets using Pursuits in cases where the target's trajectory is partially invisible (HiddenPursuits): e.g., can users select a moving target that temporarily hides behind another object? Although HiddenPursuits was not studied in the context of interaction before, understanding how well users can perform HiddenPursuits presents numerous opportunities, particularly for small interfaces where a target's trajectory can cover area outside of the screen. We found that users can still select targets quickly via Pursuits even if their trajectory is up to 50% hidden, and at the expense of longer selection times when the hidden portion is larger. We discuss how gaze-based interfaces can leverage HiddenPursuits for an improved user experience.},

We report on the design and implementation of the approach and present findings from an evaluation of the system in a lab study (N=44), focusing on learning performance, accuracy, and errors.

At the same time, eye tracking is becoming increasingly popular for VR applications. While Pursuits was shown to be effective in several interaction contexts, it was never explored in-depth for VR before. In a user study (N=26), we investigated how parameters that are specific to VR settings influence the performance of Pursuits. For example, we found that Pursuits is robust against different sizes of virtual 3D targets. However performance improves when the trajectory size (e.g., radius) is larger, particularly if the user is walking while interacting. While walking, selecting moving targets via Pursuits is generally feasible albeit less accurate than when stationary. Finally, we discuss the implications of these findings and the potential of smooth pursuits for interaction in VR by demonstrating two sample use cases: 1) gaze-based authentication in VR, and 2) a space meteors shooting game.},

Existing approaches such as questionnaires or pupil dilation measurements either only allow for subjective assessments or are susceptible to environmental influences and user physiology. We address these challenges by exploiting the fact that cognitive workload influences smooth pursuit eye movements. We compared three trajectories and two speeds under different levels of cognitive workload within a user study (N=20). We found higher deviations of gaze points during smooth pursuit eye movements for specific trajectory types at higher cognitive workload levels. Using an SVM classifier, we predict cognitive workload through smooth pursuit with an accuracy of 99.5% for distinguishing between low and high workload as well as an accuracy of 88.1% for estimating workload between three levels of difficulty. We discuss implications and present use cases of how cognition-aware systems benefit from inferring cognitive workload in real-time by smooth pursuit eye movements.},

However, it is unknown how often users hold devices in a way that allows capturing their face or eyes, and how this impacts detection accuracy. We collected 25,726 in-the-wild photos, taken from the front-facing camera of smartphones as well as associated application usage logs. We found that the full face is visible about 29% of the time, and that in most cases the face is only partially visible. Furthermore, we identified an influence of users' current activity; for example, when watching videos, the eyes but not the entire face are visible 75% of the time in our dataset. We found that a state-of-the-art face detection algorithm performs poorly against photos taken from front-facing cameras. We discuss how these findings impact mobile applications that leverage face and eye detection, and derive practical implications to address state-of-the art's limitations.},

The results of this first deployment show that displaying personal content on public displays is not only feasible but also valued by users. Participants quickly settled for privacy settings that work for all kinds of content. While they liked the system, they did not want to spend time configuring it.},

abstract = {The parallax effect describes the displacement between the perceived and detected touch locations on a touch-enabled surface. Parallax is a key usability challenge for interactive displays, particularly for those that require thick layers of glass between the screen and the touch surface to protect them from vandalism. To address this challenge, we present EyePACT, a method that compensates for input error caused by parallax on public displays. Our method uses a display-mounted depth camera to detect the user's 3D eye position in front of the display and the detected touch location to predict the perceived touch location on the surface. We evaluate our method in two user studies in terms of parallax correction performance as well as multi-user support. Our evaluations demonstrate that EyePACT (1) significantly improves accuracy even with varying gap distances between the touch surface and the display, (2) adapts to different levels of parallax by resulting in significantly larger corrections with larger gap distances, and (3) maintains a significantly large distance between two users' fingers when interacting with the same object. These findings are promising for the development of future parallax-free interactive displays.},

We evaluated the techniques in a novel user study (N=20), where we considered dynamic scenarios where the user approaches the display, completes the task, and leaves. We show that all pocket transfer techniques are fast and seen as highly convenient. Mid-air gestures are the most efficient touchless method for transferring a single item, while the multimodal method is the fastest touchless method when multiple items are transferred.

abstract = {Users often need to authenticate at situated displays in order to, for example, make purchases, access sensitive information, or confirm an identity. However, the exposure of interactions in public spaces introduces a large attack surface (e.g., observation, smudge or thermal attacks). A plethora of authentication models and input modalities that aim at disguising users' input has been presented in the past. However, a comprehensive analysis on the requirements for secure and usable authentication on public displays is still missing. This work presents 13 design considerations suitable to inform practitioners and researchers during the development process of authentication systems for situated displays in public spaces. It draws on a comprehensive analysis of prior literature and subsequent discussion with five experts in the fields of pervasive displays, human-computer-interaction and usable security.},

abstract = {Many of the authentication schemes for mobile devices that were proposed lately complicate shoulder surfing by splitting the attacker's attention into two or more entities. For example, multimodal authentication schemes such as GazeTouchPIN and GazeTouchPass require attackers to observe the user's gaze input and the touch input performed on the phone's screen. These schemes have always been evaluated against single observers, while multiple observers could potentially attack these schemes with greater ease, since each of them can focus exclusively on one part of the password. In this work, we study the effectiveness of a novel threat model against authentication schemes that split the attacker's attention. As a case study, we report on a security evaluation of two state of the art authentication schemes in the case of a team of two observers. Our results show that although multiple observers perform better against these schemes than single observers, multimodal schemes are significantly more secure against multiple observers compared to schemes that employ a single modality. We discuss how this threat model impacts the design of authentication schemes.},

We introduce BrainAtWork, a workplace engagement and task logger which shows users their cognitive state while working on different tasks. In a lab study with eleven participants working on their own real-world tasks, we gathered 16 hours of EEG and PC logs which were labeled into three classes: central, peripheral and meta work. We evaluated the usability of BrainAtWork via questionnaires and interviews. We investigated the correlations between measured cognitive engagement from EEG and subjective responses from experience sampling probes. Using random forests classification, we show the feasibility of automatically labeling work tasks into work classes.

As a result, research is often constrained to a single installation within a particular context, neither accounting for a diverse audience (children, shoppers, commuters) nor for different situations (waiting vs. passing by) or times of the day. As displays become networked, one way to address this challenge is through surveys on displays, where audience feedback is collected insitu. Since current tools do not appropriately address the requirements of a display network, we implemented a tool for use on public displays and report on its design and development. Our research is complemented by two in-the-wild deployments that (a) investigate di erent channels for feedback collection, (b) showcase how the work of researchers is supported, and (c) testify that the platform can easily be extended with novel features.},

We propose GazeTouchPIN, a novel secure authentication scheme for mobile devices that combines gaze and touch input. Our multimodal approach complicates shoulder-surfing attacks by requiring attackers to ob-serve the screen as well as the user’s eyes to and the password. We evaluate the security and usability of GazeTouchPIN in two user studies (N=30). We found that while GazeTouchPIN requires longer entry times, privacy aware users would use it on-demand when feeling observed or when accessing sensitive data. The results show that successful shoulder surfing attack rate drops from 68% to 10.4%when using GazeTouchPIN.},

This research is motivated by the fact that user representations have been shown to be very efficient in playful applications that support mid-air interaction. At the same time, little is known about the effects of applying this approach to settings with a different primary mode of interaction, e.g. touch. It is also unclear how the playfulness of user representations influences the interest of users in the displayed information. To close this gap, we combine a touch display with screens showing life-sized video representations of passers-by. In a deployment, we compare different spatial arrangements to understand how passers-by are attracted and enticed to interact, how they explore the application, and how they socially behave. Findings reveal that (a) opposing displays foster interaction, but (b) may also reduce interaction at the main display; (c) a large intersection between focus and nimbus helps to notice interactivity; (d) using playful elements at information displays is not counterproductive; (e) mixed interaction modalities are hard to understand.},

However, their use in stylus input is yet unexplored. This paper presents the first empirical study and analyses of such models for tapping with a stylus. In a user study (N = 28), we collected targeting data on a smartphone, both for stationary use (sitting) and walking. We compare targeting patterns between index finger input and three stylus variations -- two stylus widths and nib types as well as the addition of a hover cursor. Our analyses reveal that stylus targeting patterns are user-specific, and that offset models improve stylus tapping accuracy, but less so than for finger touch. Input method has a stronger influence on targeting patterns than mobility, and stylus width is more influential than the hover cursor. Stylus models improve finger accuracy as well, but not vice versa. The extent of the stylus accuracy advantage compared to the finger depends on screen location and mobility. We also discuss patterns related to mobility and gliding of the stylus on the screen. We conclude with implications for target sizes and offset model applications.},

At the outset of our work we conducted a survey (N=411) to assess viewers' activities while watching TV. Based on the findings we implemented a Kinect-based system to detect these activities and connected it with a playful second screen app. We then conducted a field evaluation (N=20) where we compared (a) four hints to direct users' attention to the second screen app and (b) four types of second screen content requiring different levels of engagement.

In this work we investigate in details the viability of exploiting thermal imaging to infer PINs and patterns on mobile devices. We present a study (N=18) where we evaluated how properties of PINs and patterns influence their thermal attacks resistance. We found that thermal attacks are indeed viable on mobile devices; overlapping patterns significantly decrease successful thermal attack rate from 100% to 16.67%, while PINs remain vulnerable (>72% success rate) even with duplicate digits. We conclude by recommendations for users and designers of authentication schemes on how to resist thermal attacks.},

We present the results of a user survey (N=174) in which we investigate actual stories about shoulder surfing on mobile devices from both users and observers. Our analysis indicates that shoulder surfing mainly occurs in an opportunistic, non-malicious way. It usually does not have serious consequences, but evokes negative feelings for both parties, resulting in a variety of coping strategies. Observed data was personal in most cases and ranged from information about interests and hobbies to login data and intimate details about third persons and relationships. Thus, our work contributes evidence for shoulder surfing in the real world and informs implications for the design of privacy protection mechanisms.},

Through evaluation during an HCI conference (Naudience=11, Npresenters=3) we found that EngageMeter provides value to presenters (a) in real-time, since it allows reacting to current engagement scores by changing tone or adding pauses, and (b) in post-hoc, since presenters can adjust their slides and embed extra elements. We discuss how EngageMeter can be used in collocated and distributed audience sensing as well as how it can aid presenters in long term use.},

To realize our concept we chose four emotional states: amused, sad, angry, and neutral. We designed EmotionActuator through a series of studies to assess emotional classification via EEG, and create an EMS gesture set by comparing composed gestures from the literature to sign-language gestures. Through a final study with the end-to-end prototype interviews revealed that participants like implicit sharing of emotions and find the embodied output to be immersive, but want to have control over shared emotions and with whom. This work contributes a proof of concept system and set of design recommendations for designing embodied emotional feedback systems.},

ProbUI replaces today's static target models (bounding boxes) with probabilistic gestures ("bounding behaviours"). It is the first touch GUI framework to unite concepts from three areas of related work: 1) Developers declaratively define touch behaviours for GUI targets. As a key insight, the declarations imply simple probabilistic models (HMMs with 2D Gaussian emissions). 2) ProbUI derives these models automatically to evaluate users' touch sequences. 3) It then infers intended behaviour and target. Developers bind callbacks to gesture progress, completion, and other conditions. We show ProbUI's value by implementing existing and novel widgets, and report developer feedback from a survey and a lab study.},

abstract = {As public displays continue to deliver increasingly private and personalized content, there is a need to ensure that only the legitimate users can access private information in sensitive contexts. While public displays can adopt similar authentication concepts like those used on public terminals (e.g., ATMs), authentication in public is subject to a number of risks. Namely, adversaries can uncover a user's password through (1) shoulder surfing, (2) thermal attacks, or (3) smudge attacks. To address this problem we propose GTmoPass, an authentication architecture that enables Multi-factor user authentication on public displays. The first factor is a knowledge-factor: we employ a shoulder-surfing resilient multimodal scheme that combines gaze and touch input for password entry. The second factor is a possession-factor: users utilize their personal mobile devices, on which they enter the password. Credentials are securely transmitted to a server via Bluetooth beacons. We describe the implementation of GTmoPass and report on an evaluation of its usability and security, which shows that although authentication using GTmoPass is slightly slower than traditional methods, it protects against the three aforementioned threats.},

Prior work has shown that ebooks can partially address this challenge by making reading more compelling for children. In this work we show that augmenting ebooks with tangible elements can further increase the reading motivation. In particular, we embed tangible elements that allow for navigating through the book as well as in the form of mini-games that interlace the reading task. We report on the results of an evaluation among 22 primary school pupils, comparing the influence of the approach on both strong and weak readers. Our results show a positive influence beyond reading motivation on both weak and strong readers.

Namely, public display users interact for very short amounts of times and are believed to abandon the display when interrupted or forced to deviate from the main task. To date, it is not well understood whether public display designers should enable users to correct errors (e.g. by asking users to confirm or giving them a chance correct their input), or aim for faster interaction and rely on other types of feedback to estimate errors. To close this gap, we conducted a field study where we investigated the users willingness to correct their input on public displays. We report on our findings from an in-the-wild deployment of a public gaze-based voting system where we intentionally evoked system errors to see if users correct them. We found that public display users are willing to correct system errors provided that the correction is fast and straightforward. We discuss how our findings influence the choice of interaction methods for public displays; interaction methods that are highly usable but suffer from low accuracy can still be effective if users can "undo" their interactions.},

Saliency masks were shown to significantly improve password security by excluding those areas of the image that are most likely to lead to hotspots. In this paper we investigate the impact of such saliency masks on the memorability of cued-recall graphical passwords. We first conduct two pre-studies (N=52) to obtain a set of images with three different image complexities as well as real passwords. A month-long user study (N=26) revealed that there is a strong learning effect for graphical passwords, in particular if defined on images with a saliency mask. While for complex images, the learning curve is steeper than for less complex ones, they best supported memorability in the long term, most likely because they provided users more alternatives to select memorable password points. These results complement prior work on the security of such passwords and underline the potential of saliency masks as both a secure and usable improvement to cued-recall gaze-based graphical passwords.},

At the same time, prototyping these UIs is challenging, as with traditional techniques, UI elements cannot easily be rendered and positioned in 3D space. In contrast to professional 3D authoring tools, we present a tool targeted towards non-experts to quickly and easily sketch a S3D UI and instantly render it on a 3D display.

Our metric is the first of its kind to reflect that users choose patterns based on human intuition and interest in geometric properties of the resulting shapes. Applying our metric to a dataset of 506 user-defined patterns reveals very similar shapes that only differ by simple geometric transformations such as rotation. This shrinks the effective password space by 66% and allows informed guessing attacks. Consequently, we present an approach to subtly nudge users to create more diverse patterns by showing background images and animations during pattern creation. Results from a user study (n = 496) show that applying such countermeasures can significantly increase pattern diversity. We conclude with implications for pattern choices and the design of enrollment processes.},

abstract = {We present CoastMaster, a smartphone application that serves as an ambient speedometer and driving game display. Our work is motivated by the need to re-engage drivers in the driving task, e.g., in situations where manoeuvering the vehicle is straightforward and does not require high levels of engagement. CoastMaster supports drivers during speed limit changes by (a) re-engaging them in the driving task, and; (b) providing feedback on driving behaviour. In a simulator study (N=24), we compare a gamified and a non-gamified interface with regards to user experience, driving performance, and visual distraction. Our results indicate an increase in hedonic quality and driver engagement as well as a decrease in speed violations through the gamified condition. At the same time, the gamified version leads to longer glances towards the display suggesting visual distraction. Our study findings inform specific design recommendations for ambient interfaces and gamified driving.},

abstract = {While gaze holds a lot of promise for hands-free interaction with public displays, remote eye trackers with their confined tracking box restrict users to a single stationary position in front of the display. We present EyeScout, an active eye tracking system that combines an eye tracker mounted on a rail system with a computational method to automatically detect and align the tracker with the user's lateral movement. EyeScout addresses key limitations of current gaze-enabled large public displays by offering two novel gaze-interaction modes for a single user: In "Walk then Interact" the user can walk up to an arbitrary position in front of the display and interact, while in "Walk and Interact" the user can interact even while on the move. We report on a user study that shows that EyeScout is well perceived by users, extends a public display's sweet spot into a sweet line, and reduces gaze interaction kick-off time to 3.5 seconds -- a 62% improvement over state of the art solutions. We discuss sample applications that demonstrate how EyeScout can enable position and movement-independent gaze interaction with large public displays.},

Our research is motivated by the fact that much of the content on public displays includes text. Hence, researchers and practitioners could greatly benefit from users being able to spontaneously interact as well as to implicitly calibrate an eye tracker while simply reading this text. In particular, we adapt Pursuits, a technique that correlates users' eye movements with moving on-screen targets. While prior work used abstract objects or dots as targets, we explore the use of Pursuits with text (read-and-pursue). Thereby we address the challenge that eye movements performed while reading interfere with the pursuit movements. Results from two user studies (N=37) show that Pursuits with text is feasible and can achieve similar accuracy as non text-based pursuit approaches. While calibration is less accurate, it integrates smoothly with reading and allows areas of the display the user is looking at to be identified.},

Although gaze has been thoroughly investigated for desktop scenarios, gaze-enabled public displays present new challenges that are unique to this setup. In contrast to desktop settings, public displays (1) cannot afford requiring eye tracker calibration, (2) expect users to interact from different positions, and (3) expect multiple users to interact simultaneously. In this work we discuss these challenges, and explore the design space of gaze-enabled public displays. We conclude by discussing how the current state of research stands wrt.~the identified challenges, and highlight directions for future work.},

At the same time, this makes it difficult for researchers to gather generalizable insights on audience behavior. Rather, findings are often very specific to a particular deployment. We argue that in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of how successful interactive display installations can be created, researchers need to explore an as large variety of situations as possible. We contribute to this understanding by providing insights from a deployment in a security critical environment and involving multiple stakeholders where the audience is encountered in different situations (waiting, passing-by).

To address the aforementioned drawbacks, we introduce ATREUS, an open-source framework which enables creating and provisioning manifold mobile remote controls as plain web applications. We describe the basic architecture of ATREUS and present four functional remote controls realized using the framework. Two sophisticated controls, the Mini Video and the Smart Lens approach, have been previously implemented as native applications only.

In contrast to such primary tasks, secondary tasks have yet received little attention in research, despite practical relevance. For example, a secondary task might occur by displaying special ticket offers to a tourist browsing a city map for attractions. This paper investigates secondary tasks with two key-contributions: First, we describe a design space for secondary tasks on public displays, identifying dimensions of interest to application designers. Second, we present a user study with text entry and mental arithmetic tasks to assess how secondary tasks influence performance in the primary task depending on two main dimensions -- difficulty and temporal integration. We report performance (completion times, error rates) and subjective user ratings, such as distraction and frustration. Analysis of gaze data suggests three main strategies of how users switch between primary and secondary tasks. Based on our findings, we conclude with recommendations for designing apps with secondary tasks on public displays.},

We provide a principled comparison of the performance of six features and their combinations for measuring attention: face presence, movement trajectory, walking speed, shoulder orientation, head pose, and gaze direction. We implemented a prototype that is capable of capturing this rich set of features from video and depth camera data. Using a controlled lab experiment (N=18) we show that as a single feature, face presence is indeed among the most accurate. We further show that accuracy can be increased through a combination of features (+10.3%), knowledge about the audience (+63.8%), as well as user identities (+69.0%).

We compare touch-to-target offset patterns for four target types and two hand postures. Our analyses reveal that small, compactly shaped targets near screen edges yield the most descriptive touch targeting patterns. Moreover, our results show that thumb touches are more individual than index finger ones. We conclude that touch-based user identification systems should analyse GUI layouts and infer hand postures. We also describe a framework to estimate the usefulness of GUIs for touch biometrics.},

This grants access for a limited amount of time (e.g. 30 seconds). The device then automatically locks itself upon expiration. Our concept further explores limiting the possible number of Snaps in a row, and configuring blacklists for app use during short access (e.g. to exclude banking apps). We discuss opportunities and challenges of this concept based on a 30-day field study with 18 participants, including data logging and experience sampling methods. Snaps significantly reduced unlock times, and our app was perceived to offer a good tradeoff. Conceptual challenges include, for example, supporting users in configuring their blacklists.},

Using individual differences theory, we identified three distinct user groups, namely followers, hedonists, and achievers.

To investigate and understand the impact of novel interaction techniques, content, and display properties, researchers and practitioners alike rely on observations of the audience.

To address this challenge, we present a tool that allows scenes in front of a display to be reconstructed from Kinect data (user position and body posture) and visualized in a virtual environment. In this way, the privacy of the audience can be preserved while allowing display owners to run in-depth investigations of their display installations.},

Although gaze has been thoroughly investigated for desktop scenarios, gaze-enabled public displays present new challenges that are unique to this setup. In contrast to desktop settings, public displays (1) cannot afford requiring eye tracker calibration, (2) expect users to interact from different positions, and (3) expect multiple users to interact simultaneously. In this work we discuss these challenges, and explore the design space of gaze-enabled public displays. We conclude by discussing how the current state of research stands wrt. the identified challenges, and highlight directions for future work.},

Currently, this sweet spot is implicitly defined by display properties, content, the input modality, as well as space constraints in front of the display. We present GravitySpot - an approach that makes sweet spots flexible by actively guiding users to arbitrary target positions in front of displays using visual cues. Such guidance is beneficial, for example, if a particular input technology only works at a specific distance or if users should be guided towards a non-crowded area of a large display. In two controlled lab studies (n=29) we evaluate different visual cues based on color, shape, and motion, as well as position-to-cue mapping functions. We show that both the visual cues and mapping functions allow for fine-grained control over positioning speed and accuracy. Findings are complemented by observations from a 3-month real-world deployment.},

We implemented TapScript for evaluation with an online survey (N=91) and a field study with a chat app (N=11). Looking at resulting fonts, survey participants distinguished pairs of typists with 84.5% accuracy and walking/sitting with 94.8%. Study participants perceived fonts as individual and the chat experience as personal. They also made creative explicit use of font adaptations.},

This leads to offsets between the user's intended touch location and the actual location sensed by the device. Recent research has modelled such offset patterns to analyse and predict touch targeting behaviour. However, these models have only been applied in lab experiments for specific tasks (typing, pointing, targeting games). In contrast, their applications to websites are yet unexplored. To close this gap, this paper explores the potential of touch modelling for the mobile web: We present a toolkit which allows web developers to collect and analyse touch interactions with their websites. Our system can learn about users' targeting patterns to simulate expected touch interactions and help identify potential usability issues for future versions of the website prior to deployment. We train models on data collected in a field experiment with 50 participants in a shopping scenario. Our analyses show that the resulting models capture interesting behavioural patterns, reveal insights into user-specific behaviour, and enable predictions of expected error rates for individual interface elements.},

However, a known challenge in the domain is that of display blindness in which passersby pay little or no attention to public displays. This phenomenon has been a major motivation for much of the research on public displays. However, since the early observations, little has been done to develop our understanding of display blindness -- for example, to identify determining factors or propose appropriate metrics. Hence, the degree to which developments in signage form, content, and interaction address display blindness remains unclear. In this paper we examine and categorize current approaches to studying and addressing display blindness. Based on our analysis we identify open questions in the research space, including the impact of display physicality and audience differences, relationships with other observed effects, the impact of research interventions, and selection of appropriate metrics. The goal of this paper is to start a discussion within the community on the topic, and to inform the design of future research.},

While applications usually focus on one particular input technology, we set out to adjust the interaction modality based on the proximity of users to the screen. Therefore, we built a system which combines technology-transparent interaction spaces across 4 interaction zones: touch, fine-grained, general, and coarse gestures. In a user study, participants performed a pointing task within and across these zones. Results show that zone transitions are most feasible up to 2m from the screen. Hence, applications can map functionality across different interaction zones, thereby providing additional interaction dimensions and decreasing the complexity of the gesture set. We collected subjective feedback and present a user-defined gesture set for performing a series of standard tasks across different interaction zones. Seamless transition between these spaces is essential to create a consistent interaction experience; finally, we discuss characteristics of systems that take into account user proxemics as input modality.},

To tackle these challenges, we propose a see-through augmented reality application for digital signage that enables passersby to observe the area behind the display, augmented with useful data. We report on the development and deployment of our application in two public settings: a public library and a supermarket. Based on observations of 261 (library) and 661 (supermarket) passersby and 14 interviews, we provide early insights and implications for application designers. Our results show a significant increase in attention: the see-through signage was noticed by 46% of the people, compared to 14% with the non-see through version. Furthermore, findings indicate that to best benefit the passersby, the AR displays should clearly communicate their purpose.},

In particular, verifying users based on typing behaviour has been widely studied with physical keyboards. On mobile touchscreens, the same concepts have been applied with little adaptations so far. This paper presents the first reported study on mobile keystroke biometrics which compares touch-specific features between three different hand postures and evaluation schemes. Based on 20.160 password entries from a study with 28 participants over two weeks, we show that including spatial touch features reduces implicit authentication equal error rates (EER) by 26.4 - 36.8% relative to the previously used temporal features. We also show that authentication works better for some hand postures than others. To improve applicability and usability, we further quantify the influence of common evaluation assumptions: known attacker data, training and testing on data from a single typing session, and fixed hand postures. We show that these practices can lead to overly optimistic evaluations. In consequence, we describe evaluation recommendations, a probabilistic framework to handle unknown hand postures, and ideas for further improvements.},

This can tax cognition as navigation information competes with information from the real world. We propose actuated navigation, a new kind of pedestrian navigation in which the user does not need to attend to the navigation task at all. An actuation signal is directly sent to the human motor system to influence walking direction. To achieve this goal we stimulate the sartorius muscle using electrical muscle stimulation. The rotation occurs during the swing phase of the leg and can easily be counteracted. The user therefore stays in control. We discuss the properties of actuated navigation and present a lab study on identifying basic parameters of the technique as well as an outdoor study in a park.

abstract = {Video recording is becoming an integral part of our daily activities: Action cams and wearable cameras allow us to capture scenes of our daily life effortlessly. This trend generates vast amounts of video material impossible to review manually. However, these recordings also contain a lot of information potentially interesting to the recording individual and to others. Such videos can provide a meaningful summary of the day, serving as a digital extension to the user's human memory. They might also be interesting to others as tutorials (e.g. how to change a flat tyre). As a first step towards this vision, we present a survey assessing the users' view and their video recording behavior. Findings were used to inform the design of a prototype based on off-the-shelf components, which allows users to create meaningful video clips of their daily activities in an automated manner by using their phone and any wearable camera. We conclude with a preliminary, qualitative study showing the feasibility and potential of the approach and sketch future research directions.},

Instead of using 3D for entertainment, we explore the 3D effect as a mean to spatially structure user interface (UI) elements. To evaluate potentials and drawbacks of in-car 3D displays we mounted an autostereoscopic display as instrument cluster in a vehicle and conducted a real-world driving study with 15 experts in automotive UI design. The results show that the 3D effect increases the perceived quality of the UI and enhances the presentation of spatial information (e.g., navigation cues) compared to 2D. However, the effect should be used well-considered to avoid spatial clutter which can increase the system's complexity.},

A recent line of work has modelled user-specific touch behaviour with machine learning methods to reveal spatial targeting error patterns across the screen. These models can also be applied to improve accuracy of touchscreens and keyboards, and to recognise users and hand postures. However, no implementation of these techniques has been made publicly available yet, hindering broader use in research and practical deployments. Therefore, this paper presents a toolkit which implements such touch models for data analysis (Python), mobile applications (Java/Android), and the web (JavaScript). We demonstrate several applications, including hand posture recognition, on touch targeting data collected in a study with 24 participants. We consider different target types and hand postures, changing behaviour over time, and the influence of hand sizes.},

We describe the design space of these transformations and report on two user studies: A lab-based security study involving 20 participants in attacking user-defined passwords, using high quality pictures of real smudge traces captured on a mobile phone display; and an in-the-field usability study with 374 participants who generated more than 130,000 logins on a mobile phone implementation of SmudgeSafe. Results show that SmudgeSafe significantly increases security compared to authentication schemes based on PINs and lock patterns, and exhibits very high learnability, efficiency, and memorability.},

Such a safety-critical application area creates an inherent need to understand how the use of stereoscopic 3D visualizations impacts user performance. We conducted a comprehensive study with 56 participants to investigate the impact of a 3D instrument cluster (IC) on primary and secondary task performance. We investigated different visualizations (2D and 3D) and complexities (low vs. high amount of details) of the IC as well as two 3D display technologies (shutter vs. autostereoscopy). As secondary tasks the participants judged spatial relations between UI elements (expected events) and reacted on pop-up instructions (unexpected events) in the IC. The results show that stereoscopy increases accuracy for expected events, decreases task completion times for unexpected tasks, and increases the attractiveness of the interface. Furthermore, we found a significant influence of the used technology, indicating that secondary task performance improves for shutter displays.},

At the same time, technological advances have enabled the creation of interactive displays potentially increasing their attractiveness for the audience, e.g. through providing a platform for civic discourse. This poses considerable challenges, since displays need to communicate the opportunity to engage, motivate the audience to do so, and be easy to use. In this paper we present Vote With Your Feet, a hyperlocal public polling tool for urban screens allowing users to express their opinions. Similar to vox populi interviews on TV or polls on news websites, the tool is meant to reflect the mindset of the community on topics such as current affairs, cultural identity and local matters. It is novel in that it focuses on a situated civic discourse and provides a tangible user interface, tackling the mentioned challenges. It shows one Yes/No question at a time and enables users to vote by stepping on one of two tangible buttons on the ground. This user interface was introduced to attract people's attention and to lower participation barriers. Our field study showed that Vote With Your Feet is perceived as inviting and that it can spark discussions among co-located people.},

In this way, interaction with displays can be made more attractive, particularly if deployed across displays hence involving many users. However, interactive applications are still scarce, which can be attributed to the fact that developers usually need to implement a low-level connection to the sensor. In this work, we tackle this issue by presenting a toolkit, called SenScreen, consisting of (a) easy-to-install adapters that handle the low-level connection to sensors and provides the data via (b) an API that allows developers to write their applications in JavaScript. We evaluate our approach by letting two groups of developers create an interactive game each using our toolkit. Observation, interviews, and questionnaire indicate that our toolkit simplifies the implementation of interactive applications and may, hence, serve as a first step towards a more widespread use of interactive public displays.},

This allows information to be perceived in a quick and easy to understand manner. With advances in technology, HUDs will allow richer information to be conveyed to the driver by exploiting the third dimension. We envision a stereoscopic HUD for displaying content in 3D space. This requires an understanding of how parallaxes impact the user's performance and comfort, which is the focus of this work. In two user studies, involving 49 participants, we (a) gather insights into how projection distances and stereoscopic visualizations influence the comfort zone and (b) the depth judgment of the user. The results show that with larger projection distances both the comfort zone and the minimum comfortable viewing distance increase. Higher distances between the viewer and a real world object to be judged decrease the judgment accuracy.},

abstract = {Fueled by falling display hardware costs and rising demand, digital signage and pervasive displaysare becoming ever more ubiquitous. Such systems have traditionally been used for advertising andinformation dissemination with digital signage commonplace in shopping malls, airports and publicspaces.While advertising and broadcasting announcements remain important applications, developmentsin sensing and interaction technologies are enabling entirely newclasses of display applicationsthat tailor content to the situation and audience of the display. As a result, signage systems arebeginning to transition from simple broadcast systems to rich platforms for communication andinteraction.In this lecture we provide an introduction to this emerging field for researchers and practitionersinterested in creating state-of-the-art pervasive display systems. We begin by describingthe history of pervasive display research, providing illustrations of key systems, from pioneeringwork on supporting collaboration to contemporary systems designed for personalized informationdelivery.We then consider what the near-future might hold for display networks—describing a seriesof compelling applications that are being postulated for future display networks. Creating suchsystems raises a wide range of challenges and requires designers to make a series of important tradeoffs.We dedicate four chapters to key aspects of pervasive display design: audience engagement,display interaction, system software and system evaluation. These chapters provide an overview ofcurrent thinking in each area. Finally, we present a series of case studies of display systems and ourconcluding remarks.},

A benefit of such UIs is that they can group and structure information in a way that makes them easily perceivable for the user. For example, important information can be shown in front of less important information. This paper identifies core requirements for designing S3D UIs and derives concrete guidelines. The requirements also serve as a basis for two depth layout tools we built with the aim to overcome limitations of traditional prototyping when sketching S3D UIs. We evaluated the tools with usability experts and compared them to traditional paper prototyping.},

Prior work has shown large potential of user-generated content on public displays. However, one of the problems with user-generated content on public displays is moderation as content may be explicit or troublesome for a particular location. In this work we explore the expectations of users with regard to content moderation on public displays. An online survey revealed that people not only think that display content should be moderated but also that a delay of up to 10 minutes is acceptable if display content is moderated. In a subsequent in the wild deployment we compared different moderation delays. We found that a moderation delay significantly decreases the number of user-generated posts while at the same time there is no significant effect on users' decision to repeatedly post on the display.},

We see electrical musclestimulation (EMS) as a well-suited technology forproviding haptic feedback in this domain. Thecharacteristics of EMS can be used to assist users inlearning, manipulating, and perceiving virtual objects.One of the core challenges is to understand thesecharacteristics and how they can be applied. As a step inthis direction, this paper presents a design space thatidenties dierent aspects of using EMS for hapticfeedback.

Adding haptic feedback offers the potential for more realistic and immersive experiences.

EMS offers a wide range of different strengths and qualities of haptic feedback. In this paper we first systematically investigate the design space for haptic feedback. Second, we experimentally explore differences between strengths of EMS and vibrotactile feedback. Third, based on the results, we evaluate EMS and vibrotactile feedback with regard to different virtual objects (soft, hard) and interaction with different gestures (touch, grasp, punch) in front of a large display. The results provide a basis for the design of haptic feedback that is appropriate for the given type of interaction and the material.},

We currently see stereo vision displays becoming ubiquitous, particularly as auto-stereoscopy enables the perception of 3D content without the use of glasses. As a result, application areas for 3D beyond entertainment in cinema or at home emerge, including work settings, mobile phones, public displays, and cars. At the same time, eye tracking is hitting the consumer market with low-cost devices. We envision eye trackers in the future to be integrated with consumer devices (laptops, mobile phones, displays), hence allowing the user's gaze to be analyzed and used as input for interactive applications. A particular challenge when applying this concept to 3D displays is that current eye trackers provide the gaze point in 2D only (x and y coordinates). In this paper, we compare the performance of two methods that use the eye's physiology for calculating the gaze point in 3D space, hence enabling gaze-based interaction with stereoscopic content. Furthermore, we provide a comparison of gaze interaction in 2D and 3D with regard to user experience and performance. Our results show that with current technology, eye tracking on stereoscopic displays is possible with similar performance as on standard 2D screens.},

abstract = {Today, people living in cities see up to 5000 ads per day and many of themare presented on public displays. More and more of these public displays arenetworked and equipped with various types of sensors, making them part of aglobal infrastructure that is currently emerging. Such networked and interactivepublic displays provide the opportunity to create a benefit for society in the formof immersive experiences and relevant content. In this way, they can overcomethe display blindness that evolved among passersby over the years. We see twomain reasons that prevent this vision from coming true: first, public displaysare stuck with traditional advertising as the driving business model, making itdifficult for novel, interactive applications to enter the scene. Second, no commonground exists for researchers or advertisers that outline important challenges. Theprovider view and audience view need to be addressed to make open, interactivedisplay networks, successful.The main contribution made by this thesis is presenting a design space for advertisingon public displays that identifies important challenges – mainly from ahuman-computer interaction perspective. Solutions to these core challenges arepresented and evaluated, using empirical methods commonly applied in HCI.First, we look at challenges that arise from the shared use of display space. Weconducted an observational study of traditional public notice areas that allowedus to identify different stakeholders, to understand their needs and motivations, tounveil current practices used to exercise control over the display, and to understandthe interplay between space, stakeholders, and content. We present a set of designimplications for open public display networks that we applied when implementingand evaluating a digital public notice area.Second, we tackle the challenge of making the user interact by taking a closerlook at attracting attention, communicating interactivity, and enticing interaction.Attracting attention is crucial for any further action to happen. We present anapproach that exploits gaze as a powerful input modality. By adapting contentbased on gaze, we are able to show a significant increase in attention and an effecton the user’s attitude. In order to communicate interactivity, we show that themirror representation of the user is a powerful interactivity cue. Finally, in orderto entice interaction, we show that the user needs to be motivated to interact andto understand how interaction works. Findings from our experiments reveal directtouch and the mobile phone as suitable interaction technologies. In addition, thesefindings suggest that relevance of content, privacy, and security have a stronginfluence on user motivation.},

We believe this approach to be applicable to a wide variety of text messages,such as SMS, email, or IM. In this paper, we first present a web-based platform that allows usergeneratedmappings for text sonification to be created and managed. An API enables any application tosend a text message and receive the sonification in the form of a MIDI file. To showcase the potential,we implemented an Android app that sonifies incoming SMS. Second, we evaluate the feasibility of ourapproach and show that sonified messages are equally effective as ringtones when conveying metainformation.},

Hapticfeedback can today be achieved through vibration on themobile phone, which is strongly dependent on the locationof the device. We envision that fabrics, such as underwear,can in the future be equipped with electrical musclestimulation, thus providing a more natural and direct wayof haptic feedback.

However, deploying and maintaining display systems “in the wild” that can support communities is challenging. Based on the authors’ experiences in designing and fielding a diverse range of community-supporting public display deployments, we identify a large set of challenges and issues that researchers working in this area are likely to encounter. Grouping them into five distinct layers -- (1) hardware, (2) system architecture, (3) content, (4) system interaction, and (5) community interaction design -- we draw up the P-LAYERS framework to enable a more systematic appreciation of the diverse range of issues associated with the development, the deployment, and the maintenance of such systems. Using three of our own deployments as illustrative examples, we will describe both our experiences within each individual layer, as well as point out interactions between the layers. We believe our framework provides a valuable aid for researchers looking to work in this space, alerting them to the issues they are likely to encounter during their deployments, and help them plan accordingly.},

We envision that such networks are not restricted to display owners and advertisers anymore, but allow also passersby (e.g., customers) to exchange content, similar to traditional public notice areas, such as bulletin boards. In this context it is crucial to understand emerging practices and provide easy and straight forward interaction techniques to be used for creating and exchanging content. In this paper, we present Digifieds, a digital public notice area we built to investigate and compare possible interaction techniques. Based on a lab study we show that using direct touch at the display as well as using the mobile phone as a complementing interaction technology are most suitable. Direct touch at the display closely resembles the interaction known from classic bulletin boards and provides the highest usability. Mobile phones preserve the users' privacy as they exchange (sensitive) data with the display and at the same time allow content to be created on-the-go or to be retrieved.},

abstract = {3D displays are hitting the mass market. They are integrated in consumer TVs, notebooks, and mobile phones and are mainly used for virtual reality as well as video content. We see large potential in using depth also for structuring information. Our specific use case is 3D displays integrated in cars. The capabilities of such displays could be used to present relevant information to the driver in a fast and easy-to-understand way, e.g., by functionality-based clustering. However, excessive parallaxes can cause discomfort and in turn negatively influence the primary driving task. This requires a reasonable choice of parallax boundaries. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we identify the comfort zone when perceiving 3D content. Second, we determine a minimum depth distance between objects that still enables users to quickly and accurately separate the two depth planes. The results yield that in terms of task completion time the optimum distance from screen level is up to 35.9 arc-min angular disparity behind the screen plane. A distance of at least 2.7 arc-min difference in angular disparity between the objects significantly decreases time for layer separation. Based on the results we derive design implications.},

One such decision concerns access to its contents: should users be able to access content remotely, e.g., via a web page, or should this be limited to users who are co-located with the display? A similar decision has to be made for community content upload: do posters need to be co-located with the display or can posts be made from any location? In other words, content display and creation can be 'tethered' to a display or it can be 'free to roam', i.e., accessible from anywhere. In this paper we analyze prior community display deployments in an attempt to explore this space and produce a taxonomy that highlights the inherent design choices.

Such displays allow engaging and persistent user experiences to be created, e.g., in the form of gesture-controlled games or content exploration using direct touch at the display. However, as digital displays replace traditional posters and billboards, display owners are reluctant to deploy interactive content, but rather adapt traditional, non-interactive content. The main reason is, that the benefit of such interactive deployments is not obvious. Our hypothesis is that interactivity has a cognitive effect on users and therefore increases the ability to remember what they have seen on the screen -- which is beneficial both for the display owner and the user. In this paper we systematically investigate the impact of interactive content on public displays on the users' cognition in different situations. Our findings indicate that overall memorability is positively affected as users interact. Based on these findings we discuss design implications for interactive public displays.},

There are no widely accepted abstractions, standards, or practices that may enable systematic interaction between mobile devices and public displays. We envision public displays to move away from a world of closed display networks to scenarios where mobile applications could allow people to interact with the myriad of displays they might encounter during their everyday trips. In this research, we study the key processes involved in this collaborative interaction between public shared displays and mobile applications. Based on the lessons learned from our own development and deployment of 3 applications, and also on the analysis of the interactive features described in the literature, we have identified 8 key processes that may shape this form of interaction: Discovery, Association, Presence Management, Exploration, Interface Migration, Controller, Media Upload and Media Download. The contribution of this work is the identification of these high-level processes and an elicitation of the main design considerations for display networks.},

An often underused resource in public spaces -- public displays -- can be used to stimulate these needs. In this paper we argue for a new research direction that explores how public displays can stimulate such essential needs in public spaces. We describe and conceptualize related processes that occur around public displays, based on in-depth observations of people interacting with a publicly fielded display application in a city center. Our conceptualization is meant to lay the foundations for designing engaging public display systems that stimulate PACD, and for supporting the analysis of existing deployments.},

Our system analyzes the gaze path on a page and uses this information to create adaptive content on subsequent pages. As a proof-of-concept we report on a case study with 12 participants. We presented them both randomly chosen content (baseline) as well as content chosen based on their gaze-behavior.

abstract = {High-speed Internet connectivity makes browsing a convenient task. However, there are many situations in which surfing the web is still slow due to limited bandwidth, slow servers, or complex queries. As a result, loading web pages can take several seconds, making (mobile) browsing cumbersome. We present an approach which makes use of the time spent on waiting for the next page, by bridging the wait with extra cached or preloaded content. We show how the content (e.g., news, Twitter) can be adapted to the user's interests and to the context of use, hence making mobile surfing more comfortable. We compare two approaches: in time-multiplex mode, the entire screen displays bridging content until the loading is finished. In space-multiplex mode, content is displayed alongside the requested content while it loads. We use an HTTP proxy to intercept requests and add JavaScript code, which allows the bridging content from websites of our choice to be inserted. The approach was evaluated with 15 participants, assessing suitable content and usability.},

The lack of generally accepted design guidelines for public displays and the fact that there are many different objectives (e.g., increasing attention, optimizing interaction times, finding the best interaction technique) make it a challenging task to pick the most suitable evaluation method. Based on a literature survey and our own experiences, this paper provides an overview of study types, paradigms, and methods for evaluation both in the lab and in the real world.

We envision that such displays can create interacting places, i. e., public spaces that promote community interaction and place awareness. In this paper we describe our Interacting Places Framework (IPF), a conceptual framework for designing applications in this novel research space that we developed based on four distinct public display studies. Our IPF focuses on 4 elements: 1) content providers, i. e., entities that will supply content; 2) content viewers, i. e., people who are addressed by the content; 3) communication channels that deliver the content and range from inclusive, i. e., open-for-everyone, to exclusive, i. e., closed-group channels; and 4) an awareness diffusion layer that describes how community awareness building happens both explicitly, i. e., through content tailored towards a specific audience, and implicitly, by observing output for other people.},

However, publicdisplays currently fail to attract the attention of the user– a challenge that could be overcome by networking displaysand deploying sensors that allow novel interaction techniquesand engaging user experiences to be created. Onemajor question is how to design an appropriate infrastructurethat caters to the conflicting needs of the involved stakeholders.Users want interesting content and their privacy beingrespected, advertisers want to gather the user’s data, anddisplay owners want to be in control of the content as theyfund the infrastructure. We identify the core components anddiscuss how control can be appropriately distributed amongstakeholders by presenting three different forms of the architecture(user-centered, advertiser-centered, trusted).},

We designed an interactive installation that uses visual feedback to the incidental movements of passers-by to communicate its interactivity. The lab study reveals: (1) Mirrored user silhouettes and images are more effective than avatar-like representations. (2) It takes time to notice the interactivity (approx. 1.2s). In the field study, three displays were installed during three weeks in shop windows, and data about 502 interaction sessions were collected. Our observations show: (1) Significantly more passers-by interact when immediately showing the mirrored user image (+90%) or silhouette (+47%) compared to a traditional attract sequence with call-to-action. (2) Passers-by often notice interactivity late and have to walk back to interact (the landing effect). (3) If somebody is already interacting, others begin interaction behind the ones already interacting, forming multiple rows (the honeypot effect). Our findings can be used to design public display applications and shop windows that more effectively communicate interactivity to passers-by.},

Gaze-based graphical passwords are a particularly promising means for shoulder-surfing-resistant authentication, but selecting secure passwords remains challenging. In this paper, we present a novel gaze-based authentication scheme that makes use of cued-recall graphical passwords on a single image. In order to increase password security, our approach uses a computational model of visual attention to mask those areas of the image that are most likely to attract visual attention. We create a realistic threat model for attacks that may occur in public settings, such as filming the user's interaction while drawing money from an ATM. Based on a 12-participant user study, we show that our approach is significantly more secure than a standard image-based authentication and gaze-based 4-digit PIN entry.},

One focus of current research has been on post-hoc behavior analysis based on video footage where one or multiple cameras were used to review situations in which children behaved in a certain way. As miniaturized cameras as well as portable devices are becoming available at low costs, we envision a new quality in supporting the diagnosis, observation, and education of children with special needs. In contrast to existing approaches that use cameras in fix locations, we suggest to use multiple mobile camera perspectives. In this way observation data from fellow classmates, teachers, and caregivers can be considered, even in highly dynamic outdoor situations. In this paper we present MuPerBeAn, a platform that allows multi-perspective video footage from mobile cameras to be collected, synchronously reviewed, and annotated. We report on interviews with caregivers and parents and present a qualitative study based on two scenarios involving a total of seven children with autism (CWA). Our findings show that observing multiple mobile perspectives can help children as well as teachers to better reflect on situations, particularly during education.},

We deployed and evaluated Digifieds in an urban environment in the context of the UbiChallenge 2011 in Oulu, Finland over the course of 6 months.

abstract = {As pervasive computing technologies leave the labs, they are starting tobe used for the purpose of advertising. Pervasive Advertising has the potential toaffect everyone’s life, but it seems that a knowledge gap is preventing us fromshaping this development in a meaningful way. In particular, many marketing andadvertising professionals have an expert understanding of their trade, but are unawareof recent advances in pervasive computing technologies, the opportunitiesthey offer, and the challenges they pose. Similarly, many pervasive computing researchersand professionals are on top of the recent technological advances, butlack basic marketing and advertising expertise and therefore an understanding ofhow their technology can influence these fields. This book is intended to close thisgap and provide the means to meaningfully shape the future of pervasive advertising.},

abstract = {Large public screens are proliferating in public spaces. Today, most of them arestandalone installations that display advertisements in the form of slides, short movies, or stillimages. However, it is not hard to imagine that these displays will soon be connected throughthe Internet, thus creating a global and powerful communication medium capable of providingrich, interactive applications. We believe that such a medium has the potential to fosterconnections within and between communities in public spaces. In this paper we present aresearch agenda for interacting places, i.e., public spaces that connect communities throughpublic displays. We then report on our initial work in this space, in particular on using publicdisplays for creating what we call identity cognition – increasing the sense of being connectedbetween community members occupying the same space. We have investigated two options forachieving identity cognition: (a) through content that originates from the environment, and (b)through content that originates from people. Content originating from the environment portraysinformation about a display’s surrounding. For this type of content, identity cognition is usuallybeing achieved implicitly by stimulating the effect of ‘triangulation’, an effect whereparticularities of the physical space act as links between people. Content originating frompeople, on the other hand, explicitly achieves identity cognition by promoting community valuesthrough content that expresses the attitudes, beliefs, and ideas of individual communitymembers. We have built and deployed two public display applications that support identitycognition using environmentally-sourced content and people-sourced content, respectively.},

In our work, we are interested in exploring how these isolated display solutions can be interconnected to form a single large network of public displays, thus supporting novel forms of sharing access to display real estate. In order to explore the feasibility of this vision, we investigated today’s practices surrounding shared notice areas, i.e. places where customers and visitors can put up event posters and classifieds, such as shop windows or notice boards. In particular, we looked at the content posted to such areas, the means for sharing it (i.e., forms of content control), and the reason for providing the shared notice area. Based on two-week long photo logs and a number of in-depth interviews with providers of such notice areas, we provide a systematic assessment of factors that inhibit or promote the shared use of public display space, ultimately leading to a set of concrete design implication for providing future digital versions of such public notice areas in the form of networked public displays.},

Most of these displays, however, simply show some form of traditional advertising, such as short commercials, animated presentations, or still images. Creating content that ex-plicitly takes the particular location and surroundings of a space into account, in order to increase its relevance for passers-by, is typically infeasible due to the high costs associated with customized content. We argue that the concept of au-topoiesic content (i.e., self-generative content) could significantly increase the local relevance of such situated public displays without requiring much custom-ization efforts. As a sample application, this position paper outlines the concept and architecture of Funsquare, a large public display system that uses autopoi-esic content to facilitate social interaction.},

In this paper we ex-plore cylindrical displays as a possible form of such novel public displays. We present a prototype and report on a user study, comparing the influence of the display shape on user behavior and user experience between flat and cylindrical displays. The results indicate that people move more in the vicinity of cylindrical displays and that there is no longer a default position when it comes to interaction. As a result, such displays are especially suitable to keep people in motion and to support gesture-like interaction.},

This becomes even more important when designing systems for the use on motorbikes; space for output devices is scarce, as people are wearing helmets visual feedback is often difficult due to lighting conditions, and audio feedback is limited. In a first step we aimed at creating an understanding as to how information could be communicated in a meaningful way using vibrotactile signals. Therefore, we investigated suitable positions of actuators on the hand, appropriate length of the vibration stimulus, and different vibration patterns. We built a first prototype with 4 vibration actuators attached to the fingertips and asked 4 participants to test our prototype while driving.

Hence, the variety of entertainment in the car increases, and many vehicles are already equipped with displays, allowing for watching news, videos, accessing the Internet, or playing games. At the same time, the urbanization caused a massive increase of traffic volume, which led to people spending an ever-increasing amount of their time in front of red traffic lights. An observation of the prevailing forms of entertainment in the car reveals that content such as text, videos, or games are often a mere adaptation of content produced for television, public displays, PCs, or mobile phones and do not adapt to the situation in the car. In this paper we report on a web survey assessing which forms of entertainment and which types of content are considered to be useful for in-car entertainment by drivers. We then introduce an algorithm, which is capable of learning standing times in front of traffic lights based on GPS information only. This, on one hand, allows for providing content of appropriate length, on the other hand, for directing the attention of the driver back to-wards the street at the right time. Finally, we present a prototype implementation and a qualitative evaluation.},

In this paper we assess how the idea of user-generated content, web-based crowdsourcing, and mobile electronic coordination can be combined to extend crowdsourcing beyond the digital domain and link it to tasks in the real world. To explore our concept we implemented a crowd-sourcing platform that integrates location as a parameter for distributing tasks to workers. In the paper we describe the concept and design of the platform and discuss the results of two user studies. Overall the findings show that integrating tasks in the physical world is useful and feasible. We observed that (1) mobile workers prefer to pull tasks rather than getting them pushed, (2) requests for pictures were the most favored tasks, and (3) users tended to solve tasks mainly in close proximity to their homes. Based on this, we discuss issues that should be considered during designing mobile crowdsourcing applications.},

Based on our findings we discuss guidelines for the design of ambient displays for context sharing.},

abstract = {In densely populated urban areas high amounts of trafficpose a major problem, which affects the environment, economy,and our lives. From a user’s perspective, the main issuesinclude delays due to traffic jams, lack of parking spaceand high costs due to increasing fuel prices (e.g., if commutinglong distances). Collective transportation (CT), e.g., publictransport systems, provides a partly solution to these issues.Yet, CT does not support door-to-door transportationhence reducing convenience; it might be limited in off-peakhours, and it is still a cost factor when travelling long distances.A solution to these issues is ride sharing, an evolvingform of CT making alternative transportation more affordable.In this paper we present a modular, context-aware ridesharing platform. We aim at enhancing convenience, reliability,and affordability of different forms of ride sharing bymeans of context data. Additionally our approach supports aneasy server- and client-side expansion due to the modularplatform structure.Author Keywords ride},

However, there are many situations in which it is inconvenient or inappropriate to check a message's content immediately. In this paper, we introduce the concept of audio previews of SMS. Based on a real-time analysis of the content of a message, we provide auditory cues in addition to the notification tone upon receiving an SMS. We report on a field trial with 20 participants and show that the use of audio-enhanced SMS affects the reading and writing behavior of users. Our work is motivated by the results of an online survey among 347 SMS users of whose we analyzed 3400 text messages.},

Various approaches exist today as to how information about the users’ interests can be gathered. Users can deliberately and explicitly provide this information or user’s shopping behaviors can be analyzed implicitly. We implemented an advertising platform to simulate an advertising environment and present adaptive profiles, which let users setup profiles based on a self-assessment, and enhance those profiles with information about their real shopping behavior as well as about their activity intensity. Additionally, we explain how pervasive technologies such as Bluetooth can be used to create a profile anonymously and unobtrusively.},

In this paper, we describe the design of a system that allows users to easily compose melodies and share them via mobile phones. We show that by using these melodies information about the current emotional state of the sender can be expressed and recognized synchronously by the receiver in a simple, quick, and unobtrusive way. Further, we reveal that self-composed melodies have a stronger impact than pre-composed or downloaded messages, similar to crafted pieces of art offered to a beloved person. We then present findings from a user study that assesses the implementation of a functional prototype and the adequacy of the system for emotional communication.},

In this work we present the concept of parasitic and symbiotic web applications which can be deployed on arbitrary web pages by means of a proxy-based application platform. Such applications are capable of inserting, editing and deleting the content of web pages. We use an HTTP proxy in order to insert JavaScript code on each web page that is delivered from the web server to the browser. Additionally we use a database server hosting user-generated scripts as well as high-level APIs allowing for implementing customized web applications. Our approach is capable of cooperating with existing web pages by using shared standards (e.g. formatting of the structure on DOM level) and common APIs but also allows for user-generated (parasitic) applications on arbitrary web pages without the need for cooperation by the page owner.},

abstract = {Cars are ubiquitous and offer large and often highly visible surfaces that can be used as advertising space. Until now, advertising in this domain has focused on commercial vehicles, and advertisements have been painted on and were therefore static, with the exception of car-mounted displays that offer dynamic content. With new display technologies, we expect static displays or uniformly-painted surfaces (e.g. onto car doors or the sides of vans and trucks) to be replaced with embedded dynamic displays. We also see an opportunity for advertisements to be placed on non-commercial cars: results of our online survey with 187 drivers show that more than half of them have an interest in displaying advertising on their cars under two conditions: (1) they will receive financial compensation, and (2) there will be a means for them to influence the type of advertisements shown. Based on these findings, as well as further interviews with car owners and a car fleet manager, we discuss the requirements for a context-aware advertising platform, including a context-advertising editor and contextual content distribution system. We describe an implementation of the system that includes components for car owners to describe their preferences and for advertisers to contextualize their ad content and distribution mechanism.},
