Mid-air gesture interaction is often considered as a "natural" and "intuitive" input method, however, there has been little investigation of how older adults perceive and interact with these interfaces. We report the preliminary results of an experiment ...

The user interfaces and input events are typically composed of mouse and keyboard interactions in generic applications. Eye-controlled applications need to revise these interactions to eye gestures, and hence design and optimization of interface elements ...

This work in progress paper explores users' perceptions of the aesthetics of interaction. We describe a qualitative study using the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) that elicited individuals' personal constructs, bipolar adjectives such as beautiful vs ...

In this paper, we present our current research regarding information interaction strategies of students of minor specialization in Data Science. We employed an online platform, consisted of a third-party and our software, to provide students with means ...

Humans are inherently skilled at using subtle physiological cues from other persons, for example gaze direction in a conversation. Personal computers have yet to explore this implicit input modality. In a study with 14 participants, we investigate how a ...

This paper reports results from two workshops organized with children with visual impairments ranging from blindness to low vision. The aim of the workshops was to suggest gestures for the interaction with a small wearable audio-bracelet. Results show a ...

This extended abstract presents a gaze-interactive comics, where page design alters based on the coordinates of a user's gaze. We were analyzing the impact of gaze-based interactivity on the user's impression of the comics the plot comprehension. We ...

Building Ideas is a novel innovation approach to design interactive products that can evoke positive user experiences. The approach mainly relies on new ways to reflect and negotiate about emotional and implicit concerns and ideas in a tight ...

Adding anthropomorphic graphical elements to computerized learning materials has been shown to enhance learning. We have prepared an experimental study, in which we will investigate if learning is enhanced because of the elevated positive affect of ...

In this paper we present PeriodShare, a speculative design proposing a wireless menstrual cup that automatically quantifies and shares menstrual data on social networks. We suggest that PeriodShare is a design fiction that uses both crowd-funding ...

Interactive tabletops or projections became widely utilized in schools, museum exhibitions or conference rooms to teach and illustrate dynamic artifacts or support talks. In such scenarios, all observers, such as pupils and teachers, will perceive the ...

Gesture-based applications are common nowadays, but developing gestures is still error-prone and causes software defects as well as misunderstandings and frustration among project team members and stakeholders. Precise specification and documentation is ...

The use of light and ultra-light fonts has become an omnipresent trend in the design of modern user interfaces. Although this trend has been criticized by a number of usability experts, no empirical research exists to date on the legibility of these ...

This paper describes an exertion gameplay mechanic involving player's partial control of their opponent's sound localization abilities. We developed this concept through designing and testing "The Boy and The Wolf" game. In this game, we combined ...

Open offices, despite their tangible advantages, are challenging for autistic individuals due to continuous visual and social interruptions. In order to filter out these distractions and enhance autistics' attention and communication with their ...

We present the LeapArm system, which combines a Leap Motion controller for mid-air gestural human-computer interaction with a robotic arm. LeapArm actuates in real-time the orientation of the controller towards a user's hand, dynamically expanding the ...

This paper explores how technology for older adults needs to be designed to enhance their subjective feeling of wellbeing, supporting independence and health. In experience interviews which consider aspects of Positive Design and User Experience we ...

In the last decades, there has been a plethora of research on how to foster public participation. Recently, academia started to experiment with gamification aiming to design participation platforms more engaging as well as attract more citizens. In this ...

This extended abstract presents a prototype of an adaptive children's videogame designed for greater inclusivity. It describes the design of a novel game engine and prototype game that uses real-time interaction analytics to reasonably adapt the user ...

Menopause is an inevitable natural transition in a woman's life. However, many women are not conscious of the changes related to menopause and the eventual consequences for their health. Given the prevalent daily-use of smartphones, a mobile app that ...
