Abstract

In everyday life, we are able to perform various activities simultaneously without consciously paying attention to them. For example, we can easily read a newspaper while drinking coffee. This latter activity takes place in our background or periphery of attention. Contrarily, interactions with computing technology usually require focused attention. With interactive technologies becoming increasingly present in the everyday environment, it is essential to explore how these technologies could be developed such that people can interact with them both in the focus and in the periphery of attention. This upcoming field of Peripheral Interaction aims to fluently embed interactive technology into everyday life. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to share research and design work and to further shape the field of Peripheral Interaction.

CHI EA '13: CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

When executing one task on a computer, we are frequently confronted with secondary tasks (e.g., controlling an audio player or changing the IM state) that require shifting our attention away from the actual task, thus increasing our cognitive load. ...

TEI '12: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction

This paper explores the concept of peripheral interactions; interactions with technology that take place in the background or periphery of the attention. We present two designs for a classroom setting. CawClock makes selected time frames audible in ...
Peripheral tangible interaction by analytic design
TEI '09: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Tangible and Embedded Interaction

Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) are commonly accepted as those in which the configuration of physical objects embodies digital system state, providing "graspable" digital media that can be manipulated in the focus of users' attention. In this paper we ...
