Examples of such elements are the aggregated results disseminated by vertical portals, and the enriched snippets that display meta-information from the landing pages. In this paper, we investigate the gaze behaviour of web users who inter- act with SERP's that contain plain and rich snippets, and observe the impact of both types of snippets on the web search experience. For our study, we consider a wide range of snippet types, such as multimedia elements (Google Images, Google Videos), recommendation snippets (Author, Google Plus, Reviews, Google Shopping Product), and geo-location snippets (Google Places). We conduct two controlled user studies that employ eye tracking and mouse tracking, and analyse the search interactions of 213 participants, focusing on three factors: noticeability, interest, and conversion. Our findings indicate that ranking remains the most critical factor in relevance perception, although in certain cases the richness of snippets can capture user attention.","PeriodicalId":137603,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVI International Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132005873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New educational paradigms make use of technological tools to enhance the knowledge given in a classroom. In the literature review there aren't reports of Frameworks that are based on models and methods for developing Interactive Collaborative Learning Applications for Preschoolers (ICLAP). This paper proposes a meta-model for a Framework supporting the development of ICLAP taking into account the technology, the educational aspect and collaborative techniques that were observed during the attendance to sessions in schools. The ICLAP meta-model includes useful concepts for the use of Augmented Reality since we found that it emerges as a technology of interest in diverse areas and especially in education. Our contribution could be used for teachers, designers and developers as a conceptual guide. In addition, a study case is presented to illustrate the main concepts included in the meta-model.","PeriodicalId":137603,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVI International Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123462249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neglecting quality assessment can easily produce applications that do not meet users nor designers expectations. In this sense, previous works have illustrated how to consider quality in a user interface adaptation framework, such as ISATINE, i.e. how to contemplate Quality of Adaptation in each stage of this framework. The many facets of the concept of Quality of Adaptation have been analyzed, and it has been also proposed its decomposition into four types of interaction quality: Expected Quality of adaptation, Wished Quality of adaptation, Achieved Quality of adaptation, and Perceived Quality of adaptation. Furthermore, which of these types of quality are involved in every stage of ISATINE has been also described. However, what is the idea both users and developers have about Interaction Quality? Have they use the same terminology to refer to it? These are the questions that we attempt to answer with this work which presents a study about the characterization of Interaction Quality, namely about Expected and Wished Quality. Thus the aim of this work is to better understand the quality preferences of users, allowing developers to design software products much more attractive for them.","PeriodicalId":137603,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVI International Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114596460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The coupling of a mobile phone with multiple sensors has expanded the usage of smartphones into a wider area. A basic research on pre-requisites of Blind Source Separation (BSS) to be used in interaction devices is performed. Our focus of research is the application of signal processing techniques for BSS of audio signals captured using interaction devices like the smartphones with the final aim of recovering the spatial listening experience of persons with reduced hearing abilities using the recently proposed app-based system. With this app, the user is able to interactively enhance speech or sound sources in this surroundings using the interactive interface on his smartphone. The sensitivity and orientation of the smartphone microphones (mics) play a very important role to achieve a better quality of BSS and hence is one of the prime pre-requisites for BSS. Therefore, a benchmarking regarding the interdependence of the different internal and external mics as well as the orientation of the smartphones relative to the sources on the separation performance is discussed in this paper. Four smartphones are used to examine the influence of mic sensitivity on the BSS quality of captured signals. Further external mics with smartphones are tested for their influence on BSS. The captured audio signals are separated using PARAllel FACtor analysis (PARAFAC) based BSS algorithm.","PeriodicalId":137603,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVI International Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125904907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve short turnaround times when developing UIs, that moreover are of high quality and can adapt to various changes, the UI should be developed using a model-driven approach. Such model-driven development, generates a demand for IT professionals with model-driven UI development skills. The technical complexity of model-driven development adds up to the inherent complexity of UI design, and makes teaching UI development even more difficult. The evaluation of current environments reveals that none of them provides the necessary features to achieve good teaching support. Therefore the authors propose to extend the proven conceptual modelling teaching environment JMermaid by integrating of the W3C standard for Abstract User Interface meta-model and extending the existing models with presentation and user models. This tool will enable a student to generate a fully functional and feedback-enabled application with a single click and allow them to study how to design UI according to users preferences and skills.","PeriodicalId":137603,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVI International Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"56 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134555305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
